Yep, that's the way to go with HMV title's, lost money on Maze Runner SC, Straight Outta Compton, Fantastic Four etc, I lost about £30 on those three titles alone by pre - ordering them, been collecting since the very beginning so I should know better, I know. As for Creed, I don't see this being amazing in hand and it's going to at least end up in a 2 for £25 offer within a month/6weeks.
What's happening with the snails at Zavvi are they not working this weekend ? .... this is out tomorrow and no movement on orders !
Cancel in morning and get it from HMV if no action by 8am.

CREED . . What's in a name?
- Baby boy's name now hardly in use meaning BELIEF or GUIDING PRINCIPLE - Anglo-Saxon English, based on the Latin "Credo" and pronounced KREED.
- Found in S. Ireland as the reduced form of CREEDON and elsewhere from the old English name CREODA as well as from the place CREED in Cornwall named after the patron saint *St.Crede (In early times people were known only by a single name but as the population grew and spread further afield it became increasingly necessary to assume an additional name to differentiate between other owners of the name and thus hereditary surnames came about and local surnames derived from where the original bearer lived, was born or held land). In England the surname Creed was first found in Cornwall where the family held a seat in ancient times (or from before the Norman Conquest in the mid 1060's).
- Many spellings of the name include Alan Crede 1273 Suffolk, John Creyde 1327 Somerset, Anthony Creede 1577 London.
- Creeds emigrated from Britain in the 17th - 19th Cent. to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.S. to name but a few territories.
- Not featured in the list of the top 100 baby names since 1910 . . . maybe will feature in the 2017 list thanks to this film and future Creed films.
- Popularity of the name Creed for boys: First year in the top 1,000 = 1884 with the last year in the top 1,000 = 1910 with best rank #713 in 1884 - or 65 babies per million - and featured nine times in 127 years.
- Rare now as a first name but in the top 4% of last names in the year 2000.
- Famous Creeds - Creed Bratton (actor), Creed the rock band and Creed toiletries in the U.S.
*St.Crede or Creda was a 7th Cent female saint from Ireland.
Yes, I know . . .
Anyway, after that brief divert which went down like a lead balloon (LOL)
, back on track to the steelbook - as ordinary looking as they come but probably the most disappointing thing about it is the lack of 4K content when it is available, and released around the same time, as it is in this case.
IMO Would have been a perfect opportunity to cement the premium edition tag to the steelbook and justify the slightly higher price of a 2-disc edition - 1 x 4K BD + 1 x 2D BD.
A few recent steelbook releases would have benefitted from the inclusion of 4K discs and even though not many of us may have 4K TVs at present, steelbooks with 4K discs would have improved their saleability and futureproofed them.
Recent steelbooks released, or due to be released shortly, without 4K content when it is available include the following:- HITMAN: AGENT 47 (HMV excl.), DEADPOOL (Zavvi excl.), CREED, THE REVENANT (HMV), HANCOCK (Zavvi), CONCUSSION, GRIMSBY (HMV), MAZE RUNNER 2: THE SCORCH TRIALS (HMV), THE LEGO MOVIE HMV), THE 5TH WAVE . . .
Not attaching any blame to the retailers . . . as the decision to omit 4K discs from steelbooks is probably the brainchild of those same plon**** in the studios who omit 3D discs from most steelbooks when that option is available in the hope that we'll double-dip on the same title . . .

Zavvi back as Pre Order with a release date 18th May
Earlier showing Sold Out was because the previous release date was 16th and no stock on the system
They updated the release date and made live again to pre order after this change of release date
Sold Out on Website will happen if the release date arrives and no stock available on their system when the release date on the website is that date
They then update the release date and after this make it available again to pre order
Sometimes it's not updated to pre order again until the next day but other times it's done within a short period after they change the release date

Looks like its about to start shipping or else Zavvi have changed their cancellation policy. Just tried to cancel & order through HMV but I got a cancellation failure from them.
That's possible with a release date as 18th
When they charge your debit card you can't cancel an order
If you used visa debit card it will show up as a pending transaction in your bank account
Managed to cancel my Zavvi order about 1-20pm this afternoon and ordered with HMV!!!
Not sure what's happening with Zavvi at the moment....Zavvi exclusive then HMV get copies...makes me think Zavvi weren't selling these!!!
I think Zavvi need to re-evaluate their steelbook pricing policy.....they flooded the market with cheap looking steelbooks of titles not many people were interested in and i think it might be starting to bite them back!!!!!!

In-Store From HMV Today..
£18.99
It probably was originally meant to be an Zavvi exclusive and this got changed at the last moment for whatever reasons
Sometimes when this happens retailers can have different release dates due to different delivery times
Amazon could change the date again if the distributor gives them a new delivery date
