My steelbook's turned up today. Was sent on Wednesday.

Very disappointed that this release is the edited version.

Disney are idiots.

After getting the German steelbook on Saturday, I definitely prefer the US Viva case.

i disagree about the look, i think it looks amazing but agree with the rest. And we didnt even get DMR points with it. I'll need to email Disney.

Received today with a nice juicy box cutter mark on the spine. Poor CA has been slashed.

Yes it is... it's a cut and an unnecessary one at that.

I spent years making sure my DVDs were uncut versions, importing to get around cut headbutts and butterly knives in the UK and now, finally when the BBFC seem to be more relaxed at last and the Rules have changed so that uncut DVD/BDs can be released of movies trimmed for the cinema to get a certain rating, Disney make the version we have (which is unique to the UK because of the title change so would require a different pressing to Europe anyway) the cut one.

Even if I don't actually mind about the actual cut (as you say, it's relatively small it and of itself), I am furious about the shoddy treatment the UK release has received from a company that doesn't seem to care (removing the commentary because it "wasn't ready in time", rather than delaying the release a week) and is palpably negligent or lazy (slapping the UK titles on the German, cut version of the film) assuming the buyers won't care which copy they decided to give us.

And yet you still bought it? I'm not trying to have an argument, believe me, I'd be the last person to want to, it's a 2 second cut that doesn't take away anything from the film (extras aside) it's really not a big deal
