What in the name of a baboons ball bag are Zavvi thinking, £23 for a non 3D SteelBook?
Never seen either of these movies, and at that price never will.

 

[Simoney Burns]

and a great price IMO well done Zavvi.

hahahahahah nope not in the slightest is it a great price, especially when amazon have it with 3d for £18.50.

And a horrible price IMO

This is looking awesome, the artwork on this is great, good choice Zavvi. Defo ate buy for me will get some copies for family it looks soooo good. Loving the art and a great price IMO well done Zavvi.

If your happy with the release,fair enough.But i'm curious,what would be a bad price then?

After iron man 3 this is 'despicable price 2'

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Same here.I was all set to get this one but no way i'm paying that.
Artwork is nice though.

I was going to order this, i was thinking £14.99 as its not 3D, no interest at all at £20+

Totally agree with you. Looks like Zavvi are seeing how far they can raise the prices before too many people get annoyed. Well congratulations Zavvi, that point has been reached

A pity as I really like the artwork

I think that dude works for zavvi as every comment he writes about zavvi is gushing with joy & excitement

just seen avatar don't feed the troll people

In Poland that is normal price for a movie in an amaray - for a steelbook if its release its about 25-30.

 

[Lonewolf]

This steelbook looks really nice. But I don't think it's gonna come with 3D.

 

[kingkarl1967]

Who actually dictates if the steelbook comes with 3D ?

Look at Amazon , Play & HMV all there steelbooks had the 3D disc included in the new releases .... Life of Pi , Wolverine , Prometheus , Hobbit extended etc etc ... so why is it just Zavvi that are bending us over a barrel with the new releases ?

Even Amazon Germany are looking after us with their releases as well ... Pacific Rim , Despicable Me 2 !

Is this really just Zavvi screwing us over by making the decision ?

 

[spookz]

My arguement totally, Kingkarl1967. I think it's to make us buy both. All new releases that have been in cinema in 3d, like the ones you have mentioned above, are having 3d disc included.....apart from......... Zavvi! I've ordered this from Amazon.de, as they have the 3d disc included.

 

[Scrubbedup]

Its 30euro on Amazon.De for the 3d, so it seems quite a fair price maybe from Zavvi, plus the artwork is better IMO, and its English title.

 

[spookz]

£25.00 converted to GBP, so an extra £3.00 for the 3d disc..... no brainer

I'm pretty sure that it is the studio and not the retailer who decides on content. It's not as if Zavvi have started a trend of excluding extras and 3D discs, that was well established before Zavvi started releasing Steelbooks.

Its 30euro on Amazon.De for the 3d, so it seems quite a fair price maybe from Zavvi, plus the artwork is better IMO, and its English title.

I think UK collectors have been spoilt in regards to pricing. Amazon.de and Amazon.fr regularly price their respective releases at above the price Zavvi are charging (just take a look at the prices of Man of Steel, The Hangover 3, Kick-Ass 2, Monsters University etc. in Germany). It's just that we are used to paying less than £20 for a Steelbook. That doesn't make it right though, so I won't pre-order this unless the price drops which is very doubtful. If it sells out, then so be it.
