Jack Reacher UK (Entertainment Store Exclusive)

[Jb162009]

Wow:

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/4...03d74a2c122d34

Price:27.99


I emailed them and got a very quick response:

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your email.

Play take payment when we ship the item which will be at some point in the week before release.

This release is exclusive to Entertainment Store, but I’m afraid I can’t reveal the print run other than to say it is significantly under the usual 4,000 minimum.

Regards,

Luke
Entertainment Store

& there postage:

Brand new and sealed. All pre-orders are shipped so you receive your item on the day of release. Packaged in custom steelbook mailers.

I thought Play was out of the game.

Is this really a new Play.com exclusive?

Also... 27.99 GBP for a single movie non 3D steel? Serious? That is the highest price I have ever seen.

£27.99?! Pah!

Looks to be a marketplace seller to me.

Edit - Looks like an Amazon.fr exclusive according to this - http://www.hidefninja.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28957

Edit - also looks like Entertainment Store has a Uk Exclusive - http://www.hidefninja.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=38

It Defiently is a UK steel, no import. France, Australia & blufans china have also got same cover art. Although I expect this will have a much smaller print run and the j card will be in English

Yeah, I edited my post while you were typing up yours.

Too expensive for me for a blind buy.

[noeldoran]

I tried to order, but found out that you have to have a UK address.

"Items priced in pounds can only be delivered to UK addresses.
Items priced in euros can only be delivered to European addresses outside the UK."

The item is only priced in Pounds.

[noeldoran]

yes thats where i went wrong, coz im in ireland it was auto in Euros, changed to GBP and its there....

now the question is do i really need this, it was a good film....

[jimmyv]

I smell some funky stuff going on here.

Entertainment Store exclusive selling through Play.com and offered by a 3rd party seller for waaaayyy too high of a price.

No thanks.

[blucraig]

[Jframe13]

wowzerssss , is the film even that good??? dont mind paying but would like a half decent film to go with my lovely steelbook

[kevindublin]

£28 !!!

no thanks

[Bobthesub]

crikey...are we cutting out the middleman now and just going straight to the ebay/secondary market pricing now? £28? someones having a laugh

[snooloui]

Except it's possible that this will be the most limited UK Steelbook released so far, so not too unreasonable especially considering there is a lack of cheaper/widely available alternatives.

I have my limits. I don't really like to participate in that.

I'll just happily buy the regular blu ray for a fraction of the price rather than paying into some ridiculous "Let's limit the hell out of the production so we can make £25 of profit off every sucker that buys it" type of plan.

[legendarymatt92]

£27.99? That's a funny joke.

[Ben_R]

For that price I'll be buying the mediamarkt release and still be saving money. Their reply stinks of a scam!
