It just goes to show what they expect people will pay for JUST a Steelbook case alone. It's never about the content with Zavvi.
Us Ninjas have spoiled them for too long with all our preordering.
thing is, we WILL pay for just steelbooks alone. How many of us have bought an empty case? (even if just a best buy case)
the retailers are crafty in that, they can get us to buy the same thing twice - the steelbook with barebones disc, and the amaray with bonus disc/3d disc etc
it happened all the time with cds too, fans will always buy the cd at release, then after a few months - a special edition with bonus disc.
regards pre-ordering though, its a gamble to NOT, as you don't know what will go oop and cost over the odds.
although, barring aladdin and roger rabbit, nothing else has gone oop quicky and then risen in value quickly.
so we could all hold off and wait for a price drop.
I am tempted to cancel most of mine and wait for price drops, but looking down my list, I have most of them with discount codes anyway, so I have already bought them all for a couple of quid under listed price.
I don't mind £13ish for a back catalogue, and £15ish for a new release.
I got IM3 on a code too, so I can't complain.
I must admit, my interest in steels has diminished a little now, with so many coming out.
at first it was exciting, never knowing what would be next, but now its a little tedious, and I am only getting titles that either I really want to see, or have seen and really enjoy.
concentrating on Asian imports a little (kimchi and blufans) as they are a bit special.
