PSA: Zavvis 3 for £20 sale seems to actually be a 3 for £12 sale - Blu-ray Forum

Axoloth · 11-30-2016, 02:57 PM

Was buying something from Zavvi and was looking through the sale in case something caught my eye. I usually add those titles that do catch my eye in my basket, so I can look through them properly afterwards. Once I had 3 titles in my basket I noticed they were discounted to £4 each. Don't know if this is a glitch or on purpose or what, but I just got three steelbooks for £4 each so I'm not complaining.

Figured others might be interested as well.

Ste7en · 11-30-2016, 03:31 PM

Wow! Just orderes six steelbooks. Stuff I actually wanted as well!

Filmbloke · 11-30-2016, 03:34 PM

Nice spot! Snapped up Naked Lunch, Don't Look Now and Nikita steels! The drawback is I bought You're Next and Dracula POD over the weekend, but they were still cheap - just not insane cheap! Right, I'm going back in for more!!!

huntauk · 11-30-2016, 03:34 PM

Good find. I already had the best ones, like City of God, Nikita & The Host. Grabbed a couple that didn't tempt at £7-8 - You're Next & Animal Kingdom plus a non-SB title.

Cinematt · 11-30-2016, 03:36 PM

Just ordered 6 things, including 3 BFI Ozus I've had my eye on for ages. £4 a piece is an absolute steal!

Isn't the Don't Look Now SB the 'wish you hadn't looked' transfer?

I think it is - but worth £4 for the box! Might just put the DVD in it!

Ste7en · 11-30-2016, 03:47 PM

I just had an email from Zavvi advertising 3 steelbooks for 20 quid.

Hmm, something isn't right here.

rapta · 11-30-2016, 03:48 PM

Silly Zavvi...someone's gonna get a bollocking!

Went for two BFI titles I had on my wishlist (Phantom of the Opera and Farewell My Concubine) and The Host SB. Would have gone for another BFI but I recently bought the Kenneth Anger release for a fiver!

There are a bunch of BFI titles in there, as well as a couple of Arrow ones (noticed City of the Living Dead), a few Odeon titles, and even one or two Eureka (including Two-Lane Blacktop SB).

Anyway, I wonder if they'll fulfil these? Still raw that they cancelled my Shoah order some months ago...

Desk. · 11-30-2016, 03:53 PM

What chance they correct this and then deduct the remaining sum, charging you the correct £20?

Desk

Ste7en · 11-30-2016, 03:55 PM

Yeah, they'll all get cancelled if it is a balls-up.

Still, if we get charged the incorrect amount Axoloth is gonna reimburse us. Nice fella

Sinthetic · 11-30-2016, 03:55 PM

Incredible balls up, thanks for the heads up!

Just ordered 14 things for £56. Some real bargains in there.

Pretty sure they can't do that, they can't ammend a transaction but they can cancel it.

chip75 · 11-30-2016, 04:05 PM

Ordered Alice, the Tomb Raider double-bill and Rosemary's Baby. Tempted to order a few Steelbooks ... Naked Lunch, Nikita and Two Lane Blacktop are calling out.

You can search by distributor too, so for those looking for some BFI titles, you're in for a treat.

Axoloth · 11-30-2016, 04:06 PM

So, it seems Zavvi has two different sales right now, one 3 for £12 and one 3 for £20. Seems some wires have been crossed and the £20 titles get applied with the £12 discount.

njhansen · 11-30-2016, 04:06 PM

Thanks for the tip

Picked up:

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (steelbook)
Seraphim Falls (steelbook)
You're Next (steelbook)
This Is Spinal Tap (steelbook)
Cria cuervos (BFI)
Symptoms (BFI)

Don't tell anyone ...

rapta · 11-30-2016, 04:10 PM

Symptoms is a particular bargain. I paid £8 for it recently!

Filmbloke · 11-30-2016, 04:14 PM

Well, gone back in for The Guest, Spinal Tap and Lost Highway. My first order is awating dispatch! Fingers crossed!
