Fast & Furious 7 (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter digitalbabe
- Start date
The Zavvi listing never stated it was a Zavvi exclusive only a 'UK exclusive' (whatever that actually means). It doesn't matter anyway though since Xtra-vision is an Irish company and Ireland is not part of the UK.
After ordering this steelbook from Xtra-Vision, I then received a cancellation email from them a couple of days later. Now today I've just received another email from them confirming my order?!?
I'm very confused!

Same here. I queried the cancellation as I got charged for it straight away even though its a pre-order. Had no reply but the thank you for your order emails just came through. Not sure what they're at!
It looks like this will be available at HMV after all:

So despite the previous 6 all getting matching steelbooks recently all over the world, only MediaMarkt gets a matching part 7.
Seriously?
Seriously?
what a failI like how they used the matching art for the other steels as the back art for this, just to rub it in.
Cancelling my pre-order on Zavvi now that the artwork is confirmed. How very disappointing!
I'm just happy Best Buy Canada continued with the look. Was worried there for a moment myself that they wouldn't follow through with what Future Shop started

Is the Zavvi version different? If so, then they would have a UK exclusive.
If not, then it's an error on their part. Possibly it was going to be a Zavvi exclusive, but Universal changed their mind, or, Zavvi assumed that they would be the exclusive retailer for the UK steelbook as they had been for the [matching set] of 1-6 which isn't unreasonable I suppose.
In answer to the rest of your question, almost all steelbooks released in the UK are available elsewhere in the world, albeit with different J-cards. Even the recent Fast & Furious movies and Jurassic Park releases. Zavvi were the exclusive UK retailer of them, as were other retailers in their respective countries.

i believe that the only FF7 SteelBook that matches the other 6 is from Germany, and it's already sold out.
(no disc inside, just empty SteelBook)
Got my copy from a friendly ninja on here a while back
i knew zavvi wouldnt match the set.
Am I correct in thinking that the UK release of Furious 7 is basically going to be the placeholder artwork as we've already seen and NOT anything like the German Media Markt version which carried through with the matching designs of the F&F 1-6 ???
Personally, I was looking forward to completing the set with matching designs as with the Germany Media Markt version (with the empty case). Slightly disappointed if it's going to be as shown on Zavvi's listing as it's not exactly similar or consistent with the previous 6
EDIT: just viewed another FF7 thread which has just confirmed my doubts and the UK release of Furious 7 will not match with the previous releases of 1-6
