I was talking about Amazon. The price is 33.97 for the Trilogy. Zavvi has it even higher. They actually have the regular blu-ray trilogies at a higher price than the Steelbook. So, it's even a better deal if you want to go by Zavvi prices of the regular release.
Again, let me reiterate, I'm not saying that I like the price at 40, I'm just saying it's not out of line with the previous releases. Goodness knows I'd rather pay less.

Maybe after helping them with their packaging, Wreck can help Zavvi with their prices 
sorry but some of their prices are almost as comical as HMV's instore pricing
Im a big Star Wars fan and over the years have bought the trilogy many times, but I just dont know if I could stump up £40 each for them, £30 maybe I could be tempted (Id rather they were £25), but when Im patiently waiting for the saga set to come down to a price - its one of those sets that just refuses to budge.. Im not sure I could justify forking out £80 for 2 steelbooks, even more so when the nerd in me will want both, knowing full well Im unlikely to ever watch the prequels more than once...if at all...

I'm not comparing. I'm looking at these steelbooks as they are. 3 discs in one steelbook for 40 pounds. That's how I see it and I think it's a bit too much.
If you want to compare, sure. There are no extra discs and they are re-using the movie discs. They've already been out on the market for a long time now, I don't understand the high prices of trilogy boxes on Amazon/Zavvi when other trilogies, anthologies and complete boxes were and are much cheaper on Amazon. It's Star Wars.. I guess.

I know and I agree with you. Hopefully they'll go down in price or Amazon will have a cheaper PO price.

They can't get the prices right all of the time and has already been stated multiple times the price will probably fall once the other retailers have listings up. I think £40 is about what I expected, Star Wars releases are never cheap.
I don't think the price is too high with ~40. That's just a bit more than what you would pay here in Germany for the Blu-Ray trilogy. Whatever, I won't buy it on Blu-Ray until they release the original trilogy and not that stupid "remastered" version. What will probably never happen.
Not crazy about the artwork, would prefer individual steelbooks with the original movie poster artwork.
Not sure about using original poster artwork, but I'm pretty sure that sometime in the future Fox will do single releases. When you think of how many times the Original Trilogy have been released on home video formats they'd be mad not to wring even more money out of the fans.
I think these are pretty poor. Were there really no better images available? The back looks like it was done by a child.
I watched the original version of Episode 4 yesterday, for the first time in over 15 years on Laserdisc. Still my preferred version. As fun as the Special Edition was I don't see why both versions couldn't exist side by side. It never did Aliens or CE3k any damage.
I don't see why they couldn't include the bonus discs in this set as an incentive for people who bought the trilogy sets to double dip. At least I might have bought the set when it drops in price.
Yep, £30 is fine, happy with that.
I also noticed that CEX will give me £33 cash for my Star Wars box set, so I'm gonna do that, it's paid for one that way.

That's more like it. Nice, sensible price which I have no problem at all paying. Zavvi can do one.
They can't be serious with that? Otherwise we'll be buying loads of copies of the Steelbooks and then taking them to CEX for a £3 profit each time. Get enough copies and you get the Steelbooks for free. I can see it now, no one has any left in stock, but CEX has loads and they don't even sell it.

I think he means the standard Blu-ray boxset

I know, but if they don't state that, then the Steelbook maybe classed as a Star Wars boxset, certainly by the hopeless staff at CEX.
Cancelled the Zavvi order & pre ordered from Sainsbury's, unless Amazon come with a better deal. I think I'm gonna have to sell the Blu-ray box set to help pay for these.
Is anyone else having problems with the Sainsburys website at checkout? I've order three items and two have gone through, but then refused my card for the third item. I tried a different card and the same problem. I'll try again later. I guess they didn't like my Tesco credit card.
