Well that's what happens if you insist on writing the date the wrong way round

I hate that. Why is the month in the middle? That is just stupid.

England was around long before America. It was you guys who decided to do everything different for absolutely no reason.

Why don't you do your times in seconds, hours and minutes?

I'd call this "fair warning" to the people to HAVE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT! At least this one isn't sold out yet so anyone who isn't ready will still have a chance to rectify their $$$ without blaming Zavvi

Good move on Zavvi's part, possibly in reply to previous issues

Looks like Little Mermaid release date may have changed also. My order has a dispatch date of August 12th

I love it when bad news turns good though.

I know I did when I first read it, but then considered the source and new it must be August vs. December. Always nice to receive a "bump up" in a release date, instead of the opposite!

The regular edition isn't out until September, so it won't be coming in August. Despite bringing if forward, TJB steel is still out a week after the regular edition.

Of course the ultimate work around for this is pretty simple: When you preorder something, have the money in your account. Act as if it's already been deducted, then folks won't have to go down that Peter/Paul road.

Why would anyone plan ahead

I hear you...and the scary thing about that is, for some people, it's true!
Well to each his/her own! Hopefully nobody goes belly-up preordering blu-rays!

[goldie1970]

Speaking of planning ahead, hey Zavvi, how about some artwork!!

What's the Peter/Paul road?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. I never works out!

Seriously, what is the Peter/Paul road?

I was serious. The term "robbing Peter to pay Paul", is applied when someone is, basically, spending beyond their means.
Like using one credit card to pay off another.
