Maybe it's just me, but no one has bought me a movie as a gift since I joined this forum in 2000

My answer is always: "Because I can buy it for less than someone in my family will buy it. I'd rather have a gift card so I can stretch it out with the deals we find here."

I would not expect my family to want to rush out to a midnight release or early first thing at store openings to grab exclusives and such to secure something in limited quantities or in my case even know exactly what to be looking for. I tell my family easy stuff that I know they would have no trouble understanding and that will most likely be readily available now and until December 24th if they wish to get it for me. I know regular versions of the dark knight have more than enough stock that it would be an easy find but some of the exclusives its tough to guarantee they will be around at a later date.

I screwed up. I didn't know that there was an f.y.e near where I live so I missed out on getting The Dark Knight blu-ray steelbook. I'm going to try my luck and see if they have any left in the morning.
I'm wondering though if I should get the Batman Begins/The Dark Knight steelbook on amazon.de. Does anyone know if it's region locked?

I ended up getting the steelbook from FYE
Although, for some reason the plastic on the inside that houses the discs and the booklet was put in backwards, so the discs are on the left side. I'm considering returning it, I'll just have to see if I have the time to do so in the upcoming week.

I just ordered the The Dark Knight Exclusive Joker Statuette and Dark Knight with Exclusive Joker Mask - Blu-ray Disc from bestbuy.com for in-store pickup just incase either of them sells out fast once the store opens.
My store did have a midnight release but wasn't a special event one so I didn't bother going. Also the Dark Knight with Exclusive Joker Mask - Blu-ray Disc shows up $36.99 online vs $39.99 in the weekly ad.

I saw plenty of those head sets at Best buy.. they looked pretty flimsy. The only ones I only saw one or two of were the Joker Mask Blu-ray ones. Other than that there was an overabundance.
My FYE also had quite a few SteelBooks left on the shelf at around 7pm tonight. Looks like they ordered quite a bit extra.

Iv'e got a quick request for anyone that purchased the steelbook at FYE:
The register receipt I received was not printing correctly on the left side, so I can't see the complete address that I'm supposed to mail it to.
Could someone please post what the complete mailing address is??
Thanks...

I'm sure the warehouse it was shipped from was really crazy the day they sent them all out, someone probably grabbed a wrong box, or put a box in the wrong place, or had the wrong shipping labels. Whatever the case, the error probably happened long before it got on the truck, which is probably why the stores went ahead and stocked them. They may not have been expecting them, but it was addressed to them, so it must be right, right?

When I got home and change my order by phone to have it shipped to me. The statuette shipped this morning and the joker mask set is showing in-stock now so should ship soon. The batpod, joker Blu-ray mask set, and the Joker statuette are all in stock now if someone wanted to get them at Best Buy but couldn't find them in-store.

I've always been a little murky on issues when a woman says she did consent but changed her mind at the last minute until this transaction. I thought I wanted it, found out I didn't and before I could stop it, it was over. I've resolved to console myself by remembering Walmart was where I managed to price match Circuit City for the Tropic Thunder director's cut 2-discer a week ago for $6.99, but I still feel very confused about how this payment was processed.

Just a FYI, Bestbuy.com has the Blu-Ray Batman mask and Joker Clown mask in stock again. Even though you can order Joker Statuette but it is in store pick up only and none of the store has it. Nowhere I can find the Batman Statuette online. Maybe BB forgot to put in on their page.

(Doubt they have a additional "at registar rebate" for this one with that $6 off
coupon going around - we can't be that lucky!)
As for this $6 off coupon - is it one that has a direct $6 off or do you also have
to pay something else along with a DVD to get the savings? What kind of mailing
did it come in? The Holiday Gift Guide Catalog? or one of those monthly coupon books?
If it was the Holiday catalog, crud as that hit the garbage by mistake weeks ago.
If it was the monthly one, was it the December 2008 one? If so, we didn't receive
that one here yet. The last coupon books we receive here was November 2008
(no The Dark Knight coupon there) and the post Thanksgiving Day Weekend one.
Wonder if they have any extras of Holiday Gift Guide Catalog and/or the December
2008 coupon book at Customer Service.
Well I'll be stopping by there later - have to use a couple of coupons that expires
tonight - so I'll check on what exactly the 2-Disc price is and hopefully will be
able to find a The Dark Knight coupon too - if so I'll buy it there.
