Guy in HMV told me he had NINE still in stock!

Problem is the price not the packaging. If it were £40 they'd be selling no problem.

I had no qualms paying £35 for one from CEX, same as Treb, but £70 is extortion

Yes. Its just not worth £70 especially with that cheap and nasty packing. It really should of been 40ish as mentioned. It should of just been like the house set or the american box set, a cheap cardboard box, some cardboard case, a nice book and an awful cheapo happy meal sphere is not worth £70.

As already said its going to be a long time before they shift these.

To be honest even at £35 I feel slightly ripped off! Woefully poor release from arrow.( maybe a bit harsh would of been a good release if not for the awful packaging and price)

I've not seen one properly other than sealed on the shelf in HMV. From pics i think it looks decent enough, looking at the specs though it seems a little below par for Arrow that only the first movie has been given the 4k treatment. As i say, if it was £40-£45 I'd have grabbed it by now but at £70 Arrow can go forth and reproduce.

I'm one of those as I don't want the plastic sphere, just the discs in Amaray or even slim cases.
