I'm keeping my Zavvi order
I also have other choices ordered including the Best Buy version

This is a release that has many versions available as a Blu-ray release If you don't like this european no title on the steelbook you still have choices of other wonderful releases be it the Best Buy Steelbook or the different Slipcover Blu-ray releases

Disney will sell on DVD/Blu-ray a huge amount of units all over the world and I expect it will most likely be the biggest Blu-ray release for sales to date.
Disney with advance orders they are getting from retailers across the world I would estimate as the biggest ever for a release

You can just vote with your wallet if you don't want this steelbook but I bet most will still get one of the other versions available
As in how many of you will not get any version on Blu-ray I don't expect many will not be getting any version if you a fan of Star Wars

I estimate 6 Months later and possibly earlier you see the 3D release and that will most likely have a steelbook release that might be worldwide artwork release again but different to this one or have exclusive WEA releases with select retailers

Just get the version you want and like and if you must wait for a 3D Steelbook it will happen eventually


Even when the next steelbook is announced later this year or next year and has a title on the spine and front and new artwork you will still get some complaining they don't like it especially in a Zavvi thread

Curious....Zavvi have added a pic on their website listing showing the inside and clearly 3 discs...I know it's not going to be the 3D disc, and I suspect it's a DVD (it has the DVD logo on it), it's the same pic they sent out in their email about Last Action Hero's 200 remaining alert.

Yet according to a post in the other forum (BD) zavvi confirmed it's 2 discs ?!

The image of the inside CLEARLY shows 3 disc holders.

Come on Zavvi, get your specs right in your listing, and confirm whether its 2 or 3 discs and what they are...

They probably just lifted the stock photo from the Best Buy site! Lazy!

It did cross my mind, but the discs have UK ratings logos on them....so unlikely in this case.

Would be awesome if Zavvi had the exclusivity for the 3D disc!!!!

Looks like they're adding the DVD though.

Good news if it really has the 3disc steelbook case, just throw/give/sell the dvd, and replace with the 3d blu ray when possible. Dah dah; problem solved, everyone happy, can sleep tonight, lol. No need for the UN to get involved now.

 

[Starling]

I'm sure that with so many in the dark about what's going on that they'll shed some light on it soon enough.

 

[Kizza]

I see what you did there @Starling

Or in my case, keep the DVD as I still have use for them and not have to worry about buying it separately and fitting it into the steelbook.

I'll still be surprised if TFA has a DVD included as not a single Disney steelbook has had one so far AFAIK.

Can't believe the release for this is almost here... feels like it was a year ago since I saw it in the cinema. I honestly think I'm more excited about rewatching it, because now I truly know how awesome the film really is!

I queried this with Zavvi, and this is the response I have received:

"I can confirm that all images of our products are for illustration purposes only, and as stated in the product details this product comes with only two discs.

With regards to the title on the product I can confirm that on the front of the product the title is on this, and the rest of the photos are of the back of the product itself as shown in the images."

Make of that what you will!

Wow. Just wow. So incredibly clueless. How can these people actually be employed as customer support??
