Got in this time, cheers for the heads up, can cancel my Amazon now!!!

Anyone who wants this should wait. Will be cheaper once a premium comes along and the masses flood eBay with their copies.

It could also go the same way as Sinners...

So was this Zavvi's midnight announcement? dear lord fml

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

Yeah seems to be coming back intermittently at HMV, I managed to put an order in about an hour ago. Was the only one available at the time

Equally true. I really wish some people would stop with the fomo buying though. It makes things worse in the long run as studios just stop trying with their releases knowing the sheep will buy anyway.

It’s not really fomo if you like the film and the artwork displayed though is it. This package has been very well received and everyone loves the film, so…..

That feels like a fairly pessimistic outlook, the film was popular, well liked and just generally seen in a good light, isn't it only natural it should sell well and even if it's not to everyone's tastes they didn't have to release a CE version, they could have just put out a lazy basic steel and it would have still sold.

Flipping this around, what would you have preferred instead?

Wonder what the second 4k disc contains.
A Directors Cut maybe unannounced?
A feature length making of Documentary?

Yeah I think this was inevitable given how well this was received resulting in a far longer theatrical run than most expected, including IMAX. I know a few/lot of us here have expressed some issues with the design but I think most of us weren't going to pass it up unless it was something horrific like overblown AI art. I've come around to the design a lot.

I've also of late noticed people in some corners that generally don't seem that interested in steelbooks or special releases looking into them. I think bit by bit people are realising there is a difference between streaming quality vs blu-ray/4K. I've also noticed lately that a very popular Twitter/Bluesky account that generally posted any and every gaming discount based in NA has been posting about steelbook releases.
