I do like that it shows how much HMV actually pay, then the retail cost is more than double the price. Working in HMV for a brief period it always fascinated me seeing just how insane the profit margin was.

To be fair to them, you have to factor in employee costs, business rates, rents etc. and they're not cheap. Then you also have discounting of items in the future.

So I don't begrudge them setting what the markets willing to pay and get the profit. How many resellers have creamed OoS OoP releases and gone for hundreds. They've seen demand is there and they can charge, so they are.

Hopefully the artwork isn't a PoS like the Man of Steel version was.

The retailprice includes taxes too, while the price HMV pays for it doesnt. So basically is a £10 margin, and yes a lot of that goes to rent, personel and othter costs. I thinkthe net profit on a steelbook like this is about £7, so 25% of retail

Hopefully no waiting needed. From what I understand the first release will include the extended R rated cut.

Cool news but you might want to delete the image, might get someone (you?) in trouble, maybe?

Release date Jan. 1 2018 sounds reasonable
