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.

I wanted the 3D version, which in the US you can only get from the UK. So, Universal will not let me use the digital copy code.

If you're in the UK here's the code, give it a shot. If it works say Thanks. If it don't, someone saw it before you.
