Zavvi have this listed as an exclusive. It looks like they're getting a bit carried away with this 'ultra limited' thing:

Yeah it really doesn't mean anything. It could be super limited or mega limited but something is either limited edition of not. There aren't degrees to this.

Showing as unavailable on Amazon now... maybe it is going to turn zavvi exclusive?

Has this been and gone? If says sold out

This mean our Amazon orders will be cancelled? Kinda sucks as Zavvi are usually overpriced and don't do price drops.

But... but... how can this be!? We've all ordered from Amazon already!


Also, upside-down spine! I sincerely hope that this error gets fixed before release!

Wondering if the Zavvi release will be different from Amazon or if this is just an error on Zavvi's part...

Has this been live on Zavvi yet?

This is a Zavvi Exclusive - Those who have ordered through Amazon will not receive it. Happened a few times before when a exclusive has made it's way on to a general release schedule and been sent out to multiple retailers

Pretty sure Zavvi list it as an "exclusive" because theirs is the only version to include the soundtrack as a bonus... others (Amazon) will just include the film, no?

Correct. I would imagine it being so, anyway.

No there isn't 'mate'. My point was it had changed to unavailable on Amazon... I know zavvi had labelled as exclusive but I meant fully exclusive not a soundtrack version

That would be pretty poor. Unless the Zavvi version was more expensive in which case Zavvi can suck it and Amazon would get my order (better customer service in general). I'd love the soundtrack, but no way am I paying £20+ for it from them.

I have a feeling our Amazon pre-orders will be cancelled and the listing pulled, then Zavvi will get the exclusive and the lowest it'll drop to is £17.99 (maybe). That's my hunch. A shame because Amazon are very strong with price-drops of late (all the Eureka and BFI titles I've pre-ordered have dropped considerably since ordering).

I'm pretty sure that Zavvi did something similar with Fast & Furious 6, where their exclusive version had a few art cards added in order to make it "exclusive". I would guess that they're pulling the same stunt again by adding a soundtrack so that they can claim it's "exclusive"

It would be pretty ****** of Amazon to cancel our orders forcing us to pay the higher price for Zavvi's version!

The spine is going upwards like the last Robocop steelbook. Interesting, will this become more common now?

Bloody hope not!

Yeah. New trend. They've decided to do them all this way around now.

 

[snooloui]

It looks like it could be a new trend. Any title that is also released in France will have the upside down spine. I hope that doesn't turn out to be the case

Many retailers do it though, not just Zavvi... I even recall some British supermarkets like Asda and Sainbury's giving away an extra bonus disc with certain releases and calling it an "exclusive", which they are to be fair, as they're the only ones selling it with the bonus material.

This one reminds me of the Amazon.fr Drive steelbooks though... they had two versions that were exactly the same apart from the fact one had a bonus disc containing a few Kavinsky tracks, and it became quite sought after at one point.

It's better than Walmart's practice of adding a Vudu digital copy (despite the availability of an iTunes or UV copy already included) and calling it an "exclusive".
