Play.com got into their stride in 2012 but were effectively snuffed out by Zavvi in 2013 . . . even though Play.com did release quite a few exclusives (compared to other retailers) it was really only for one year (2012) compared to Zavvi who have been doing the job of supplying exclusive (and tradewide) steelbooks for over six.

Not forgetting that when steelbooks were first introduced to the UK in 2008 the number of releases were tiny and stayed small until 2012:-

2008 total steelbook releases = 3
2009 ----------------------- " ------------ = 9
2010 ------------------------ " ------------ = 22
2011 ------------------------ " ------------ = 29
2012 ------------------------ " -------------= 126 (out of which 59 Play.com excl.)
2013 ------------------------ " ------------ = 165 (out of which 1, yes 1, was a Play.com excl. and 62 Zavvi excl.)
2014 ------------------------ " ------------ = 244 (out of which 134 Zavvi excl.)
Etc.


Even if they were just selling steelbooks I reckon they'd still be around as they appear to have their finger on the pulse of the market for collectables . . . now with the dumbing down of traditional antiques - almost across the board - collectables are truly where it's at and I reckon that as long as physical media remains in favour Zavvi will be around to supply it.

Yep like I said compared to years ago there are alot more coming out, you have the numbers in front of you

Just from looking at my shelves and consulting my notes.

do you have OCD?

 

[virkia]

do you have OCD?

No, just like things to be in order.
If you'd asked me that years ago I'd have replied "I'm a perfectionist" (but now I'm better).

Steelbook is WWA release in Europe/Asia
Steelbook Zavvi selling in UK is same

Yes art is the same as generally, for a lot of releases US or Europe get embossed or better finish and Zavvi is matte and missing embossing or debossing.

Finish has nothing to do with Zavvi
They just selling the WWA steelbook as exclusive in UK as a retailer
Asia/Europe steelbook from Sony is the same

Weet release only difference is the fullslip/lenti etc
Steelbook itself is WWA

Artwork updated on Zavvi

They finally updated the art. Keeping this order, love the full slip by weet but not for extra £18

It already did a few weeks ago. I'm guessing there'll be a few more cancellation copies once release day comes.....

Oh?! Serves me right for being too lazy to check on a daily basis lol.

If not, I'm sure I can pick it up on eBay sooner or later.

Unless you're buying it for the 4K, the German one will be identical and it's only €20......?

Judging by these pics from Steelbookpro the item looks reasonably decent although still mystified the art is not the other way round:-
