Great, will lesson the impact of the other dozen or so pre orders this summer!!
December is a placeholder. Amazon does it. Currently listed as Dec 31st.
I'm sure the new stock will be sooner.
I'm sure the new stock will be sooner.
UK release date is TBC due to manufacturing issues of the UK and EU release made in Europe.
Ignore release date listed as December 31 and also ignore amazon UK estimated January 2025 delivery date.
December 31 that is just a standard placeholder date that Amazon UK and Zavvi often use when they don't have the actual date.
Retailers Amazon UK/Zavvi/HMV will update listings with actual release date when Sony UK distributor Elevation Sales provide details.
UK and EU releases of the SteelBook is still happening Sony just had to change the release date due scanavo having to make new SteelBooks but that date is not known yet.
Someone said the german distributor reported their steels arrived damaged, so I'd assume that applies to the UK stock too. Bit of a coincidence for it not to be given the timing.
All I know is what was already mentioned by the distributor some quality control failures.
As to exactly what was the quality control issues I don't know.
It has so far affected both Sony releases of Taxi Driver and Captain Phillips SteelBook releases been delayed.
I expect we will see a update soon in regards UK release date.
EU releases just had an update for their release dates
Italy September 4
Germany September 5

Europe release been delayed was due to SteelBooks stock been damaged affected both Sony Taxi Driver and Captain Phillips UK/EU SteelBook releases.
It’s unknown at the moment if Sony UK/EU discs of Taxi Driver will have duplicate scene error fixed.
It’s only been confirmed so far the USA/Canada release has that error fixed.
The USA/Canada release was only delayed by 1 week and was not due to the issue of damaged SteelBooks that affected the Europe release.
Some customers based Canada already got delivery of the Canada SteelBook release and confirmed the duplicate scene error was fixed on both UHD and Blu-ray Discs.
Has that been confirmed though?
I'm still thinking the delay for Taxi Driver specifically across Europe is due to the same reason as the US release ie the duplicate scene error
Yes. A german retailer confirmed it was the reason for their delay, then the rest of Europe's scheduled release dates changed right after. That's about as confirmed as you'll get.
You would hope so.. who knows though, sony us and uk operate completely independently. Look at the mess with that stand by me steelbook release.
HMV have listed the release date September 2
