I got this two months ago for £24 from Amazon. Don't get too exited, Zavvi aren't known to honour pricing errors.

They usually do, I've had a few with price glitches get honoured. Reservoir dogs springs to mind.
Play.com definately don't honour them (mainly due to private sellers). Been let down by a few price glitches being cancelled

Skipped on this totally. Even though I'm a SW nut I'm quite happy with my limited digibox of all 6. I'm hoping Zavvi and their bumchum Disney will do something nice down the line on separate steels maybe after the new film comes out or leading up to it. :cool:
 
Well, I've just had a cancellation for this. First time it's happened to me where they havent honoured it. Downer
 
Whilst it will likely anger me having individual steels for the new trilogy once episodes 7-9 are released, I've decided against replacing my prequel/original trilogy steels simply because I've spent SO MUCH money on Star Wars releases over the years! I've had VHS versions (still got the remasterd VHS trilogy for posterity) multiple DVD releases and now the blu-rays.

I reckon the only thing that would get me to purchase new physical copies are remastered versions of the original trilogy without Lucas' special edition (and onwards) alterations. I'm all for cleaning up the picture and fixing minor quibbles such as see-through cockpits on Hoth or janky matte outlines in the space battles, but I really don't care for the more intrusive alterations such as Darth Vader's "no" at the end of RotJ, R2's rock hiding in ANH, the replaced Ewok song, the new song in Jabba's palace, Han shooting first (the list goes on and on...). This is quite a personal thing though as I understand many are either all or nothing when it comes to Lucas' revisionism. Maybe the could release a seamless branching versions with option to choose original/remastered/special edition/whatever.

Those looking for an unofficial release of the original unaltered trilogy should check out Harmy's Despecialized Editions, they're mighty impressive.

That said I do quite like the new individual steels now the rear artwork has been released, they look pretty good.
 
I'm getting the individual OT steelbooks to house my burned Despecialized Editions, along with the bonus disc DVDs of the unaltered OT films.

I already have this OT 3 disc steelbook too. I'm going to put my 2 bonus blu rays from the 9 disc set (the OT bonus disc and the 3rd bonus disc) along with the Empire of Dreams bonus DVD from the old 4 disc DVD set.
 
Well more then happy with my Trilogy steelbooks at £40 for both was a great price instead of the new £120 for all 6 films. Plus with 6 new Star Wars films to come from December 2015 to 2020 we will likely see new 4K blu-ray steelbooks (or maybe 8K by then) released.
 
Hope you don't mind me resurrecting this thread, but if you're in the Newcastle region and you don't have either of the trilogy steelbooks and want them, quickly get yourself over to CEX store in the Metrocentre. Someone obviously sold them their steelbook collection, amongst them both trilogies in good condition.
 
Anyone who can confirm that the subtitles on these discs (and the prequel trilogy) are indeed only English, like the J-cards say?
I'm looking at the discs from the UK Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray digipak and the subtitles for each film are: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish.

The J-card for that release also says: "Subtitles: English for hearing impaired".

Fox often leaves out from the J-card extra subtitle tracks that are not obviously relevant to the country of the release, even when the discs are multi-country/multi-language discs.
