Reason why I created this USA thread

Even though it's a Zavvi Exclusive

USA and UK steelbooks they are separate releases


Zavvi USA sells the USA steelbook not the UK steelbook

This is why the Zavvi USA URL number is different to Zavvi UK listing

USA steelbook does not have BBFC age rating logo on the steelbook or discs or Jcard


In regards to Arrow Video UK and Arrow Video USA releases
The UK and USA releases they are always separate releases even when a release is a Zavvi Exclusive in both UK and USA
It will be Zavvi USA Exclusive and Zavvi UK Exclusive when it's a release in both countries


When Arrow Video do a UK and USA release
Zavvi USA website only sells the USA release not the UK release

Arrow Video UK Releases
Zavvi UK and the other Zavvi international websites sell the UK releases and these Zavvi websites don't sell Arrow Video USA releases


There will be some Arrow Video steelbook and Amaray releases that will be UK only or USA only or a release in both countries
Even when it's a Arrow Video release in both Countries they are still separate releases
