Whoopee! I had always hoped/Expected that there would be a Third film to balance the Trilogy but - apart from the Animated series - it was Not.. Is Not, Has Not? - To Be.

Got mine this morning - just had a quick skim through it. Looks very nice.

Awful sticker on the slipcase though promoting Hancock, a real pain to get off.

[Indiana Jones]

Got mine through this morning too, managed to get both stickers off the slipcase without ripping it but plenty of nasty glue residue left, any idea how to get that off?

Take the sticker you have removed or some sellotape and keep pressing in gently against the residue and pulling it off - works for me.

Yeah I had to do this too, works wells. Someone wasn't thinking when deciding to put those on without putting a wrapper over it first

I take it the BD Live content isn't actually accessible until the official release date? I can't get mine to work yet!
