Me too, I don't get why it would even come near a discussion about ugly steels. It's a classy rework of the original one-sheet, with great inside art and a tastefully matched disc. Nothing even remotely ugly about it.

It's mainly the back I have a problem with. The front cover is fine, the inside is fine. but why this **** brown solid back? They could've done something with it:

I'm pretty happy with this it's not as bad as some members are suggesting. There's no border which is fine by me and makes a change from the bombardment of borders of late. No title work emboss etc is also refreshing. Overall though it does still look and feel cheap so although not a total write off it's getting 4/10 from me.

Got mine today. Pretty half-assed job on this one Zavvi. C-

Edit: Just noticed the front artwork is even off freakin' center and pushed to the left. BOO. This steelbook really blows. Zavvi failed us this time.

Mines dispatched

If the back art was on the front I would consider buying this. As is the front art is awful imo.

Ha! What is the point of pre-ordering? Honestly.

 

[snooloui]

Currently £6.99 at Zavvi BUT if you order with three copies of Die Hard 4.0 and discount code ZJAN5, you'll get it for £5.03. Then simply cancel the pre-orders as soon as your order is accepted

£6.99 (€8.75)

I paid full price when I had this as a pre-order €17.25

Great for anyone who has not got this yet its a bargain Price
Fantastic Film very funny lots of hilarious sarcasm

Zavvi sale prices are great and I take advantage of the sale prices when I can
if my budget can afford it lot of time I still order anyway even if this means I have over spent (delays paying a bill to later )

I wish Zavvi would encourage Pre-Order customers by giving them a limited time period were they can Pre-Order at a reduced Price

Spoiler

Arrow Video for example list new Pre-Orders when first listed at a reduced price then a few weeks later increase the Pre-Order Price
This encourages early Pre-Orders

Yes as with any product you may find it cheaper a few months later or a year later if not sold well that's understandable and we all take advantage of this

But we all in reality want new releases on release day not 1 month or
2 months later or 6 months or a year later

Zavvi please encourage early Pre-Orders by giving your customers reason to as with recent new releases customers who pre-order are getting annoyed to see 1 or 2 weeks later its over 30% cheaper and in some cases 50-60% cheaper

Very simple a Pre-Order Title list at a reduced price then after 2 weeks increase the Pre-Order price

Listen to your customers Zavvi

So if after release date 1 or 2 weeks or 2 Months later the price drops Early Pre-order customers won't be so annoyed

[gimpli]

Good lord £4.99!! Ordered!!

 

[Scrubbedup]

I originally had this on preorder, but cancelled it. Its now at £4.99 so my order is finally in saving a tenner

 

[hayemaker]

Less than £4.50 with reward points. Since I don't own this film on blu ray, this is obviously more than acceptable.

 

[bourne95]

Ordered €5.98, good price, never seen it so hope it's good

 

[ben6212]

now showing as sold out.

Ordered €5.98, good price, never seen it so hope it's good

Ordered as well. It's a fun movie.

 

[PG Flips]

Well they wanted rid of it and now it's gone, good riddance too if you ask me, awful awful steel. A real Ffff Up.

Well they wanted rid of it and now it's gone, good riddance too if you ask me, awful awful steel. A real Ffff Up.

alongside "reservoir dogs" and "close encounters" the worst of the zavvi exclusives this year. this is why i'm a bit surprised it sold out so quick, even with all the discounts. "taxi driver" is one of the finest steels in 2013 and that took half a year to go OOS... oh well, tastes are different.

 

[ben6212]

it was on HUKD and it got a very large hot rating on there so that helped,too

 

[MrFurious]

Was well worth 4.99 for the disc alone imo
