Don't despair yet about the extras being in PAL. I just looked at the Zavvi web page, and I think they've probably made the same mistake as the UK Amazon site regularly makes in describing the video format of Blu-ray discs as "PAL". Notice that this is shown as applying to the entire disc, not just the extras, but plainly it can't apply to the entire disc since the movie itself will be in 1080p.

Notice also that they are describing the region as a "DVD region" and showing it as 2 (rather than B). This makes me almost sure that they are just mindlessly replicating the typical description of UK DVDs.

IMO, there's still a very good chance that the disc will actually be region-free and that the SD extras will be in NTSC. However, we will obviously need confirmation of this, hopefully from a UK-based purchaser with a Region B player. (I have a Region A player so I'm also very interested to find out about this.)
