My steelbook copy of the resent released Heat from Zavvi says region B right on the disc but it plays in my us player. So take that with a grain of salt.

and no idea how good they are at updating it when the rel is actually out.
Yea, I mean I'm usually careful about it. But you're right, Zaavi usually says Region B for default pre-release (as does Amazon). That's why I think it will be Region Free since they are specifically noting that before the release. So perhaps they know already. I will keep a watch on it regardless up to the release date. That way if it changes I will cancel the order.

It's a Sony release I believe. I don't recall ever personally running into a locked Sony disc. Most of their releases use the same discs in Europe as US

In that case, you can be patient for the U.S. release of this steelbook to hit BB and/or Target shelves or just go with a region-free player.
Is a BBY release in the US for sure?

That was just a conjecture on my part.
But I think it's entirely possible the same steelbook arrives in the US eventually, I don't know when or with what retailer though.

So I was foolishly holding out for a US steel only to be massively let down by BBs poor attempt. I'm new to the overseas steelbook circuit, does zavvi ever restock? Or can I refresh daily in hopes of a cancellation?

Best bet is to follow their twitter feed and they are usually really good about letting everyone know when an item will be going on presale or if it becomes available to order again.

Awesome stuff, thanks for the tips y'all, will likely go with the Amazon.uk version, it's the same no? Region free as well? I couldn't seem to find that on the product details.

The Amazon UK version went unavailable for some reason. It would be nice to know why.
