Up for pre-order at Zavvi, £19.95, not too bad but hopefully Amazon can knock that down a couple of quid.

Tom Cruise and sci fi action just meshes well together. Blind buy for me.

Amazon currently show the standard blu ray priced at £24.99. which is bound to come down in price at some point, but I'm not expecting this to be a cheap steel.

Ordered from Zavvi, Amazon takes too long these days an now that Zavvi has improved their packaging it is really a no brainer as I am racking up points with all the recent Steels I have bought through them.

I've got a Zavvi referrer's code if anyone would like to use it, think you might get some kind of discount: ZV15837282

It's a 5% discount off your first order so hopefully will help somebody

Preordered from Zavvi but hoping for a cheaper price popping up at some point, and yeah, what on earth is "Frame Packaging"?

I'd bet that's just what they say generally as that's the region for the UK, whereas Amazon might actually check the region code for the particular disc. If it's listed elsewhere as region free, then it probably is. Might be best waiting for confirmation though.

yea I hear you...I dont want to risk it...Ill buy a cheap steel that Im wanting to get ...like troy as amazon list it at region free...

I was emailing Zavvi about the region coding and provided a link to troy from amazon.uk and they still say there is region B ...but ill risk $15 shipped to the US to see if thats true

More than likely they'll just say region B to cover their backs because they haven't actually checked the product in question. I'd be quite confident but as you say do a test buy with something cheaper.

Don't trust retailer websites to provide accurate information on region coding. As it is Universal, it is pretty much guaranteed to be region free

[humperklonk]

[JHBlockbusterUK]

OP updated with links to zavvi and sainsbury's. Amazon still sign up to be notified

Will buy when the price drops below 13 after looking at the pricing trend of Battleship, Ted, Bourne Legacy etc.

Zavvi canceled. That's my last 3 steelbooks sourced from Sainsbury's. Their pricing is hard to resist.

Their packaging is top notch aswell.

Have sainsburys changed their packaging? Last time I ordered and it arrived in a cardboard mailer but it was a few months ago. If they have I will have to start ordering from them on a few steels

Nah, my copy of Django arrived the other day in a cardboard mailer, still no damage though!

there will be no difference between the steelbooks, whether you order from zavvi, amazon, or sainsbury's. this is a general release and all UK retailers will get the same steel.

and anyways, the region code listing on any retailer's website tells us virtually nothing these days.
