My local store have just phoned me to let me know my replacement disc is behind the counter ready for me to go and pick up.

So its available in the store now thanks mate

 

[sgray9806]

No worries, pain for me as i won't be able to pick it up until Friday but good to know the disc is there ready and waiting for me.

 

[Sigill]

Good to know the replacement discs are there, hopefully the Steelbooks will be back in stock too.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I guess it was wishful thinking that it would be discontinued.

It would have been my first valuable steelbook! Oh well.

i would say it depends on who resealed them, if its hmv who resealed them then your original sealed copy should be more rarer.

Not online I am afraid, I live in Madrid, it is a pity I can not get one.

Been into local HMV here in Truro, Cornwall where I am for just 2 more days. They had Steelbook back on display, but NOT shrink wrapped just a clear thick poly bag with tag & tape. Strange as when I called in other day they said stock hadn't reached them before recall and they hadn't heard what policy was to be.

 

[Sigill]

Thanks Surf, I wonder whether that was just existing stock which they have added the replacement discs too themselves. If they come back in stock sealed like that it's a poor show.

 

[surfury]

Thanks Surf, I wonder whether they aren't going to re-seal them then after all. That's not great if that's the case.

Yes it is if you already have sealed ones Guess why there are 5 smilies ?

Yes it is! I'm glad I got my copy before all this!

 

[jimmy]

Yes it is! I'm glad I got my copy before all this!

The steelz are still sealed they are giving the replacement disk separately with the steel.

 

[zoneism]

5 smilies and a drool over here!!



Perhaps we need a rocking horse poo smilie too!

 

[Scottyrnumber]

they must of had problem with there amaray blu rays as well

Have you seen that in store jimmy or is that just online?

I called the store. He said they took all steelz and put them in the back and waited for the replacement disks.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I called it! It goes to show how desperate they are to keep costs down.

 

[Sigill]

I called the store. He said they took all steelz and put them in the back and waited for the replacement disks.

Thanks jimmy, if thats true then I can't believe they are just going to hand out a replacement disc with every copy they sell. That's a poor effort from HMV.

 

[snooloui]

Anyone who paid the extortionate eBay prices in the short time this one was unavailable will be gutted. Glad to see this will be available again as it is a very nice Steelbook. I just really want to receive the replacement disc as I really want to watch it.

 

[Konflick]

Ive been in the store just few mins ago and still not available

Received mine from HMV in perfect conditions even with their poor postal packaging... Thanks Mr Postman to not be brutal when you see HMV written on the parcel
