Speaking of the film itself, I went to see it yesterday and absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the Blu-ray release, and I hope there's a steelbook with it too. Universal seems to be releasing most, if all of its major Blu-ray titles now with steelbooks.

Also saw it yesterday and thought it was awesome, especially in 3D. Will def buy this for sure!

Saw it last week at the cinema, absolutely loved it.

Does anyone here know if the US version will be region free, or is likely to be region free? might import it (it's that good).

Universal titles are always region-free, the DVD is region 1, though and the Digital Copy won't work unless you trick iTunes.

Thanks Chris for the possible release date!

I will of course be buying the Blu-Ray release (pft to DVD lol).

Definitely going to keep an eye on this one, one of my favourites from this year including Inception, Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3.

How come no pre order or price yet?

[dirkblack]

I have the 3D version pre-ordered from dvdworldusa, should be here before Christmas.

Will probably pre-order this as the trailers look great and it seems to get pretty good, to really good reviews

Hopefully the February date is true, and a pre-order is up soon!

Artwork has now been updated, and by the looks of them, finalised. And is it just me, or are the Triple Play banners getting even bigger? It just looks to me like the text, or maybe the banner overall, is larger than before, or sticks out worse as it's on a blue background. I'm a little tempted to cancel and get the 3D version, which I think has a much nicer cover overall. However I would lose the Play.com discount that I already redeemed on the 2D version, and be stuck with a 3D disc that's even less use to me than the digital copies.

Also, for anyone who saw the film and noticed the reference, does anyone else think this should've been released on "Gru-ray Disc?"

Thank goodness I've imported the US release.
