Since I'm from the US the Amazon price dropped to £15.xx plus shipping so I'll keep my order with them.

Did amazon.co.uk drop the price of the steel at an earlier point then raise it back up to £19.xx? That's what I'm seeing now.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you mean--minus the VAT it's £15.97 plus shippng.

If you order from Arrow, you earn points which you can then redeem towards future purchases, and shipping is free for orders over £50. Plus you'll receive the discs earlier than you would through Amazon. Arrow don't use special steelbook packaging like Amazon, however.

It's a close race, and while Arrow does have the slightly lower price, the "peace of mind", and packaging, Amazon provides won me over in the end.
Plus there's always a chance, albeit very slim, that Amazon drops the price even further...then it's money in the bank.

that's why I didn't order from them... I like arrow and you would think that they know most of their customers are collectors given the types of releases they have... the first thing I bought directly from them was the texas chainsaw massacre 2 and the box and booklet inside was smashed on one corner... not horrible but more than I would like obviously, so I won't order a steel from them unless they start packaging things more safely

Bummer!

[CrockettandTubbs]

I've got enough Arrow's to watch at the moment.

It's nice to know they have our best interests at heart

[OldPangYau]

Well, gives me more time to pre-order... and, you know, buy a region free player

Lets hope this is because they want to get this transfer right unlike People Under The Stairs & Theatre of Blood

No wonder I haven't gotten a shipping notification. I thought I saw a late May street date when I first preordered. With the month quickly coming to a close and no notification I began to suspect something was up.

Until this news, I believe the release date was June 23.

Haha! Probably just flip-flopped months.
With an already release packed June, for me, I don't mind having a few pushed back.

That's the second push. Hope it doesn't get canceled altogether.

Why isn't this being released in the US?

[spidermanonu]

Tell me about it, wish universal would release this and half baked

[OldPangYau]

This feels like a potential Shout Factory title in the US... but I won't hold my breath. Universal latches onto some titles that Shout wants, like Army of Darkness, so who knows what'll happen
