Revealed via the official UK Facebook page for Avengers Assemble, UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's are offering an exclusive deal on the upcoming Blu-ray release of the movie which fans on this side of the pond will find hard to turn down. Not only does it come with "an exclusive sleeve", but also a disc which contains a 90-minute featurette called, "Marvel Studios: Building A Cinematic Universe". In North America, Target are offering a similar deal which includes the featurette. Also appealing is the low price - only £12.99. That's considerably less than most other retailers. You can find out more by clicking on the image below. We'll be sure to let you know of any other Avengers related bargains and bundles as the home video release draws closer.

That box art is ass, is it to much to ask for a simple "A" or a shield logo?

Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:09 PM
Wait... so this is a movie starring American characters, from an American comic company, produced by an american company, and features a main character called CAPTAIN AMERICA and we dont get this... -______-

I believe US retailer Target has the same disc under a different name. It boasts 90 minutes of unseen bonus material, so i would assume so

Similar deal at Target you say? I think I know where I will be getting my Blu-Ray from...

I love the cover. Better than the crappy standard Blu-Ray cover we have in the UK, with just 4 members of the team.

Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:13 PM
Although i really shouldnt complain because of how many things are packed into the 3d bundle for us 'Mericans but even still UK gets it first too

Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:15 PM
@TheOnes for the standard BD or the 3d+dvd+DC version?

CPBuff22 - 8/20/2012, 5:15 PM
The feature should be in the Cinematic box set at least according to the plethora of emails I have been getting about it from Marvel.

@Ha1frican:

^ Some steelbooks available worldwide.


I quite fancy that £12.99 Sainsburys exclusive one.
An alternative I may get is the HMV 'A' logo steelbook but that retails at £16 but it doesn't have the exclusive 90 min feature. I suppose the 90 min Sainsburys wotsit will be up on youtube before long after release anyway. I'm partial to a steelbook, they tend to accrue value and some of the plastic basic blu-ray cases are as fragile as hell anyway.

I bet the tesseract / cosmic cube in that 10-disc suitcase colllectors set is not as bright as that CGI animation depicts. I'd like to see a proper real-life photo of the suitcase and the cosmic cube.

Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 6:28 PM
@SimyJo i like those and appreciate you showing them to me, but usally those on't have as many features, could beregion locked or are justreally hard to find. I wish us yanks would get the awesome steelbooks europe seems to get for EVERY [frick]ing movie but sadly it didnt turn out that way
SimyJo
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:29 PM
If the 90 min Sainsburys exclusive is in 1080p HD I will get this - otherwise I'll watch it on youtube.

@SimyJo could you possibly add links to those black "A" symbol steelbooks my good man ;)
SimyJo
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:42 PM
@Ha1frican. You are welcome.

The last steelbook I insisted on for myself was the 'Captain America: The First Avenger' one.

That was/is one seriously beautiful bit of packaging;

Sure.

I have 15 bucks in reward zone certificates from Best Buy but I really want the featurette that Target is getting. I will probably end up watching that on youtube unless Target had a good cheap price on it.

Looks good. Now if only UK could get the TITLE OF THE MOVIE RIGHT! all would be great! I refuse to call it that and what if Avengers 2 get's that title? Will they call it that with a 2 in the UK? There never was a 1! ROFL! Just nitpicking of course. Still gonna order it from the US though.

J-R!
