This has sold for like £10 for a while iirc? I like my copy but I'm not sure I'd pay retail for it..

Good business for zavvi then, I think they will gain profit cos a lot of people will buy at this price of 24,79 euro. This steelbook has been on top of my wishlist for a long time and now it seems patience has its reward, I prefer to give my money to zavvi rather than to those scalpers in the woods of ebay.

scalpers...ugggrrhhhh...:sniper:

Retail is Half the price of what it goes for sealed on eBay.

Zavvi just confirmed to me over on Twitter that this might be going live next weekend, but they will confirm first.

Did they confirm whether they would also be providing the correct replacement discs to everyone who orders this from them too?

Didn't ask mate as I think Wreck confirmed this a page or so ago that they would feature only the corrected disc

Interesting. So technically a different release as it comes with a different disc and been shrink-wrapped at the distributor for sale by Zavvi?

I'm splitting hairs, I know

 

[Wreck]

For the record it's leftover studio stock. Doubt any of this stock ever sat foot in an hmv store FYI

Alright, so those of us newer collector's will have a chance at one of these without having to empty our wallet's

Yep! especially considering there isn't that many of them on eBay anymore, although there is a few in the trades section here, but not at Zavvi's price. Got mine open but it came with a few marks, so I can now happily replace it and let my mate have the other one as he couldn't care less about the odd mark

It will be interesting to see how many are OCD since they have been repackaged and those that do it aren't known for being very careful.

i saw it often in the trade section here for less than 19£, rather would give my money to an fellow ninja as paying the same price to a company.

 

[cooey]

Be interesting to see if they include the corrected disc with this

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

I sold mine for £15 a couple of days ago. Hardly wallet splitting!

Wreck confirmed it will.

Artwork is up @ Zavvi

Oh that's interesting - so it is actually a repackage then?

Hmm

From what Wreck is saying it sounds like this is stock leftover in the warehouse all this time. So I guess the artwork on Zavvi must be an earlier mock up with extra text on it, otherwise it must be a re-release.

My money is on old stock found in warehouse

 

[8bitheart]

Actually when you look at Zavvi, there's 2 different sets of art...

 

[leeloo]

I already know the story, so please bring me the spare stock from HMV...

If that is indeed the art then I'll keep my original tagline-less grail edition
