Wow, Zavvi should really indicate on the product page if this is the case because I don't see that listed anywhere? Does makes sense though considering the new cut hasn't gone through the bbfc yet with release less than a month away.
That does make it seem much pricier since it's just the 4K disc without the new extras, but I was admittedly tempted to import the US release anyways to see the new cut so... can't complain?
Scream Factory releases are USA/Canada only
Zavvi UK been selling lots of USA imports in past few months some get removed after a few weeks and some remain
They don't list is a USA import nor do they list will ship from USA
The 4K UHD disc will be region free but the Blu-ray disc will be Region A locked as usual with scream factory releases
Scream Factory not announced the extras yet that will be in the next few weeks
Zavvi UK is meant to clearly list in product description it's a USA import and the seller is Zavvi USA and will be shipped by Zavvi USA from USA as in not shipped from UK to get around UK 1984 Video Recording Act
This is not getting a UK release at the moment
Amazon UK will have this listed also but they don't go live to order until after release date in USA and when live on Amazon UK will clearly be listed as USA Import with seller listed as Amazon
US and Shipped by Amazon
US
As in an order will be shipped from USA by Amazon USA and
will be UK delivery address only in regards to Amazon USA Global Shop listings on Amazon UK
The listing on Amazon UK will be Amazon USA Global Shop
Price on Amazon UK when live will likely also be less than what it would cost to pre order from Amazon USA website it will include UK Vat and free shipping and price will be in UK pounds
When USA release date arrives and intock with Amazon USA UK customers cant order from Amazon USA Website they have to use Amazon USA Global Shop on Amazon UK Website instead
It's illegal for a UK retailer to sell and
ship from UK DVD/Blu-ray/UHD releases not BBFC certified
To get around the 1984 Act a UK retailer must clearly list a USA DVD/Blu-ray/UHD release is a USA import and order will not be shipped from UK in product listing
