I'm glad it's confirmed, and the price is moving in the right direction!
As it stands, for me, it would be a little over £19, after VAT is removed. Not to mentioned Amazon has much easier CS than Zavvi. I would pay more to go with Amazon, just for that reason.
Only orders I do from Zavvi are Exclusives.

I would expect the Amazon price to drop further. With Fox's Sound of Music steelbook out next month, price started much higher than elsewhere but dropped down to £17.99 so undercut Zavvi's £19.99 even if you had vouchers with them.

Now we only need confirmation that it'll be more than one disc and include all those extras from the US edition.

And thankful many of those 'Zavvi exclusives' tend to be UK only now. For example the 'Fast and Furious' set, 'Wild at Heart', 'Meaning of Life', etc all available from other overseas retailers. Now that Zavvi's Disney Animated Collection titles seem to have dried up it's really only Zavvi's relationship with StudioCanal that maintains any genuine 'exclusivity' with regard to their steelbook titles.

Great! Thanks for clearing that up!

If this hasn't been released in Australia by then I'll be getting this as well but I'd rather not have the Steelcase version as it will the only one.

Anyone has any experience from Base.com. I'm thinking ordering this there instead of Zavvi. I mean is the packaging any better than Zavvi's?

No it is worse but their customer service is pretty good so they are usually worth a go if their price is a lot cheaper.

Just dropped to £15.75 on AmazonUK.
For international customers, that means £13.13 once VAT is removed.

Preordered!

Amazon listing shows:

Actors: Martin Hancock, Michael Sheen, Nathalie Cox, Eriq Ebouaney, Jouko Ahola

What are the chances of them releasing this steelbook in U.S. and Canada?

Doubtful...Fox has never released a Steelbook in the US IIRC.

[insomniac013]

I was originally hoping for a digibook, but perhaps I'll get the steelbook instead...
