Which bit will he sign ?

Which bit will he sign ?

Presumably he'll sign the steel or the poster. If he tried to sign my nipple I'd be a bit freaked out.

Not if you dressed as Humungus

Not in the slightest bit surprised the bbfcs are hard printed. It looks like it's been printed via elevation to me, as the rear print format mirrors studiocanal/lionsgate releases. Steel doesn't look bad in matte/zero, but the usa glossy steel and bbfc free PET is the clear winner. Poster and bonus disc are a nice touch

My copy from Amazon is delayed, a bit odd

Personally never had any problems with them. Would have preferred HMV but they were sold out

So the US has the superior version of this?

The ratings logos are normal for UK but I'm surprised they changed the overall finish on the Steelbook aswell.

Amazon have and will shadow cancel pre orders fairly often.
They over subscribe on customer order ratio to stock and then silently cancel orders whilst offering no explanation and with zero effort to offer a replacement or alternative. Told me all I needed to know. I never pre order with Amazon anymore.

Now Zavvi have been doing the same. My last two orders with them got cancelled a week after release probably for the same reason mentioned above or maybe just logistical incompetence within the business. They're crap now too.
HMV and RWaves are the only sites to pre order safely from now

Still angry that they cancelled my order for the leather bible version of The Exorcist.

Got my copy today from HMV! Don't mind a 'Zero finish' as it keeps things nice and clean (there's a cool shine effect on the eyes of the dwellers on the back too). Artwork looks so cool in hand especially the dual effect on the front. So pleased UK got this!!

The certificates would annoy me especially on such a dark and menacing design but I'd probably trade gloss for zero finish for a poster and extra disc.
