Day one purchase.

 

Looks like it's limited to 3,000.. here is the link for Pre-Order...http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/the-wicker-man-zavvi-exclusive-limited-edition-steelbook/10793623.html

i would jump on it ...already ordered mine !it was pretty cheap..!!

 

Anyone knows if it's region locked?

 

Nevermind, just read the product details and it's region B

 

Britt Ekland in HD will be worth a purchase alone. Hope we get it over here!!

 

UK sites always play safe when a product is on pre-order and, aside for the confirmation, there are no news about this release.

 

Thanks, Risky. Didn't realize the preorder was already up. Just ordered mine.

 

Better to pre-order it, it´s free to do so... when the official details are available, and if they´re not to your liking then you can cancel it.

Better to pre-order something with uncertainty, then to regret it when it´s sold out.

 

People are freaking out a bit here. There will be a regular release that isn't a steel book as well; It'll be limited to how ever many they can sell.

 

For what it's worth, the blu-ray.com article does mention a standard Blu-Ray release in addition to the limited edition, Zavvi-exclusive steelbook. The steelbook is also limited to 4,000 copies per the zavvi.com link.

 

The steelbook looks amazing. There is no way I could settle for a standard release when I know the steelbook is out there. I also have the Wooden Box set for the dvd, still shrink wrapped, so clearly I have a weakness for such gimmicks.

 

I knew that, but my posts where made with the assumption the TheShape wanted the limited stuff.

 

I pre-ordered one of the SteelBooks earlier. I kind of doubt it'll sell out that fast, but it probably will sell out before the release date in October.

I cancelled the SteelBook order at Zavvi quite a while ago. It's worthless beyond the packaging... since it won't even include the 2nd Blu-ray.

Why they didn't just axe the "DVD" and include the 2nd Blu-ray is just perplexing.

 

I ordered the 40th Anniversary Edition from Amazon UK. I hope that's the one that has the 2 BDs and all the pertinent extras.

 

Yes, that's the full version which includes everything. It's just the SteelBook exclusive from Zavvi that won't even include the 2nd Blu-ray.

 

I'm guessing they weren't offered both a Blu-ray stand alone and a DVD stand alone option. Since DVD is still a big seller they had to compromise to include one of each.

 

Perhaps, but they're also selling the normal DVD stand alone edition.
