I'd love to have the film 2 months early and the steelbook does look awesome, but I just love the Universal box art and general packaging. Maybe I'll get both?!?

[MarkBirds]

Really, Amazon? 28 bucks?

That UK steel book is roughly the same price and it comes out next week. Not a hard decision.

Lol... uhh, it's not out until August, it'll drop by then

Yeah its a really simple decision to make when you're completely ignorant in regards to Amazon's preorder policies.

AWESOME! Day 1 for me as well. Saw it theatrically and loved it. I was a bit surprised that the majority of the laughs came from Seth Rogen's voice acting and the animation of Paul rather than from Pegg and Frost, but i still loved it. Was pretty bummed that the reveal of

[Show spoiler]Sigourney Weaver

was spoiled in the commercials. Though i guess i could tell immediately by the sound of

[Show spoiler]her voice on the phone with Bateman's character

. I bet this will be a killer blu! There are some surprisingly great action scenes in this.

[Minimejer05]

Such an awesome movie. Enjoyed the hell out of it. Day one for me!

Hot Fuzz and The World's End are both great. I like Hot Fuzz the most of all four.

You've never seen Hot Fuzz?!! Get that s**t as soon as possible. Amazing movie. Also if you haven't seen The Worlds End get on it. Run Fatboy Run is okay but not one of his best and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is a personal favorite. I haven't seen A Fantastic Fear of Everything yet.
