Thank god I checked this thread, had it pre-ordered with Amazon for £11.75

huntauk · 11-01-2012, 02:37 PM

Had it already pre-ordered with HMV. But the cheeky monkeys hadn't adjusted the price. Cancelled and reordered, £5.40 a great price.

Bulletproof Tiger · 11-01-2012, 05:53 PM

Blind buy, at that price it's worth it.

I'd pre-ordered mine from Sainsbury along with E.T. Steelbook to get 10% off my first order as at the time it was the same price everywhere. I had got the email to say it had shipped Thursday morning then read this thread Thursday afternoon and saw the HMV pricing. Ummed and ahhed about cancelling and sending it back but decided in the end that I would just keep it, at least I would get it Saturday/Monday and at £10.79 including discount and what it would cost me to return it, plus the hassle I would just swallow the £4.00 difference. Still not bloody turned up though

My HMV pre-order still not shipped.

FastAndFluid · 11-06-2012, 06:29 PM

Duplicate entry. Board hung both times I tried to post before throwing a "504 gateway" error so I assumed it hadn't been taken

That's odd. My (late-placed) pre-order from HMV shipped last week and arrived yesterday.

Sodslaw · 11-06-2012, 07:09 PM

Never seen this but it nearly had Jake Wood (Max Branning in Eastenders) in the main role, he got into the last five.
Never been tempted to watch this.

HMV - On special order with our suppliers

I can wait though.

J.M.P. · 11-06-2012, 08:53 PM

Hi All, FYI HMV Ireland did not received the shipment last week for last Friday release of the movie. I call 2 shops today and still no stock !
For you lucky early owners could you please post the pictures of the front and back covers please. And some feedback regarding the PQ and extras.
All the best.

FastAndFluid · 11-06-2012, 10:42 PM

Here's a scan of the front/spine/back. Not had chance to check the Blu-Ray itself yet but will try and do so tomorrow evening and report back then if nobody else has beaten me to it.

J.M.P. · 11-06-2012, 11:00 PM

Thank you for the picture but is to small. Could you please try to post one with better resolution ?

sapphire_nick · 11-07-2012, 04:50 PM

So what is so much better re: the USA version?

sapphire_nick · 11-07-2012, 05:35 PM

Any deleted scenes that we are missing?

The way some people are going on you would think the US release is going to feature a completely different transfer done especially for them which will be far superior to ours but chances are it will be exactly the same.

Also the US version is a Digibook. (which is sweet)

J.M.P. · 11-07-2012, 08:01 PM

Hi folks any update on the PQ ? For those who received the film...please share your feedback.

J.M.P. · 11-07-2012, 08:40 PM

Hi Indy thanks you for your feedback. When your are done please post your final comments. Could you please share some light regarding the extras. Thank you.
