Looper (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Former HMV Exclusive) [United Kingdom]

[thedefector]

Word of caution from an UK HDN Member about HMV (thanks VRob98)

People should just be aware of 2 things:

1) If you receive a damaged or faulty copy from now on, you will not receive a replacement or refund

2) If they charge your card and are then unable to fulfil your order, you will not be refunded.

The way a company operates whilst under administration is quite different to how it operates normally, and certain consumer rights are suspended. If anything goes wrong you would have to apply to the administrator or claim against your credit card issuer.

I'd encourage everyone who has orders in with HMV to consider the above, as I'd hate to see anyone here lose their money in all of this.

Available to pre-order right now.
Release date: January 28, 2013
Purchase Link: Amazon.co.uk
Note: No inside art (see post #443)

Excellent news!

I predicted the death of HMV last year. I was right.

But HMV didn't die last year, they died this year

Last year was the end of the world.

This year is just the end of the United Kingdom retailing world.

I predicted the death of HMV last year. I was right.

People predicted the death of HMV years ago. I'm willing to bet it can't be killed.

But HMV didn't die last year, they died this year

I believe it was 4 months ago when I made the prediction. I never said it would happen the day I posted it.

I never dreamed that Play and HMV closing shop all in the same month.

Amazon does it again!!!

 

[mllNY]

ordered from amazon almost same price for me minus VAT and combined with the warner classics wave so shipping will be saved. but with the HMV site down I can't cancel my order gonna call my cc company tonight

Have you gone to their website lately?

I don't reckon anyone wanted that prediction to come true, especially so close to another retailer

Now Amazon are just a beast with no competition. I predict that is a bad thing

 

[DK06CTR]

I'm hoping the stores stay open long enough to pick this up in store, if they do get it at all.

This year is just the end of the United Kingdom retailing world.

Perhaps the government should mint a trillion pound coin and ignore the £200m HMV owe them?

 

[surfury]

yeah they cant charge if they have no intention of supplying. that is theft, and illegal.
if the site is down, and stays down, then they won't charge.
2013 - 13 =unlucky
play.com =1
hmv=2
so 18 more places to close?
the high street can die now for me, i have pretty much no cause to visit town now.
and with little to spend my wages on, what point is there to go to work.

Totally agree. Shouldn't the highlighted bit read "with little wages to spend".

Personally not sure we'll get anymore HMV exclusives. They are all generic covers (I think) which could be added as a second run once new slip printed. Crying shame.

£20.99 @ Amazon? Is it not enough that Amazon have killed off their competitors that they're taking the f**king piss with prices? I'm guessing this is going to happen from now on.

They can f**k off.

Asian steelbooks will be cheaper to import at this rate.

 

[hayemaker]

Remember also this has no inside artwork and is not worth £21 of anybody's money.

It's a £16 steel tops.

 

[funkydamo]

well, i decided to pre-order.
but for that price im gonna inspect ot veeeery closely. anything other than 100% mint and i will asking for a replacement.
i think for £20.99 we are perfectyly entitled to expect absolutely no dings, scratches, paint issues etc.

edit- did you say no inside artwork!!!!!! think i might cancel and wait for the bargain bin in that case.
steelbook with no inside art = £15 max value for me. cheap swines. so hmv were gonna screw us over anyway.

 

[surfury]

I think play's cheap prices spoiled us. Don't forget most were around the £17.99 mark previously. Having said that it's a rip-off price.

 

[Scarface]

the normal blu ray edition is £17 and hmv were selling this for £18 so it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise that this is over £18 at amazon its only a few quid extra for a nicer edition even without the inside art, we should just be happy we can even get this.

 

[mllNY]

I dunno from hmv I was going to be charged 22.50 GBP after shipping since these release the same day as the warner classic wave this is working out to 19 GBP afte you factor in the shipping when I added it to my amazon order. Sorry but no complaints here, on top of the fact that amazon usually starts higher and can lower prices. They only added the listing today

 

[nkb32]

Is this truly confirmed to not have inside art? Everything surfacing about this release is making highly regret not getting the FS version.

 

[lgans316]

Drive had no inside artwork too but look at the current going rate

 

[VRob98]

i think for £20.99 we are perfectyly entitled to expect absolutely no dings, scratches, paint issues etc.

Yes, and the good thing with amazon at least is that their returns and exchanges policy will guarantee that. It's one area where they are really pretty good.

 

[lgans316]

I don't like Amazon's packaging as it is a bit tricky to reuse and it costs more to ship overseas due to its base weight.

 

[Chandler_90]

I've ordered at Amazon just incase.
Can always cancel.

I ordered instore.. Think I might pop in tomorrow for a chat about existing preorders.

Wonder what they will be doing with existing stock?
