Amazing price for a very decent new release - JB currently have the 3D version at $36.95, making this over $20 cheaper…..there's many other good releases on special, including Downton Abbey Season 1&2 for $26 delivered.
Referrer gets £5, referee gets £5 off first ZBOX
JB's price for the 3D version is actually $46.98, making this an even bigger bargain!

Ordered!
There is a cheaper JB one for $36.95 which is the comparable one for this one. The one you've mentioned is for some special version….glad you ordered it though.
The cheaper one isn't 3D. This one from Zavvi is both regular and 3D. (I ordered it previously from them).
Sold…thanks OP. Don't know what the movie is like, mixed reviews… But for this price I'll live with it
Where did you hear mixed reviews? I havent seen it but when a movie sits on 94% on Rotten Tomatoes it's hard to called that "mixed"
It's a great movie, and one of the few where I felt the 3D actually added to it.
I didn't think the movie was that great. It wasn't emotionally moving enough, and didn't have enough bits in between to keep it interesting otherwise.
I was tempted to get the BD/DVD/Digital combo from Amazon U.S. a while ago

You'd need a Region 1 Blu Ray player to play US discs. Australia is Region 2 (like the UK)
Not according to blu-ray.com for Hugo:

Could be right but according to the Amazon link it says "Region: Region A/1". It could be what they just say by default (and not say region free), but for me it's not worth the risk - I buy from AU or UK.
It is Region Free - I purchased my copy from Amazon US.
That is what Amazon says by default. The blu-ray.com site is accurate. The only thing I don't like about buying US versions is that the cases are slim and make my cabinet look messy. Damn OCD :p
Have to admit the liking the slimmer cases….fit more on the shelf :-)
Silly question, but Shall I think this to be the one for 3D TVs and not with coloured glasses for 3D?
Yes, you'll need a 3D TV, a 3D Blu Ray player and the 3D glasses that go with your telly.
Includes the normal 2D version as well so okay if you don't have a 3D tele.
Thanks. Will buy then. Normally they write if you need a 3D TV, but missed for this one.
This is very cheap for a 3D new release however still prefer the Australian 3D version which has DVD and digital copy included as well.
Good bargain, boring movie imo
Can't believe you are negging this guy due to personal opinion regarding the movie! Just have a read of the reviews from IMDB - Everyone says it's a brilliant visual masterpiece but the plot/storyline lacks depth. I completely agree, as without the bells and whistles of 3D (which was how I watched it), the storyline did not intrigue, and the character development was just lacking. But hey, as mentioned, it's visually spectacular so just get it to show off the 3D abilities of your TV.
sorry, I'm new to shopping at Zavvi.com but it comes to 12.84 pounds (11.64 + 1.19 for shipping to Melbourne) when I just tried to buy it, which is AU$20.37 with exchange rates from x-rate.com . Am I missing something? How do I get it for ~$15.75 delivered? Thanks for your help.
price is 8.95 pounds plus shipping. Click on the link.
thanks
I clicked on the link but it still says 11.64 pounds and not 8.95. oh well. might've missed it.
It's still £8.95 when I clicked on the link just now.
that's so weird. i might email them. i even went to the site from other posts but it still appears as 11.64 pounds for me. weird
so weird. decided to go on my wife's PC (I have a MAC) and check it out. guess what? it was 8.95. just bought it. thanks
Your computer was set to display EURO (€11.65). If you change to GBP it would be reverted back to £8.95.
The 3D effects in this movie are quite impressive,really immersive.
Great find! Sold!
Great deal! I just put in an order too!
Will be interesting to see how many disks this version is. Says in the title that it includes the 2D feature also, but doesn't specify if it's blu-ray (should be), DVD or both.
Many of the other blu-ray release covers for this movie detail this information on the front at the top. This cover only notes the 3D logo.
Cheers.
Finally shipped overnight.
Did not get it yet. Zavvi said posted on 22 june. delivery department said cannot deliver due to shortage of stock.
I can still see the movie on their website. This has happened second time with me. Not very happy.
