Woah

Got that for £18 too using the code. Much better than Amazon

Both for £36 as apposed to £55 from Amazon

@Sigill @Noodles @cooey

Cheers dude! Cancelled at Amazon and ordered from Zavvi.

The transfer on this is the same as the Scream Factory edition (which I already have) right?

 

[Sigill]

Thanks for the tag @Flloydo! That price is much better but I am worried about Zavvi's packaging. It's pretty certain to be sent in a Jiffy bag. I think I will try at Amazon and hope the price comes down before pre-order!

@zavvi

Please pass on the feedback to make sure the thing limited edition box set is not sent out in a Jiffy bag like you did with Donnie darko

These need to be sent out in boxes with padding materials

I panicked slightly when I saw the announcement as Arrows site was down. Glad to have got an order from Zavvi has the £20 price Pont is much more agreeable that what amazon had listed.

Nope. Brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative under the supervision of John Carpenter and Dean Cundey

Disappointed it's not going to be a decked out 3+ disc fatbox with lots of extras like Donnie Darko etc but can't complain about the artwork at least. Can see both this and the steel (even at 4000 copies) selling out. Been waiting for this announcement and got my order in on both this and the steel. Can't wait!

Just received Pulse in the mail today too from Arrow.

I feel the same way as well. I held off the Shout edition thinking that Arrow would be the definitive edition but looking at the specs now, I'm going to have to pick up the Shout edition for the exclusive extras (including the TV cut)

No doubt though the Arrow exclusive 4K remastering and two feature length documentaries will be worth parting my wallet with but I really didn't want to buy both.

My only concern with Zavvi is how they'll ship the limited edition being as it is a slipbox. Bubble mailer arriving with crushed corners???

I ordered two - so they HAVE to send it in a proper box.

Zavvi send orders separately
If you order 2 or more they get sent separate
They don't send in one parcel

 

[paulboland]

Ordered the steel for now but need to know the difference just incase
