Limited Stock - Under 500 Left! From Zavvi's eMail...

 

[UpsetSmiley]

I believe them. There's no way they haven't sold 3500 copies.

 

[tokaman]

I'm tempted, but not £22 tempted.

 

[psychoscot]

Well it's not a Zavvi exclusive as other countries have the same steel so can't see Zavvi having mountains of them like I personally think they sometimes do, but I can see this selling out eventually as it was a very popular film and the steelbook has been advertised all over the place.

Glad I got my order in at the original price

 

[Mrhoyt]

ordered twice and cancelled twice, its just to expensive.

 

[Four Seasons]

I have gotten so used to picking up Zavvi steels for 4.99-9.99 over the past few months that the asking price for this seems expensive, as Mrhoyt points out, especially for a film that I have yet to see. Funny really four or five months ago I would not have balked at paying 21.99

 

[Narg]

Just received my copy doesn't look too bad

 

[Kizza]

Not too shabby

 

[bradipolpo]

I see the FSK logo on the disc, but can you confirm EU languages (except the french)?
Thanks a lot

 

[Man on 1Wire x 6 3]

Really pleased I got this for £11.99

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Looks good, still not keen on the black spine though. The art should have carried over.

Anyway. Hoping for a price drop. £22 for a single disc 2D movie is a bit steep.

 

[MrBMT]

Huh, wasn't expecting it to have arrived with anyone already. Guess I'll walk past work on my way to grab some lunch to see if my copy has arrived yet or not too.
Picked up mine for £19.79 due to a discount code at some point - as I don't (by choice) have any credit cards, I obviously was not able to do the MasterPass offer.

Been looking forward to this ever since I first saw it announced as a Steelbook, really enjoyed the film at the Cinema and can't wait to see it again now - so I could care less if it turns out to be one of the Steelbooks that drops in price over time. Having said that, if they really do only have 500 left as they say, if it does drop in price I don't see it being a big drop.

Thanks for the pics all.

Looks like a great steel (spine aside) inside art is great... Wish I liked the film so I could justify buying it lol

its daylight robbery. but as long as there are collectors willing to pay the price, they will keep offering it at that price.

i think £22 is the collectors price. they are counting on steelbook collectors having tunnel vision and just rushing to buy it.

when they have sold all they can with added collectors tax, they then reduce it to a price which the average consumer will find reasonable. £8-12.

when they can no longer sell at that price, they offer it for peanuts to entice those who dont actually want it at all, but will buy simply because its dirt cheap. £4-6

i think that is zavvi's pricing strategy lol

@Kizza and everyone else you bought this, did you get an extra UV copy for the pilot episode of a TV show called 'Defiance'?
I got one of them as well as the UV code for Lucy, but just wanted to know if it were a type of advertising or I just got something extra...

Yep i did bud.

 

[Noodles]

This turned out really nice IMO. I don't display my steels open, so the spine isn't an issue for me... plus the spine is the only thing visible when it's on the shelf, so it'd look quite odd with just the middle part of a nose on there. Managed to get mine for the cheaper price too, so I'm really happy with it overall.

 

[MrBMT]

Very happy with the Steelbook, just picked it up from work and no scratches/dents thank goodness.
Looks great, I like the metallic symbols effect. Now to watch the film again

Thanks a lot

is this worth buying ?

If you want my opinion on it then I'd say, NO! This was quite possibly one of the WORST films I've ever seen. I really did not like it one bit...

This definitely seems to be a love/hate kind of film. Personally, I thought it was excellent.
