Play.com - Star Trek XI (Steelbook, play exclusive)

For those who barfed when Play put the price of their 'exclusive' steelbook up to £22.99......

They have now reduced the price again to the same price as the standard set - £17.99

They obviously weren't selling at a £5 premium for a tin case

Thought it was an exclusive? Or is there a US version?

Sorry, I mean I just ordered the film itself in general from somewhere else. Might have to see what Tesco's return policy is like!

Re: Play.com - Star Trek XI (Steelbook, play exclusive)
