[quote name='xbox_mole']Disney is caving and anyone who buys the 3D version will be able to purchase the 2D disc for $5.99 via a special offer inside the pack. Likely will require the registration of the DMR code and then offer the purchase via the DMR website.[/QUOTE]
From what I read a similar offer is also going to be included in the 2D combo pack to purchase the 3D disc.
I still ordered the 2D/3D combo pack from Amazon UK for myself, and printed out a coupon for my mother who is bound to want the 2D combo pack for my nephew, thanks OP.
I also printed out a second one just in case the movie goes on a decent sale during release week, making it worth dealing with sending out for a 3D disc. Still not a fan about having to deal with a loose disc, nor with Disney's current direction, but I think they might have learned something this time around I hope.
