War of the Worlds (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter paulboland
- Start date
So I take it those of us with the embossed steel from years ago are skipping this?
The back is different and the inlay is in colour but I don't think it warrants a repurchase, just wait for the standard release to drop in price and add it to the existing Steel
I've done that exact thing. I love the old release of this. I managed to get the 4k disc with one of these 3 for £30 offers a while back and I just swapped the discs. It is a beautiful embossed and glossy steelbook (which I doubt this will be).
Yeah I'm waiting on the 3 for £30 to pop up again.
Did it with my Bad Boys I & II & Spider-Man Trilogy that I have the all the SM & TASM Steelbook Lenticulars, got TASM too but miss out on the TASM2 because that had to find these days for a reasonable price
same with ID4
Unless the Steelbook is better, I just get the UHD Disc for my existing Steelbook
Nope. At around 12:30 Live Chat advised me that they were aiming to have it sorted "within the next hour".
Then at around 3pm on their Twitter feed, Jade from Customer Services advised that "We aim to have this issue fixed with the next hour or so! Thank you for your patience".
I wouldn't hold your breath, if I were you...
OK - I've just received an email advising me. So perhaps it will go live for everyone at 6pm UK time this evening. So basically a day late (and not "within the next hour or so" as their so-called Customer Services team advised yesterday! lol).
1 disc again. Terrible art so glad I bought the standard version now with two discs. The 4K disc is very good for anyone who’s interested tho.
Got my order in just now on my lunch break. Previously only had this on DVD and heard good things about the 4k transfer so very much looking forward to watching it again in UHD
Hmm - title says
War of The Worlds - Zavvi Exclusive 4K Ultra HD Steelbook (Includes Blu-ray)
It's not unknown for Zavvi (or other retailers, for that matter) to quote the wrong number of discs in their listings.
Just a heads up for people who want both discs To check up first. Like west world season 3 says plus blu ray on box and doesn’t come with blu ray unlike US release.
It's 2 discs same as the 4K Amaray release
4K UHD and Blu-ray
The description on Zavvi website says includes Blu-ray
The jcard of the steelbook iteslf shows 4K ULtra HD + Blu-ray

Don't go number of discs listed in product details on Zavvi/Amazom/HMV etc etc as sometimes these will list number of discs as 1 even if the actual release can be 2/3/4 etc discs
The description of the Onward Steelbook said it included the Bonus Disc, as did the j-card, but it didn't. So I wouldn't necessarily rely on those sources either!!
4K release is 2 discs
