Thanks Svet
Terrance Stamp's voice as Toby Dammit is so important. Arrow is doing a great job.

The RRP on Zavvi's site is only £9.99, and on Play & HMV it is £22.99,
I'm assuming this is the same thing,despite the price discrepency.

PowellPressburger · 10-19-2010, 03:38 AM

Looks like this title has been delayed till Nov 15th

zombeaner · 10-19-2010, 11:14 AM

Got my screener in the mail yesterday, I may check it out tonight. I'm really looking forward to it.

Another nice Arrow release. No separate poster this time though, just printed on the back of the cover.

No movement at Zavvi yet, Hope they honour the pre-order price.
