Are the shipping costs high?

(!) TIP: Split your orders! You are forced to use tracked shipping (costs around 8-15 GBP) if you order 4 or more steelbooks at once. If you order 3 (or less) at once, shipping will be free or only 0.99 cents!

How can I pay for my products?
- Via creditcard or via PayPal (PayPal does not always work though).

Is Zavvi reliable?
- Yes, Zavvi is reliable. But don't expect what you are used to. Products might take a lot of time to arrive. Don't expect Amazon-like customer service.

A new Zavvi exclusive was just announced, but Zavvi states it is already sold out. Is this true?
- No. This is a bug in their system. Steelbooks will go live several days after the announcement. Nothing to be worried about .

Off topic.. slightly but who's idea was it to release Die Hard 3 on steelbook but leave out the other 2 (well 3 but I only want the 1st 2)

Bad idea really

Bad idea really

It's because in the UK DH3 is owned by Disney and was part of their Steelbook deal including The Rock and Armageddon. For some reason in the Fox Steelbook deal Play got an odd mix of films like Taken and the A-Team. However no DH films and only Wolverine and not the first 3 X-Men films.

I know everything is surprisingly much cheaper on Zavvi and other new steelbook retailers.

Maybe one of the reasons why Play.com will stop selling in March

Honestly. I'm quite happy about Play closing down... at last those exclusives will be more widely available... just checked > Sainsbury's (Online) will also be selling them... http://www.sainsburysentertainment.c...=2&t=steelbook

Except there won't be any more exclusives. Play.com gave us what we wanted. Excellent Steelbooks at cheap prices. I don't imagine we'll see a Steelbook for less than £10 on release date ever again

You're kinda right... as for steels, there's already a lucrative market for it & online retailers know that quite well. Unless HMV completely recovers from the financial mess, Film Studios in the next few months will eventually select an online partner like Amazon or Zavvi to meet the demand for those exclusives.

As for steelbook prices... that too will come down once they become more common (Let's Hope So).

Zero_Cool · 01-25-2013, 06:31 AM

Not a bad price on Zombieland. I never picked it up. Not sure if I 100% regret it or not.

You should grab it, Zombieland is a really nice looking steel.

It really is a nice looking steelbook. I just already own the movie on dvd and blu-ray. Do I really need another copy.

The Zombieland Play.com steel is pretty majestic looking I must say. It honestly is probably my favorite in my collection right now. IMHO you really can't go wrong by puling the trigger on that one.

People, what do you think?
Is this a new batch, or remaining stock?

My guess is more than likely its their remaining stock.

blurayisnice · 01-29-2013, 03:44 AM

Fight club, ateam, man on fire and a few more are niw listed on zavvi. Pre-order. Probably remaining stock because they are 30 euros each!

Billz · 01-29-2013, 07:35 AM

Transformers will probably appear on there at some point too, since you can't get to the product page for it on Play.com anymore.
