Hey guys,

I havent been to Best Buy in a while, do they still stock the 2 disc exclusive tin that they used to offer? I know its on their site, but id rather get it in store.

I saw several at the store when I was there a few days ago. You can probably use the instore availabilty feature on the website to see if the Best Buy near you has any in stock.

At stores in Durham and Fayetteville, NC there are only the two discs with slipcovers, no tins.

Dabaomb

they didn't have any in the NYC stores about 30 minutes after opening on release day.

i went to my local Best Buy last friday, and they had at least 30 of those tins.

Didn't see them at any of my local ones, but then again i wasn't looking for them, so it's possible i could have found one if I looked hard enough.

Fresno is all out of the tins. I got one of the last ones that they had the first week it came out. All they have now is the regular 2 disc set.

Hialeah store has them still. Or it did yesterday when I passed by the store.

The Valeyard

The store in West Covina, CA doesn't have it.

all gone at my store in e. brunswick, nj. as the others suggested the instore pickup will give you some idea as to availability at your local bb but isn't 100% accurate.

Mr. Cinema

The nearest Best Buy hasn't had any since release day and now only carries the regular 2-disc.

Frustrating. I really like the tin packaging and have been checking random BB's in my area (I drive around OC and LA alot for work) and so far I'm coming up empty. None of the OC stores I've visited in the past week have had it. I doubt I'll pay a premium via Ebay, though. If I can't find it, I may finally just get the standard 2-disc set. (Slighty OT, but Costco has a Scorsese Collection that includes Mean Streets, Goodfellas two-disc, Aviator two-disc, and Departed two-disc for $42.99). It's not a tin, but still a great deal for somebody that doesn't own the other titles.

Does anything special come in the tin, or is the tin the only thing special about it?

leest3

Yeah, I went to the BB on 86th and lex during my lunch hour (I normally do this with limited releases, because if I go after work, they are usually sold out) on release day, and they only had a few left.

fernsita

yea...what's so special about this tin?

TheMovieman

It's not a "tin" per se (like Oldboy), it's the Steelbook packaging... It looks great but if you're looking for something exclusive, there are only mini-poster cards (which I could care less about).

It's not reliable!

SilverDreams

I can vouch for it not being reliable. The web site told me last week they had this in stock at the Pasadena, Ca store. And I get to the store to pick it up and they had the regular two disc set waiting for me. It seems that both items have the same ID in the system and it doesn't differentiate between the two. So the web site will say it's in stock most likely.

hiccup

Most stores by me sold out of it the first week of release. I only managed to go on a Thursday, but by then there were only a few left in store. I managed to get the last good condition (i.e. the others were scratched, etc.) tin that they had. They told me that they were expecting another shipment, but that it never came in-stock. I really need to find another since I promised my friend I would get him one. Now I'm sort of scrambling.

tasog37

My stores still had a good supply of them of still a week ago, when I was there for the Warner two disc sale/glitch.

I have it and I love it. I'll take a picture of it when I get home in two hours and post it, it's so cool looking.

bgmat58

i was in bb on friday and they still had a few copies. austin, tx

Just buy your Departed tin from bestbuy.com and be done with it.

Saves you time and money for gas.

Sabrett

Mine was sold out the first week. I haven't seen it anywhere since then.

smashthesymbols

I wouldn't recommend that. I don't see it here this thread, but I think in another people mentioned ordering it online then going to the store to pick it up and being given the regular 2 disc, not the steelbook. Apparently as far as Best Buy is concerned it's the same item.
