Agreed, the ordered/cancelled posts should just be deleted.

Cancelled is refreshing compared to other comments like is it regionfree, shipped, i got it today etc..

 

[AgentMcQueen]

What's with the trend of every person who cancels feeling the need to comment that they have in fact canceled? Is this in attempt to put a dampener on something exciting for everyone else? Well done, you've canceled, congratulations if that's what you're looking for. I can understand the occasional comment expressing disappointment due to new artwork or a better release etc resulting in a cancelation but why do we need tens of one word responses to say you've canceled? I just don't get it.

Keeping mine on order. Would rather pay an extra few quid to get the steelbook over the amaray, especially since Disney steels are usually of the highest quality.

I'm still absolutely baffled at why there is no confirmation on the rest of the artwork.

love it

Are you sure the release date is pushed forward?

The estimated dispatch date on Zavvi is 16 September, not 12 August?

I've cancelled purely because I like to watch my steelbook movies. I could we me getting it. Thinking it looks awesome but never actually watching the film again even though it was a classic an its a film from my childhood. I could just never see me setting aside 2 hours as an adult to watch it. Aladdin really punctuated this theory. It still sits there in its packaging and I can't see any occasion where I'll bust it open and watch it.

That's fair enough but to be honest that's the soul reason I want to buy it. I've already watched aladdin twice and this is one of my favourites. Nat's photos have made me so excited for this release that its actually stupid. Like I said before I would've been purchasing the amaray for this film and I just hope this looks as good as nemo and aladdin. Maybe when some of you who have cancelled see in hand photos you might change your mind. This will probably be my favourite release this year.

I hope as many as possible keep cancelling their orders so Zavvi can keep a big stock pile of these on the shelfs. This will be under cost at E-bay. Will prob be the most flooded steel in history.

less than 1k left.

I remeber this day, when Zavvi sent the E-mail..

Now less then 10K

I hope the same for this and little mermaid, so they learn their mistakes from it and go back to aladdin and nemo and roger rabbit methods.

Just fyi, I picked up the standard UK amaray version this morning and disc is region 'B' & 'C' locked so since we can assume the disc in the steelbook is identical, the Zavvi steelbook disc won't play on region 'A' US bluray players. I double checked the disc in my Sony US player and definitely won't play.

Thanks for the FYI

I feel more "I have cancelled" posts coming along

 

[blurayisnice]

Yeah, I canceled my order as well. 22 GBP is too much for a steelbook which has been (apparently) over-produced. They should have sticked with 4 or 5K. And I don't agree, I think Iron Man 3 will be the most flooded steelbook in history .

 

[henry00x]

yea was just coming here to report same that Jungle Book amaray UK is region B/C locked, so i expect a lot more US buyers to cancel for the price zavvi is asking, i wonder if Little Mermaid will be B/C locked as well

 

[Strikeman]

With all the leftover stock and cancellations do you reckon this could be on eBay for less than the list price? Moneys a bit tight at the mo for steelbooks and was trying to weigh up buying one from Zavvi or taking my chances on eBay for cheaper
