Yikes! $42 is a bit too much for me for a movie I have never seen. Guess I'll wait for Paramount on this one.

It's worth every penny.

Until Paramount announces the American release a day after yours arrives

I ordered this over the weekend from amazon UK. Is there a really noticeable difference in watching a Blu-ray in PAL? Since it's 1080p, I know we don't have to deal with the compatibility issues, but what about the 25fps? Is it distracting?

Mine arrived saturday from Xploited Cinema, picked it up today from PO Box. Now I want more Blu ray steelbooks. Think they have an Ironman steel book coming out whenever the movie is released on dvd

i was collecting to many things, I dont think I can start this exspensive habit with Steelbooks... I would love to - but my wallet laughes at me.

in almost all cases, the feature is encoded at 1080p24 on the disc, so there is no 25fps issue. conversion to 1080p50 for european displays is done in the european market players - it is not present on the disc.

My order from Amazon.uk is still in "dispatch mode" I'm about to cancel it. Rumor has it, that it's OOS.

Maybe that's why they seem to be going to a 3rd party for it.

Mine came directly from Amazon and had VAT removed, but more recent orders as mentioned did not.

My guess is the steelbook is limited and a standard version will replace it.

Hmm ya more than likely. I still never got a notice from them saying it was back ordered. I just figured they would be anxious to get my $$. Dispatch is estimated between June 2-4 I placed it on the 23rd. A lot of people on Blu-ray.com got theirs shipped the next day. So...who knows.

i never got a backorder notice either.
Order Date: 22 May 2008
Delivery estimate: 9 Jun 2008 - 10 Jun 2008
Great. i make my order a day before you and i get a delivery estimate that's a week after yours...? Granted it's just an estimate, but still

edit:
read my summary wrong - i'm such a bonehead :
Dispatch estimate: 2 Jun 2008 - 3 Jun 2008
Carry on....

I just got a shipping confirmation for mine.

you all should check xploitedcinema.com if you cancel your order. ordered mine thursday last week from them and got it saturday. paid for faster shipping but they seem to have it in stock

xploitedcinema is currently showing Sweeney Todd Blu-ray Steelbook as OUT OF STOCK.

the second batch?

I got my disc with the first order - they were snapped up real fast.

Can you point me in the direction of one of these? I actually liked the movie.

Are you people really paying $41.20 for this?? I want, but... forty bucks...

I compensated by bringing my lunch to work, instead of going out like I normally do...

sendit.com has it in stock and shipped it out within 12 hours for me... I believe it was 17.98ukp + 1.60 shipping.

They're pretty darn quick too... they ship Royal Air Mail (from N. Ireland) and I usually get stuff within a week here in Texas.

Throw Transformers: The Movie in your cart for 7.98 while you're at it too!

Sorry about that. Guess I ordered mine at the right time. Glad I didnt hold off on buying this

This is where I stand today.
