The Zavvi version will be your basic single disc, stripped down version. Which is typical Zavvi. It's like a Kia. Sure it has four wheels and somewhat of an engine. It's cheap. The Blufans is the Ferrari. And when you order a Ferrari, it takes a bit to get it. But it's so much sweeter when it arrives.

This could also be interpreted as the classic "little penis" argument for buying a Ferrari, interpreted for collectors :P

Good thing I've got several inches to spare. Sounds like you might need a few.

Ohoo, I'll give you that one, that was a good comeback.

Now my honest opinion, I much prefer the cover of the Zavvi, the interior is much better in my opinion, a nice suited scenery piece, and I love the back cover.

I really did not like the blufans cover, as if I wanted the pixel face and bricks, I'd just walk down to the store and drop $50 on the Australian slipcase.

Zavvi dont appear to be correcting their stupidly high prices so seeing as I have the US 3D set with gorgeous slip, this will likely be the first Disney Classic steelbook pass for me. Shame but I refuse to continue supporting Zavvi and their greed

I thought you jumped on the Blufans version? If not then, I'm a little surprised to see you pass on this one?

at £50+ ... no chance
was planning on getting this but the £23 retail price tag for a single disc steel is still taking the piss IMO
