Hopefully this one won't sell out fast, giving Zavvi time to give us finish details in order to secure a few more sales!

How come this is so expensive compared to the other releases. Does it include a 3D?

If this would come with a statuette based on Scarlett's body (like that Dead Island Riptide LE, but with less blood maybe) I would buy this immediately

Have I stumbled onto the FHM forums or something? Christ.

I'm sure Zavvi would like to sell it at £19.99. They'd sell more easily after all. But it could actually be that the studio are responsible for the high price by asking a high figure for UK exclusive rights. For all we know, Zavvi are only making their usual % mark up.

Under The Skin wasn't exactly a box office smash, so it needs to recoup plenty of $$s through home video rights.

Don't be silly Zavvi are responsible for everything. I'm sure their product buyer thinks 'forget selecting great titles and giving them Steelbooks with great artwork and lovely finishing for reasonable prices. Instead we will release any film the studio will allow us to, use the cheapest artwork and finish available and charge a fortune for them'. It's definitely not a case of studios using Steelbooks as a cheap way to boost sales of poor earners if that's what anyone was thinking.

Not for me, too expensive - I hope this isn't a sign of Zavvi thinks to come ....

the steelbook edition comes with a £10 collectors tax

i want to see this but im not blind buying it for that price, from viewing the trailer it looks like a one watch movie, and i dont even think the picture would justify me buying blu ray (as alot of hand held camera) i could live with a dvd copy of this movie

 

[Norwichlad]

Zavvi are such a joke company. This is £19.99 at the Hut (who Zavvi are part of) but it's apparently sold out

It's amaray for me then, too risky and expensive to blind buy :/

 

[Deleted member 9789]

Is the release date correct? Amazon have the DVD/Amaray down for 14th July. I know September is what's on Zavvi...

Only preordered one to sell on this release. Minute chance we'll see it go for a bunch on ebay because of nude scarlett in this one. If it doesn't I'll cancel

I am going to wait got the DE release.

£24.99? No thanks. Not for a blind buy.

please. a lot of people here do that. they just dont come out and say it.

 

[Thisisnotsparta]

I think I'll pass. Not really fussed about the artwork, and I've never seen this so a cheaper amaray copy would make more sense for me.

 

[ghost1]

Yes it looks like that's the way it's gonna go, lower print runs and higher prices then when it becomes a sought after steel re-release it again. I wonder how many steelbooks that were exclusives have been re-released now.

I know. They tend to go for the 'I order 2 so I've more chance of getting a mint one then I'll trade (which appears to be the legal way to say scalp) the other one'

Looks like Zavvi is down.
