What a badly designed steelbook, it almost deserves to end up in a bargain bin, 3 for £20 HMV offer.

If you were shopping for this film in store on release day, you'd probably pick up the amaray instead.

Despite the face that this would have looked better if it was full fitting, i still very much like this steel book and i look forward to picking it up on monday

I don't think I'll be making it into the shops today, any Irish members know if HMV have this one in store this morning??

Yup, there is indeed. Rang and reserved a copy yesterday evening at the Dundrum branch.
The staff member told me that they only got 2 copies in total!! Not sure about any of the other branches but if you're near the one in Dundrum there is definitely one copy left out on the shelves (as I type this).
The great news however is that unlike majority of their other steels that are ridiculously overpriced this is a fairly decent €22.99 (which ain't bad for a new release)

Thanks for that, might check Xtra-vision later

Here are some quick pics of mine. Us Irish members only got extremely limited stock over here. I noticed nobody uploaded any pics of the inside so here ya go.

looks ok to me

Hmmm, how come Ireland are getting it today? You guys got a different release date to us or have you just been allowed to take it home early?

 

[Flloydo]

Has it got the extra bonus features included in the disk?
Looks like the uk got shafted to me. Not happy if the extra content is not on the disk

 

[lgans316]

Yeah disappointed by the lack of bonus disc. Thought it will have one like the first release. This means I am keeping my Amazon.de pre order in tact.

 

[thewoe]

So no 3D disc, and now no Bonus features? wtf?

 

[kevindublin]

I might call into Liffey Valley later to pick one up

Yeah, the UK (and Ireland) has got royally shafted this time round

 

[Flloydo]

Think I'm going to cancel my order. Not happy about this. Well done HMV!!!
Or if someone can confirm that all bonus content is on the one disc then I can live with that.

Not sure why, but I ain't complaining A HMV staff member simply told me that new releases due out on Monday get released on Friday.
When I worked in retail years ago in a similar environment we had strict rules about breaking release dates. We had to keep an eye on local competitors and if they broke the release date early we tended to follow suit.

Thankfully there are special features on the single disc. Directors commentary, 13 deleted scenes, 100 minute making of, and a music video. I seriously wouldn't be bummed out too much by the lack of the bonus disc. As someone mentioned in another thread it's solely a few more deleted scenes and it's only on a DVD too. yes the lack of 3D sucks but I ain't paying premium price to get the Korean or Indian copies to be honest.

Cheers, I didn't realise the bonus disk was DVD. I'm interested to see what the extra deleted scenes are tho.

The bonus disc is only a DVD in the Indian release. In the German, French and Dutch releases, the bonus disc is a Blu-ray. I've posted on the subject of the extras in the thread for the German release.

Just read your posts in the German thread. So we still don't know what the bonus disk holds on the German release. Wish they would announce these things earlier on.

In Ireland Friday is the day we get new releases. The following Monday then is the date for the UK
