Want to get hold of HMV’s exclusive “The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” Steelbook? Can’t get to an HMV store? You’re welcome…

While HMV have risen from the ashes and are now offering a growing range of exclusive steelbooks, they still don’t have an online retail presence, which means that actually getting hold of the things can often mean lengthy trip to a local (or not local, following many closures) store.

Now, thanks to xtra-vision.co.uk, an HMV joint venture, you can order a copy online with free delivery! So no eBay profiteering, totally legit, for realz.

Pre-order: Xtra-Vision

The last of three epic instalments in director Peter Jackson’s prequel to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy. Set in Middle-Earth 60 years before events in ‘The Lord of the Rings’, the story follows the adventures of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who, at the instigation of the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), suddenly finds himself co-opted into joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help reclaim the lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the clutches of Smaug the dragon (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch). In this film, Bilbo, Thorin and the other Dwarves have unintentionally released Smaug from the Lonely Mountain and endangered the residents of Lake-town. Bilbo has to make a difficult decision when Thorin puts his desire to find the royal jewel Arkenstone before his loyalty to his friends. Meanwhile, Gandalf discovers that the evil Sauron has returned, commanding a horde of Orcs to attack the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo and his friends must fight for their survival as five armies meet in battle. The rest of the cast includes Luke Evans, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly and Christopher Lee.
