they told me they could, BUT seemed like a lot of work and a crap shoot at best
some thing about finding an address in Canada then adding it to your credit card then contacting FS to add your us shipping address to your FS acccount

After 10 mins of trying to explain it's a Canada Post PO box and they would know how to handle, I just got them to ship to my billing address just to get off the phone with the rep..
Now that you mention it, they do allow US in their address system.. In the same note, why can't I order from Bestbuy.com and have it shipped to Canada to get their exclusives?
Also, now that I look over the changes to my order for the Godfather Collection, looks like they applied the 10% customer appreciation discount to their lowered $49.99 price ($44.49)

Futureshop.ca is inconsistent when it comes to pre-order listings of steelbook exclusive (Last that I remember was the cover art for Terminator Sarah Connors - It took them up to the release date to correct it with the right cover advertised in their site)

Best Buy US will have a "Sex and the City" STEELBOOK!
I have seen it with my own eyes, and yes, it is a steelbook. I'm not quite sure why Best Buy did not mention specifically that it is a steelbook like they did when they advertised "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Maybe it isn't made by the company steelbook, but it certainly is one. Just wanted to give the heads-up to everyone on that. I found this out by speaking to one of the people in the media department at my local store that knows me from all my shopping. I asked them about it and they said that they had just received a cardboard display for next week. I asked if he could show it to me, so he brought one out for me to see.

i've seen the actual steelbook. the carboard cut-out i refer to is the 4-sided display case that will house all dvds that they'll probably place at the front of the store on release day. i didn't see the inside because it was sealed, so i don't know if it says "steelbook." at first i was thinking maybe that's why they didn't advertise it as a "steelbook" because it's not made by the company that makes the trademarked steelbook. but that, i have no idea. and it's definitely not a "b&l" issue. it's the same type of steelbook case we've come to know and love. as for comparing it to future shop's, i don't know because i haven't seen anyone post a pic of that.
eta: ok, went to the futureshop website to see what that steelbook looks like. best buy USA's is completely different. it's all pink as opposed to this which is black with pink writing. futureshop's looks like it might be nicer, especially if the title is embossed or shiny, but i guess the US will have to settle.
eta2: looks like bestbuy.com updated their page to reflect the US steelbook!

If anyone in Canada wants the Best Buy US release of Sex and the City, I can pick them up one and would be willing to trade for a Futureshop Sex and the City. PM me if interested.
EDIT: Also willing to purchase a copy of the Futureshop release from someone via PayPal.

Pink Steelbook? What I'm saying we are talking about Sex in the city. I think I'm going to go for the Black with Pink lettering. My boys will probably still make fun of me for getting it, but I know they would take my man card for the pink version.

Hellsing
Can someone explain the Hellsing deal to me? On DVDAF it shows that the steelbooks are available on several sites, but those sites don't list them as being steelbooks. They just have them as "limited editions" or "special editions." Are they in fact steelbooks? If so, how long do you anticipate them being in print (DD sale, I'm hoping)? I also read that they are being restocked at some stores. Is it worth buying them at a B & M location instead? Also, how is the series on the whole? Thanks.

The standard edition contains the episode on DVD in a keepcase.
The limited edition contains the episode on DVD and an extras disc in a steelbook.
The special limited edition contains everything from the limited edition plus a physical extra. For volumes one and three it's a sculpture. For volumes two and four it's an artbook.
When volumes 1-3 were distributed by Geneon the special limited editions were referred to as just limited editions and what are now the limited editions were retailer exclusives. Funimaion has re-released them and given the standalone steelbooks a wide release hence the confusion.
I have noticed that some websites don't seem to label them properly. My advice is to judge by the prices. The most expensive will be the special limited editions and so forth.
