I know they're not out yet, but just going from the art they've shown, I'm gonna go ahead and say 4 for 4 and include ZDT and The Master in there too.

Well I'd lean in PA's direction as well, although Zavvi has not released those titles(yet?), so it wouldn't be a fair fight.

The main thing that PA does that Zavvi doesn't is make packages, not just the steelbooks. It's hard to compare them equally, even when considering PA's 1/4 slip since it still contains a bunch of extra stuff. Zavvi's are like the plain Janes of steelbooks, which is fine for ones that wouldn't get released otherwise but trying to follow releases like PA's Wrestler and Kimichi's Pianist just doesn't make much sense to me. Needless to say, since I got the full slip PA release, this is an easy pass for me.

This film is in my top 5 favorite films, and while I like them both, the PA release just works better for me.

Cool with me. While PA's release of The Wrestler didn't hook me, I still respect that they tried to be different with it. And I'm definitely all in on their I Saw the Devil release.

Oh man.....seriously...I missed this one......a few days away from a pc and you miss a steelie you would really like. Totally enjoyed this film, but never got around to purchasing it on any format...a steelie would have been a fitting addition to my collection...oh well hope Zavvi has one of those "Last few copies" things that happen come up....

lol. bud this is gonna take a long, long, long long time to sell out. Probably 80%+ of steelbook collectors just got PA's The Wrestler. That one took months to sell out completely with a lower print run. Although a few may not have fancied it, most did. I'd be surprised if Zavvi sells even half the print run of these over the next few months.

Oh cheers....must look like that ol' rookie mistake

I thought I read that someone had "ordered" their copy so assumed it had gone live and sold out....

See what happens when you miss a few days on blu-ray.com.......you totally lose track of whats going on in the Blu-ray universe!

I wouldn't sweat this one too much. I don't see it selling out the first day...of course now that I say that...

Enjoy the wedding!
