Don't actually own Top Gun at all, so I'll grab a copy of this for sure.

Looks nice love the film but have the original play steelbook.

If this is the same as recent US one which it looks like the disc seems to be the same, nothing added other than different steelbook from original.

It's OK criticising them for not been as good as the Asian retailers, bit this will be less than half the price. Silly really.

Will it??

I be surprised if this is £24.99. I feel under £20. With discount code might budge as I don't have this. Sold my Play.com one for silly money ages ago.

Snow White & the Huntsman was 19€, I'm expecting this to cost just about the same.

Snow White and the Huntsman was £15.99.

This looks interesting, but it would've been much more so if the outer slipbox had different artwork. But Zavvi are venturing into new territory so this gets a thumbs up from me.

Lots of thought went into the Full Slip.

LOL Zavvi going crazy with the slip boxes now.
Here's the conversation at Zavvi after the Snow white and the huntsman released:
"Hey we just added a paper box to the steel thingy and people are willing to pay higher prices!"
"Sweet, let's add paper boxes to all of our steelbooks!"
"What should we put on the boxes?"
"Hmm, I don't know, why don't we put the same thing as the steelbooks?"
"You're a thinker!"

Thanks for the laugh.

Film Arena did the same thing just last year, every retailer has to start somewhere.

Except Zavvi is not "starting". They've been in the exclusive game for years. They've already made a name for themselves. They (should) know their industry (customers and competitors).
And FYI, although FA existed since 2009 and were selling Blurays, they didnt get into the exclusive game until last year. (Not an excuse for crappy releases, IMO)

Still, I'll give Zavvi a chance to prove themselves. But, i will not be buying this.

Zavvi is a retailer. They don't make steelbooks. They sell them.

Will it include 3D + 2D version? I like the steel and slipcase.

 

[denizen]

Still have the DVD myself., Might order it. Nice slipcase.

I think Zavvi are reluctant to go the FAC route as they may have to charge higher postage for non-UK countries only for them to be ridiculed for discrimination.
Maybe they can go the FAC route, charge UK / EU customers less. Cue on the hate comments.

i prefer the play.com steel which is a real stunner.

I hope the age logo is removable.

I pay basically $2.00 for steelbooks shipped from Zavvi UK to the U.S. I don't feel discriminated against.

Same here. Cheapest/fastest shipping across the pond.
