What is this going for right now since its sold out? Looking to get one since I missed out on this.

Go to ebay my friend. I also missed it but won it on aunction on ebay for 21.50 including shipping

So seeing as its an exact copy of the Play.com Steel, the black version seems to be more rare. I don't like the white version either so win for me.

Got my copy the other day, Thankfully no issues.

Also got the cancellation mail on a second order, not pleased about how Zavvi make the cancellation sound as if it was requested.

i dont think so, u can get the black version in nearly every german store who sell blu-rays.

Not an exact copy, there are some differences which have been pointed out by a few already. Albeit it fairly small differences but they are different nonetheless

Black one is an exact copy (shared the same print run) as the Amazon.de version, was a higher run in uk, and is still available to order from both retailers so technically the white version(s) is / are rarer

Personally, there is too much face going on with the black version for me but I'll wait to see it in hand before dismissing it

I just got my cancelation e-mail from Zavvi as expected. Again they oversold it when it came live again.
Even i was quick with placing my order after it was annouced live for order again

Zavvi sent me only 1 and I had pre-ordered mine in February.
Zavvi can sometimes take the right mick

Thanks for the info guys, looking forward to seeing the black version in person.

I am still awaiting my two copies that were dispatched on the 8th, I'm starting to get worried now as I've never had a preorder not show up by now.

I'll be very annoyed along with my friend who the other copy was for if they don't show up.

It will definitely turn up, had a steelie ordered not so long ago and it arrived on the 3rd week

Has anyone got a reply from Zavvi CS why their order got cancel ?
I've leaved query questions with them and had yet receive a reply, just wonder if anyone got a sensible reply.

- Play.com one has 3 discs Vs 1 disc Zavvi's one
- Slight difference in blu-banner/logo size
- Play.com LE one has stickers on the front

Check here for side-by-side picture comparison of the two

Arrived today, luckily mint as I only ordered one. So far zavvi's packaging is top notch.

My Zavvi copy doesn't look like that - mine looks identical in every way and the finish is the same.

Here is my Zavvi. Compare it to your Play.

The 'blu' band on the Zavvi release (yours included) looks slightly deeper than the Play release - very subtle difference, but quite apparent IMHO

That may be the case, but not all of the Zavvi steels are the same. The picture shown in the post I quoted looks different in a lot more places.

got mine today !!! awesome looking steel in hands

located in the states so well see alot more member in north america receive them soon

 

[Wootball]

My Play.com version.

The colours seem different but that's because of the angle it's at - the blue is identical, shade for shade.
