I'm just waiting on pins and needles to hear more info

Amazon's pre-order price has gone up from £13.99 to £17.98. Bleh.

iori · 06-24-2009, 06:44 PM

Glad I got my pre order in.

Are you guys sure that is for the steelbook? Has anyone wrote in to verify? I just read the description and I don't see anything about it being a steelbook?

Just want to make sure before I order

Happens a lot when the movie has just been added. In many cases it never says that it's a Steelbook® even though it is. Terminator 2 for example still says that it's a "Steel Tin" even though it's been established that it's a Steelbook®

. Remember also that you can cancel your order up until it ships so there's no risk in pre-ordering

Do you now see the value of pre-ordering Vic

If you are unsure, email customer service. Its way to early to post specifics so yea it could turn out to be a non steelBook however the pre-order is easily cancelled.

Deadset · 06-24-2009, 08:22 PM

thanks for the replies guys!

Absolutely. It took Play the best part of a month before they updated their description for "Crouching Tiger...".

HMV have dropped their price to £14.99, although, and it probably means nothing, the picture shows a standard case.

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk with your enquiry.

After looking into your enquiry I found that this item "Gladiator [Blu-ray]" is a regular version.

I understand that sometimes the amount of information we display can make deciding on an item difficult, unless you already know something about the product. Our editorial staff are constantly working on increasing the information we provide about each item as it becomes available to us. However, the information listed for this product on our website is all the manufacturer has passed along to us."

So the one on Amazon.co.uk isn't the Steelbook, guys.

Red Skies · 06-25-2009, 09:57 AM

Goatrider,

Have you been in touch with Play yet?

Goatrider · 06-25-2009, 10:00 AM

No, can't someone else call them? It will cost me a lot of money to phone from Holland.
(btw: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NU2CY4)

X400 · 06-25-2009, 10:35 AM

im not sure if amazon even knows about a steelbook yet tho so it may just end up being one... we'll see closer to the date i imagine

richieb1971 · 06-25-2009, 12:16 PM

I'd be surprised if amazons version was not the steelbook, its the same artwork.

I'm not cancelling yet, the price will go up if you do. Well it will for me since I got the £13.99 deal.

I will call play.com.

richieb1971 · 06-25-2009, 12:22 PM

I called play.com. Got a woman that spoke with broken English and she just stated that the website includes all the information they have at this time.

So no new info there i'm afraid. Its probably the same as Sweeney and 10000BC where its not exclusive. If its not exclusive they wouldn't label the fact its a steelbook so much because everyone is getting it. Other than that, maybe Paramount haven't told the stores, they just did a PR stunt and the leaked pic is the only thing we have to verify its existence.

But they did, since every website reporting it claims it's a steelbook.

Then isn't it strange that the Amazon-guy specifically said it is NOT a steelbook? He could have just said they still don't have all the info.
