As I said earlier it is due to cramming of more audio/subtitle streams which would violate the bit rate specs. US release only had 3 audio/subtitle streams so there was more space available to feature lossless track.

Since the last few weeks, the new type of 'foam' they use is more like the thickness of toilet paper.

lesson to be learned there, i guess.............

Mine is preparing to ship from amazon. Fortunately I chose prime so will get it on Monday morning. US amaray incoming as well so can take in that awesome score in Dolby TrueHD 5.1

I've just got this, it came in one piece but I've noticed Zavvi's packaging is getting worse!!! They're now shipping SBs out in a thin cardboard box and foam which is so flimsy it wouldn't even pass as toilet paper.

Aforementioned the new packaging is designed to fit Large Letter as new rule says the package must slide in the scale without getting stuck. which is almost impossible with the thicker foam.

This means Zavvi are saving at least 1.50 per package. However this doesn't do any good w.r to overseas shipping. If Zavvi wants to save on postage they should start charging correct price for overseas customers instead of us paying the subsidy.

Zavvi save £1.50 and then have to handle **** loads of damaged returns seems a good money saving opportunity to me ... even Dragon's Den would be impressed with that idea

The colours on it are lovely! Kinda regret cancelling it now I just hope there's a price drop in the future

Even if price doesnt drop i think it will be available on ebay at below retail soon and probably some people on here will have copies to trade maybe.
