Certainly doesn't sound like it's worth the £30 people want off Ebay for it!!!

I can't believe the mark up these guys want; you got it for £18, surely a £5 profit would be reasonable - this world is so full of greed

Prices will drop rapidly it even came back into stock @ Zavvi yesterday give it a few weeks the market will be flooded with cheap copies its only just worth £10!

 

[JayWhit]

If you take into account shipping, ebay fees and pay pal fees then there is not that much profit from £30

The prices I saw were £30 + postage and I know the fees are high, but I doubt they are anywhere near £12

cheers to the ninja's who posted pics! no more anticipation now for the next 3-4 weeks waiting for the zavvi snail mail to arrive with this meh it gets here when it gets here its still ok but damn what could have been...

Does anyone know if the non-US theatrical versions of the film has always had O'Neill's "he's full of ****" line? I noticed it's in both versions on the blu-ray. The US theatrical version had "it's your call" instead.

I can see what Basil was on about now that i have mine at last.

I find it surprisingly pleasant in hand - the reflective sheen on the glow parts is quite nice. I'm also a sucker for Remastered films on bluray. I wlda been MORE than happy paying £10 4 this... hell maybe even the normal £15.

Such a shame zavvi had to go with that "ultra limited" nonsense instead :movie:

Does anyone know if there is a clearing day for this? Like when cancelled orders go back into stock?

It was yesterday. Went live again about 3:30pm GMT yesterday.
I suppose there is always the odd copy that may become available again if there were any problem payments during yesterdays sales... but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Cheers, looks like I'll have to start contributing a bit more, rather than just reading

Anyway back on subject, what's the opinion on this version against the Canadian one?

I'll chime in, as I have the Canadian (and the Best Buy).

I don't have the UK version in hand, but I think I already prefer the finish, the back art and the colors on the North American one. What the UK edition has on it is inside art... both NA releases are bare inside.

If you're in the market for a NA one, go for the bby edition if you can score it. The steel itself is the same, but the Canadian release still contains the older, faulty encode which had playback problems when seamless branching was implemented.

Taking a nice beating at the bay as it is selling for around 20 + postage which is still a loss for the sellers after ebay and paypal fees.

NA version has inferior front art, and absolutely nothing on the inside. But it IS glossy.

However, i think this zavvi one custom glossed like what lgans has been doing here is the best option.

Zavvi version + gloss = hands down best Stargate steelbook IMO

 

[JayWhit]

Cheers for the info guys, who thought buying steelbook would get this tricky

 

[howiesteed]

I like it and watching the film now I forgot how much I like it nothing a coat wouldn't hurt on the steel though

 

[SteelbookGuy]

This looks rather disappointing imo.

 

[blu-steel]

The last two sold on ebay went for $49 each. Hardly a loss.
