[Shanester]

Very nice gesture on Zavvi's part. I love those guys!!

 

[ricster]

Notice that the email doesn't say send the disc to you in one piece

Hopefully the manufacturer will send it

 

[glennturner21]

Nice bonus but where are we meant to store it as the steelbook doesn't have a spare space for a 3rd disk ??!

Probably in the cardboard sleeve they'll ship it in I'd expect.

 

[hayemaker]

So if you order this now, are we to assume Zavvi will send the 3rd disk aswell?

I find it's difficult to assume anything with Zavvi.

 

[stevien]

True, but at least we are getting it

No but you'll probably get a discounted copy of The Jungle Book

Spoiler

I hope so. When this drops in price it would be nice to get all three discs without the hassle of contacting Zavvi.

 

[Bobthesub]

Why couldnt they have sorted this mess out prior to the release? we knew about it for weeks before it was due out...ended up cancelling it in favour of the 3 disk amaray. I have the soundtrack already so the 'missing' bluray was the dealbreaker for me

Oh well...

 

[ajninfedih]

Got the e-mail too. Thanks Zavvi and StudioCanal for fixing the mistake.

 

[Menouthis]

Got the email about the missing disc. But my first reaction was "What disc?" then "Oh that's nice, but I mostly care only about the steelbook and that came in mint condition". Then I realized how messed up my train-of-thoughts was.

 

[eerik]

Throw out the DVD or use it as a coaster.

 

[hammerdave]

eerik nails it

 

[thecardman23]

Got the e-mail too. Thanks Zavvi and StudioCanal for fixing the mistake.

So just to confirm... If I place an order today for this steelbook I will get all 3 discs? I know for those who already have it the disc will come separately but what are they doing for the ones that havn't been shipped yet? Is the disc going to be included in a sleeve or something?

I doubt it because the contents on zavvis description has now changed but myself and others pre ordered this when it had the original 3 disk listing and then that changed about a week before it was released.

Email from Zavvi

I have not received dispatched email yet
I got the previous email telling me

Spoiler

As you may already be aware when we first announced this title it was expected to be a 3 disc release containing extra cuts of the movie, unfortunately it has come to our attention that the product only contained a 2 disc version.

We have contacted the studio responsible for the release of The Wicker Man and arrangements have been made to send the missing third disc to you. As soon as we are ready to send these to you we will be back in touch.

Please accept our apologies for this error and any inconvenience or disappointment it may have caused.
