Scroll down and take a look at the previous ZBoxes they've done.

Never heard of this 'ZBox' thing before - that's certainly an... interesting... sales technique...

Good luck with that, chaps!

So, has this actually been on sale yet, did I miss it?........the site shows as sold out?

[JOE SOAP]

Might have been a bit more appealing to customers if they'd spent the money on the art-work rather than a more or less straight copy of the regular plastic version with the same art desaturated on the inside. The other steelbooks have a better finish to them or new covers.

[Steve Green]

It's on sale tomorrow apparently.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

There must be a T-Shirt included, as there's a size box to tick, when you pre-order!

[Keef Monkey]

On sale now, and still no detail about what's on the disc sadly.

Would agree that the artwork is disappointing too, usually the steelbook editions are a good opportunity to do something cool with the artwork (maybe a Jock image or something would have been nice). To just plap on the art from the regular release doesn't show a lot of thought.

Still, if there are some extras on that disc, I'm in!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

When you read all the extra info there must be a few bits added but they don't say what!
It'll be like Christmas when it arrives, as then you'll find out what they've added

Unless they tell us in a few weeks time

Likely a collection of the same extras that appear on other discs; Zavvi don't add extra content, they just repackage other releases or special-editions.

Yeah I've just been speaking to a colleague who did the Zavvi steelbook/Z Box bundle thing in the past and he said the same thing, just a repackaged disc. He also said the Z box bundle he got was "90% tat and nowhere near worth the money" so I think I'm off the idea!

A shame, I was looking at a canadian steelbook recently that was loaded with new extras, but wasn't region free sadly.

As previewed in the 2000ad Thrillmail, the Zbox includes:

Dredd Steelbook
Dredd: Underbelly One-shot with Exclusive Trevor Hairsine cover
Planet Replica Dredd badge
Planet Replica Dredd badge keychain

Plus probably some other, non-Dredd related stuff(?)

So I retract my earlier cynicism - that's actually a fairly decent deal. Not for me, but not what I'd call 'tat' either.

The Mondo steelbook has the same extras that all ready exist on the US blu-ray - there's nothing new on it. There are few independent distributors who add new extras because it costs them money; Shout Factory being one of the only ones who do actual special-editions with new featurettes/remasters. The most you'll find on some of the others is a new transfer with maybe an isolated music track.

May I ask how the Dredd badge differs?   

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I bought mine at 09:00 and I'm fuming that it's not arrived yet!
