Wow, that's interesting. I had waited and waited on this one and finally got it over the holidays.

Guess I'm glad I didn't wait too long. :eek:

Let's not forget that Play has the magic phoenix wand to bring anything back in stock.

I would suspect that this is sold out, considering it's been available for a while - unlike a new release like BR or Iron Man or whatever, since they turn those off early to avoid overselling.

I'll check with our sources and post back when I hear an answer.

 

[Wreck]

Play.com has gotten back to us and has confirmed that it is not sold out ... I saw evidence first hand proving its 4k order and there seems to be about 890 left but Play is awaiting stock. Studio holds onto stock then sends more as it sells. Obviously not the case if something sells out at pre-order though. Just depends on how fast a title sells whether they want to get all 4k initially and store in their warehouse.

Thanks wreck....informative as ever. Very much appreciated.

 

[townterrier]

Yes, thanks Wreck....was gonna gamble on Ebay, but will await stock from Play.....Cheers!:bow:

 

[The Jericho]

I ordered mine already but I hope this will have a low price too

 

[Wootball]

Slashed spine - oh sod off with this stupid, stupid problem!!!

Slashed spine - oh sod off with this stupid, stupid problem!!!

Just to clarify, i am not chuckling at your predicament, more so the tone of the post!!!

 

[Wootball]

It's a massive pain in the arse every time this happens - this is about the 6th or 7th time I've had to go through this crap with Play. I know it's not them doing it, but it IS them selling it!

 

[VRob98]

I know it's not them doing it, but it IS them selling it!

It is them doing it actually.

I used to manage a warehouse where we sold blu rays and dvds so I know exactly how it happens. The product arrives from the distributor/studio in long boxes of either 25 or 50, all stacked with their spines facing upward. All it takes is some careless numpty with a Stanley knife slitting open the box and presto - 50 scored and slashed spines. Retailers need to relay these complaints down to warehouse managers and then it wouldn't happen.

That would make sense if the slash went through the shrink wrap - but it doesn't.

 

[VRob98]

Oh ok, never seen one like that. Every time I've received a scored spine it's been through the wrap too. Can't explain that one then...

 

[townterrier]

Wish these would come back in stock at Play. Watching a few at Ebay, but not keen on the rising prices!

Are these coming back in stock at Play? Or should I start to source this steelbook elsewhere? Your help Wreck would be appreciated.....
