Another lazy effort again from Zavvi. Great movie but not the best looking steel for this...
 
what the heck is happening here, Dredd, Hugo and this one, all artworks appeared to be zoomed in and cropped from the mock-up, Dredd seemed to be ok from all 3 but Hugo and this one the title look to tight in the space ... whoever did the quality control should be fired...
They better not do this to Blade 2 and 3 also :(

I dont remember EIV's The Crow or The Departed etc.... having this problem?

Really ugly. I'm once again baffled by the horrible design. Zoomed and cropped artwork and the complete lack of any aesthetics with the title almost falling outside the edge.
So many releases lately are so halfassed and the lack of quality is disturbing. If this is the future for steels in general, I will lose all interest in this hobby.

They must have been looking at it and thought, "Hmmm, it's bad and everyone seems to hate it, but what can we do to really make it worse?"

"You know really made lots of people mad? The Zavvi Dredd tagline falling off the bottom of that lazy steel. Maybe we could do them one better and have the TITLE fall off the bottom!"

"You're a genius! Have a raise."

Will it really go as low as that? Mmm I am about to pull the trigger since I like the movie a lot and even now it seems that you can save about 7 euros compared to the original price.
 
Showing as sold out. I was waiting on a price drop too. I'll just wait until it comes back like so many others.
Its still available for some reason the link in the OP was to a listing that was listing sold out
I have corrected the link in the OP to the one that's working on Zavvi website

I think it will go to £9.99 the next time Zavvi discount some steelbooks, hoping there is a decent 10-20% voucher around the same time so I can get it with Gran Torino, another title I don't think is going to sellout anytime soon.

The good think about over saturating the steelbook market is it means people who genuinely want to buy them don't have to worry -

The bubble has pretty much burst in terms of pre-order sellouts for Zavvi, almost all their steelbooks come back in stock after "selling out" during the pre-order phase, and the vast majority make it to at least one sale. That is unless its a Marvel title of course.

This also doesn't apply to international (outside the UK for me) steelbook retailers, when it comes to Film Arena and the like my advice is buy asap :thumbs:
