Is that 'instore' and is it region free?

Well, I've just called my Asda to reserve one...it is indeed £13.97. Its a Warner release so must be region free. I'm gonna risk it.

I can totally confirm this as my local Asda in Falkirk has it for £13.97 as well. I logged in at my work to let you all know, but respect to biggles1958 for doin the necessary already.
Beowulf is going for £17.97 in ASDA as well which is comparable with online prices.
Just a small addition, while I was up the town I noticed that while Asda had Jesse James at £13.97, HMV were asking a whopping £24.99!
I'm gonna be busy tonight!

Can anyone confirm the UK audio options?
Was hoping we might get an upgrade from the US release.

Picture does look a little murky at times and I'd definitely never use it to show off HD to my mates, however it fits the tone of the film and I think it is meant to look like that. Sound is good, never really stands out but does what it needs to.
Film on the other hand is top class, one of my favourites in the last year or so. At £13.97 it's a no brainer in my opinion.

Even 13.97 is proably more than I paid....I don't know today's exchange rate but it must be 2-1 in favour of Pounds, or more....? I think I paid $21...maybe less...? I'd have to go check.
The disc looks good when you consider that it was shot soft and muted. Sometimes they use fishbowl lenses for a distorted look, and there's quite a few shots done through olde-timey, imperfect glass windows. Those shots seem to freak out some viewers who jump to the conclusion that the encode is faulty.
The audio isn't very particularly demanding beyond the train robbery. Some might argue that the Dolby 640 track is inadequate but I'm doubting it. Now if Jesse would of had a spaceship instead of a horse maybe the audio format would of been inadequate...? It's a dialog-driven film and the dialog is crisp. It's so easy to discern Cassey Affleck's whiney voice.
It's a long film squeezed onto a 25 gig disc. It proably could look some better on a 50 gig disc? It smokes the DVD just the same. It wasn't a popular success in the cinemas and I feel we're lucky to have gotten it on HD at all.
By the end of the film, most will wish they were pulling the trigger on Robert Ford, Cassey Affleck's character....

The movie must be 1080p

I felt sorry for Bob at the end and was screaming <Spoiler> 'don't kill him, don't kill him'. I've accepted it now though - hey you can't fight history and the ending was nicely done with the narration and freeze shots.
