Apologies, folks, eating my words as I write this.

Just spotted this listing at HMV Online and ordered for GBP 19.99 which just seems too good to pass up (I've noticed Amazon price tracks HMV on certain items and it's not impossible that Amazon will follow suit though somehow I doubt it).

Fingers crossed the price is not a mistake.

Thanks @virkia! Hopefully Amazon follow suit and drop their price too! I would order with HMV but I use Paypal so it's money upfront. Amazon would be better.

Why not just set up the same payment option you have with Amazon (a card I take it) with HMV then?

Looking forward to this, good artwork hope the steelbook gets a good finnish too, video quality will be vastly improved, new content/features.

The HMV price at the moment is a very good deal, considering it has a Blu-ray and 4k UHD disc, the 4k Amaray is the same price currently, I won't be upgrading to 4k a while though.

Always worries me, as HMV has it listed as 1 disc???? Is this why it's cheaper? Don't know who to order from now!

I should do, I just haven't got round to it. I've only used HMV on an odd occasion since they came back on line so I have just been using Paypal.

It will definatly be 2 discs, all 4K UHD discs come with the Blu-ray. It will just be an error in the listing.

Amazon Italy has this as one disc as well, also cheaper(I think it's €22.99) than amazon uk's listing

According to Zavvi

. . . with HMV's steelbook listing now disappeared and replaced with this:-
http://store.hmv.com/film-tv/4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray/labyrinth
Type in LABYRINTH STEELBOOK in the HMV search bar = no result.
No LABYRINTH STEELBOOK amongst the 76 or so steelbooks in the HMV steelbook section

A STEELBOOK is still listed in my Orders for the 24th July but I still think I'd better drop them a line to find out what on earth is going on as don't want to receive a non-steelbook edition.

In summary: haven't contacted them yet for clarification but I've a sinking feeling that I'll not be able to pick up this 4KUHD steelbook for 20 quid after all and that it was wrongly listed as a steelbook which is not to say that HMV will not be stocking it but that when they do I've a sneaking suspicion that it will be priced at the Amazon level of a penny shy of 30 quid . . .

I noticed there is two listings on Amazon now. One for the regular 4K Amaray and another for the Steelbook. Maybe HMV need to add another listing for the Steelbook?

 

[virkia]

Surely they will . . . but @GBP 29.99.
GUTTED!

"Ref: HQ-53251
Thank you for your email.
I was sorry to hear of the confusion caused by an amended stock photograph for the new release of The Labyrinth, this was due to a website error which has now been resolved.
I can confirm that, this item was originally advertised incorrectly, however, having spoken to the Visual sales department, he has informed me that, we will honour this transaction and you will receive the steelbook version of the film on, or shortly after the release date.
Thank you for getting in touch and apologies for any confusion once again.
Kind regards

That's great news. Do you think that will apply to everyone who ordered it or just those that email them before release?

 

[virkia]

Should be for everyone but best to remind them of the issue before release date and of the original listing for the steelbook . . . in other words, remind them that you ordered a 4KUHD steelbook for GBP 19.99 and NOT a 4KUHD black Amaray.

Details of the steelbook now showing and it really looks quite nice and white as hoped for.
Not sure about the Matte finish for this but I suppose they know what they are doing . . .

I contacted hmv through their site and they got back to me very quickly with a similar reply to yours, saying that 'of course' they would honour the price and send me the steelbook.

Thanks.

I would have liked this but not long got the mondo one not double dipping

If you like extras the Labyrinth: 30th Anniversary Edition has some decent new extras not in the previous Blu-ray that was in the Mondo X steelbook and also even more important a new 4K Restoration

You can order the UK Digibook Labyrinth: 30th Anniversary Edition on Amazon it's a decent price £10.99 if you want to get just the new restored Blu-ray

Thanks that's kind of you to take the time to tell me but no must not double dip

 

[DonnaB]

Too bad the finish is matte, meesa lika glossy white steels. But hey, could look great with the right paint job (like Sherlock).

 

[Sigill]

I'm gonna pass and go with the Digibook. I don't think this is going to look good with a Matte finish.

 

[IRON MAN]

These colors, this artwork was begging for gloss. Wasted opportunity.
