As has been said, I'll get it for the completist in me but not until the price drops, a lot.

Doesn't look like this will be a Zavvi exclusive, so chances are it'll turn up on Amazon soon enough.
If the price is reasonable, I might pick it up to replace my French steelbook (with forced subs ).

The Play.com release is just classy without much action in the cover, also matching very good with the steel of part 2. This re-release is a good chance to get one into your collection and on the first look i like it, but i prefer my play release

Zavvi's mystery code works on this.

It's a gorgeous steel but even £26.99 isn't enough for me to bite

 

[Aw 83]

Yes im in for this I have the first release and this will sit perfectly next to it on my shelf, but I will wait for a price drop first thanks for the info...

This one is overly priced just because it's a popular movie, the 3d steelbooks are priced less too, looks like a guide price Zavvi decided to just leave and see if they could sell it.
Hope it stays in stock, I'm interested in this, looks better than the existing one in terms of artwork but definitely a bad price.

Doesn't even look like Neeson on the front cover haha

Shame that this will still be the cut release on the BD but it's obvious they are just getting this released ready for the third movie

I thought the original blu ray release was the extended harder edition, that's what it says on my BD slipcover version. Are the steelbooks different?

The UK Blu ray released was Extended Harder Cut so I would expect this to be the same Disc

I got the Play.com version and was pleased that it used the amaray cover. But I love the colour and vibrancy of this one. If it ends up being gloss too then it will be great. Oh plus the fact that my Play.com steelbook has rusted, I would prefer to upgrade!

 

[tommyh84]

I wonder why this is happening but this is bound to have embossing which matches part two so I'll probably be suckered in

Cheers dude[emoji6]

Did they fixed the subtitle error on the UK disc? You had to manually turn them on whenever their was foreign languages being spoken

 

[JackRegan]

Who's that on the front cover? Doesn't look like Liam Neeson at all.

Looks like a hybrid of Clive Owen and Gerard Butler?????

I had a very similar thought running through my head - Looks like someone blacked his eye as well - whoever he is!!

IF it goes half price and IF it ends up looking like Yer' Mon then I'll likely bite.

Nice front artwork, but do we really need a re-release of this one...

When you drop in price, I Will find you and I WILL buy you.

 

[yardman]

and being its a re-release aswell,
they defo testing new ground here dont be sucked in..

 

[justhedudeman]

Ugh the pricing comments don't stop.

Good one. Lol.Above post should be stickied on many threads. [emoji1]

The price is outrageous, far more than it's worth.

While I prefer the design over the Play version, and it matches Taken 2 better, it's not worth anything like that kind of money. It doesn't even have the DVD included like the original release (yes, I like a DVD in my steelbooks) and at 3 times the price...

I'll hold out for a serious price drop. At £12 I'll bite, but not a penny more.
