Former Play Exclusive Universal Horizontal SteelBooks at other retailers

[digitalbabe]

FYI & thanks Pieter V for reporting.

Available now at other retailers who can shift any stock likely due to Play's transition.

Amazon UK

Sainsbury's

And possibly others....

found a copy of the bourne collection at sainsbury,s for 15.99 - bargain considering play traders were selling for 26.00 and up.

Amazon is killing everyone

 

[digitalbabe]

More than likely the studios need some place to go with the stock, given Play's current transition....they simply went with the most stable retailer at the moment, I guess.

Sainsburys Entertainment already have the Universal Horizontal wave for sale

The biggest bargain is the Bourne Trilogy for £15.99 as reported earlier by Starling in the Steelbook Price Drop thread

we can only assume that the rest of the play exclusives will go to amazon soon as well.

 

[humperklonk]

its what they will charge that worries me ????

What's Sainsburys packing like for Steelbooks?

What's Sainsburys packing like for Steelbooks?

From previous orders it'll be cardboard envelopes like those Amazon and others use

 

[digitalbabe]

Sainsbury's added to OP-thanks.

 

[blumaster]

awesome. definitely going to pick-up Shaun of the Dead & Kick Ass, maybe The Thing, too.

 

[cityguyste]

do you think that this stock has been bought by other retailers due to play.com going in to administration??

stupid question.haha

 

[93Cobra]

Its a shame Sainsbury's doesn't deliver to the US
I really want Shaun of the Dead and The Thing!!!

stupid question.haha

Didn't someone say that the exclusivity period for Play.com had run out anyway on the Universal wave?

Re prints of ironman will be next

 

[digitalbabe]

Karl, lets hope not, but this has nothing to do with reprinting. Play as we know it is going away, and the studios need to find other ways to move stock.

 

[ALK]

I suppose if Amazon does well in shifting the stock, maybe they'll consider producing/selling their own exclusive steelbooks?

Long shot, but you never know.

I just hope that amazon gets more and has fair pricing fingers crossed.

I am curious to see that as well. I'm guessing there will be a mark up on play's prices.
