I picked up a copy of the Appleseed steelbook with book at a local Bestbuy (Canada). All of the ones left had these cuts on the shrink wrap and some went into the steelbook. I had to settle for one with a minor nick on the steelbook itself..

I'm not sure if it's the same as the US one, but the lack of french might indicate that..

The book itself seem pretty thin.. I was expecting to be the size of a manga..

FYE Exclusive Steelbook - CloverField
 

Another F.Y.E. Steelbook Exclusive - Cloverfield.

$19.99 (possible $5.00 rebate) ***Unconfirmed***

Release date - April 22, 2008.

Been discussing it in the Cloverfield thread. There's definitely a steelbook for it from what I've heard, but the coverart and price are not confirmed.

If Future Shop or anywhere in Canada does not receive the "Sweeney Todd" steelbook or the "Cloverfield" steelbook, I would definitely be willing to pick up copies and trade them for Future Shop exclusives. Very interested in "Bee Movie" and "Ocean's Thirteen" if anyone is interested in doing this with me.

Future Shop's link to I Am Legend Steelbook is back online.

I Am Legend Steelbook

I checked out the Cloverfield thread.. How confirmed is it that it will be a R1 release and is FYE currently taking pre-orders? A couple of weeks ago, I drove almost an hour mostly to pre-order Sweeney Todd to find the clerk was clueless on it.. Luckly my friend went the next week and got my two pre-orders down..

Hmm, this may explain why none of the Best Buy (USA) stores have the comic book.

Quote is from another Steelbook forum.

Wow, i'd kill for a Cloverfield steelbook! Such an awesome movie! Futureshop please acquire the steelbook rights for this!

Hopefully we'll get more news when the regular editions of Cloverfield is solicited on FutureShop's website..

I wonder why the Canada to US steelbook ratios? Last year it was a landside on Canada's end.. This year is starting to look the same also with Bee Movie and Battle Star.. It's a good sign breaking even with Beowulf and I Am Legend release across boarders..

I wonder why studios don't generally share the love and make steelbooks more widely available for more releases and on both side of the boarder..

I guess can't complain as I live in a place where I have the option to go down to US where there's a BestBuy and FYE to get my US steelbook fix if I need to..

I thought this DVD was coming out next week; unfortunately, when I found out this wasn't the case yesterday afternoon, the BB exclusive edition was completely sold out at both of the BBs I visited. Can anyone help me with securing a sealed copy? :fc:

Hi. If you're in the US, your in the same boat as other customers mentioned in the BestBuy thread..

If you're in Canada, you can still order it through the Bestbuy.ca website and for me, it's still available in the 4 Bestbuys in my area.. Though, it's $12 more than the US price for it..

O.T.

People in Canada can get three Blu-ray movies for $9.99 + FREE Shipping. Go to the Columbia House Thread.

Nobody's willing to pick up a Steelbook or two for me? :(

johnsun & scott1598:
Thanks for the FYI and link. I'll check BB after work to see if they received any additional copies with the booklet attached; if not; I'll call the phone number that Paul1957 provided.

The steelbook w/ the BB bonus.

I am almost 98% positive that I saw Appleseed: Ex Machina steelbook at Wal-Mart. And the Dune steelbook was there too.

US stores that carry the Appleseed Ex Machina Steelbook were:

1. T.W.E.C. (With Free Poster)
2. Wal-Mart Stores

and Best Buy!

The best buy near me in houston has Appleseed Ex Machina with the book.

Question for those who pre-ordered Sweeney Todd. Does your receipt make any mention of it being a steelbook? The guy told me it was a steelbook but it just says Sweeney Todd-WS on my receipt. The number below it is 400246651842. Every other time I've pre-ordered a steelbook, it mentions it so I'm not sure if the guy screwed up or not. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, mine says "SE STE" and has a different number (0000000000000000400250601123). I would go back in and talk to them.

did you happen to see that little reservation piece of paper he filled out? if he specifically wrote "steelbook" on that, you should be ok. otherwise, i would go back yep.
