Hope we hear confirmation on this soon and if so also the artwork cus i dont want to commit to the FS GB and then have the UK pull the same artwork out of the bag (cant see that happening as UK is StudioCanal and CA is Sony but i suppose its possible :p )...

Listing completley pulled off of play, not showing in the search, and when i go into my orders its status is still pre-order but when i click the link it says oops something went wrong... :dunno:
 
bum, i was waiting for the Amazon pre order to go live now i can order it from anywhere. Wonder whats happening with this. Really enjoyed the movie at the cinema
 
Strange... I put my e-mail up to receive a notification to when the steelbook edition was available to pre-order on amazon uk.

Today I receive their e-mail, but it was for the normal edition... strange.
 
When I contacted Sainsburys the other day to inquire if this had been cancelled or if they'd purely sold out of pre-order stock I was assured it was the latter? She said they won't get any more stock in so it's a trip to HMV on release day for me in the hopes they get stock as with Django (fingers crossed)
 
I send a mail to amazon uk for more information about this steelbook.
Here's what they wrote back:

Hello xxxx,

Thank you for the earlier email regarding the Blu-Ray you ordered, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by this order.

I understand that you wanted to know if the item has been cancelled, I have checked on the website and it seems that this item has been removed.

The item you have mentioned - "Evil Dead Steelbook" – is currently out of stock and I can’t guarantee if it will be sold again by us. Because of this, the item is currently listed as out of stock.

Occasionally, our supply of popular items is limited and some products sell out quickly.

Perhaps you could check our website from time to time to see if this item has come back in stock or if it is available from a third-party Seller through Amazon.co.uk Marketplace.

I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.



Warmest regards,
David M

So not looking that good..
 
I find it strange that all retailers "sold out" at pretty much around the exact same time. There's obviously something more going on if you ask me.
 
Its been delayed I think. Email I got from Sainsburys on the 23rd:
