Finally despatched. I'll see what it looks like in hand. I do really Like the artwork personally but some picture I've seen look quite dark.

Lol. Hope that's not the case. Don't really mind it not being delivered on release date as long as its in mint condition. Received steelbook today and it's Zavvi's new super slim packaging...no protection at all.

[taher]

Finally my order got dispatched!!

 

[bigducknfish]

about half the people spell dispatched despatched, and curiously about half the time I do to

 

[Jnavotheman]

I wonder if this price will ever drop to a respectable level, might just get the amaray instead

 

[Wootball]

about half the people spell dispatched despatched, and curiously about half the time I do to

It can be spelled both ways.

 

[OviDK]

I can't believe there are 121 pages about this steelbook!

 

[thesource7]

i just pre-ordered.
hope it gets dispatched soon.

 

[brandon93]

Glad I cancelled this and went with the Italian 3D Version.

It can be spelled both ways.

Indeed it can, according to the following reference:

There is no difference between dispatch and despatch. The latter is an alternative spelling that was common in the 19th century and earlier, but dispatch has gained undisputed dominance in modern English. Despatch has mostly disappeared from the language—except in the U.K., where it appears in place of dispatch about a third of the time—and dispatch is the preferred spelling for all senses of the word.

The main exception is in the phrase despatch box, which refers to the lectern in the British House of Commons and the Australian House of Representatives. This use is the main contributor to the relative frequency of despatch in the U.K.

Zavvi use both spellings in the same e-mail - they title it "Order Despatched", then in the e-mail itself they state: "Your order from zavvi has been dispatched and will be with you shortly!"

So it doesn't really matter which spelling people use - unlike the different meanings for there, their and they're, which lots of people seem to get mixed up these days!
