I clicked on the FNAC link to take a look at ordering, and their server blocked my IP address because of botting. WTF? Lost sale.

Got the Zavvi email today as well. Super frustrating but at this point we’ll see a US Steelbook release before the zavvi order ships out lol.

My order dispatched. Anyone else get their notification? The weird thing is only my deluxe box shipped. I went with the smaller-sized one as the bigger set was sold out, but I also ordered the Steelbook separately in case I didn't like the CE. Odd that they would not ship them together.

Yes, many of us are noting our shipment notifications for the Deluxe edition here: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...=357021&page=3. No movement on any of the lesser editions yet.

I ordered the CE and it shipped last night.

Cool. My guess is they prioritized shipments of the most expensive version first, making way for the others to go out now.

Meant to post this in the Steelbook section. Carry on!

They are sticking the same sad old Sony disc in that Steelbook? A shame. Sticking with the FiM.

This is interesting to me, I never knew there were this many hardcore fanatics of special editions of the same 4K release. Willing to pay 39.99 for the same disc + extras is mind blowing.

Are you referring to the Zavvi edition? because the Sony steelbook will be around 27 come release.

Also, the Zavvi steelbook has the StudioCanal disc, which has a much better transfer.

Yup! That’s why I jumped on the Zavvi exclusive 4K. The screenshots were night and day. I missed out on the Studiocanal release a few years back. The US release does not have DV.

Maybe at some point they will release it but it’s not happening anytime soon with this latest US reissue. I do like the US artwork and I’m glad those who missed out will be able to get it now.

Telemachus · 08-01-2023, 09:15 PM

The FiM disc is a dream, no not grab the Sony Steelbook if you love this film

RdCrestdBreegull · 08-02-2023, 03:25 AM

I have the 2017 Sony release but from reading the above comments it sounds like there is a version with a better transfer? Which version has the best transfer?

The StudioCanal for the Dolby Vision color grading, but the US Sony edition has the better Dolby Atmos mix

gates70 · 08-03-2023, 08:08 PM

Goy my CE today, beautiful set. Now that's how you package something for shipping...it had a box with paper and pillows all around, and the movie itself was inside another box while wrapped in some type of bamboo wrapping. Arrow take note (re; the Bruce Lee set).

Could you please explain in which circumstances? I didn't find any difference between the two. So I sold my Sony 4K after getting the UK one (I kept the Blu-ray for the special features).
