U ain't alone on that. I like them too, my Indiana Jones steely or the lord of the rings theatrical trilogy are some of my favorite steels of my collection.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Just because the movie was extended it doesn't mean they had to also extend the steelbook's size.

Going to shop around and wait on this one until I can find the right version to fit my collection.

Wow, £18! :eek: To confirm, is this the 3D extended edition steelbook?

Indeed it is.

If people are cancelling their orders, what are they going to get instead?

The amaray version which in my opinion has much better artwork

looks like HMV is coming in strong for the holiday season with its prices. That's good!

can 5 discs fit in a standard sized steelbook?

 

[lgans316]

It can but will be an extremely tight squeeze and not recommended.

Is the 2D version included?

 

[Ataneruo]

The Zavvi page offering this release has what appears to be a regular size steelbook case in the posted artwork, while still offering 5 discs. Is this a typical Zavvi mistake, or is Zavvi offering a different steelbook?

It wlll just be an error with the pic buddy

Whatever the steel is released as, they will all be the same... With TDK/BB jumbo steel, the image was a normal steel but it was released as a jumbo, so i would say retailers are prone to doing this

[Flloydo]

Cancelled my amazon order and pre orderd this in HMV today for £17.99. Can't beat that

When will our secret contacts at Zavvi release actual pictures? If this turns out to be a new *5 disc* G2 non-jumbo steelbook, people might riot in the streets.

Received the Future Shop edition. Although the J-card clearly mentions "This pack also includes a 2D version playable on your standard Blu-ray player." There is no 2D version included. I've tested all discs.

No, it's this, see link. It is a Jumbo Steelbook.
