So the UK Edition is cut?!

I have Hobbit 1 and 2 EE 3D editions from the UK with Lenticular front slipcases and pre-ordered the 3rd one just yesterday but if it is cut, I will get the US edition.

It will most likely be identical everywhere, don't worry. The ratings may vary, though, as views on violence and what's appropriate can differ a bit between different cultures. For example, while it's rated R in the US, Germany's FSK (their equivalent of the MPAA) only gave it a 12. I don't think the BBFC have rated it yet.

Like MG said above, MPAA is funny when it comes to violence, and the rating does sound like it just tipped off the iceberg, I doubt this'll be cut because Desolation of Smaug EE got a 15, so it would be daft to cut it now.

Why would it be cut? It hasn't even been submitted to the BBFC yet. It's home video - if it has to be a 15 they won't care (as Foggy says, DoS was a 15 thanks to the extras). If this was a cinema release, different story - but then Warners wouldn't release an R rated version theatrically in the States either.

It might also just turn out to be a 12 in this country - it's been known for R rated films to be only rated a 12 by the BBFC, such as Terminator 3 or About Time. The two ratings agency aren't the same, they have different ratings, different criteria and different viewpoints.

Don't panic

Definitely a misprice, but worth a gamble since they bill you on dispatch. Dont forget code ZVC5 for 5% off

Will probably be cancelled, but always worth a shot.

It's tempting and I have the first two already! I think I might just wait for the third one to drop in price a little bit. I haven't gone through the first two extended editions.

Zavvi can be hit and miss with cancellations, some people always seem to get lucky.

I imagine I'll get a cancellation email Monday morning.
