$40? Awesome Deal you got their buddy.

I still remember buying it for $30 in 2006.

bdubby

thanks man.


anyone else a little bumbed about the lack of major steelbook announcements?

JAYARE

yes. whats going on? its probably because fye has tons of extra copys of all the steelbooks they had last year.

bdubby

possibly...but they're missing out...hell, Max Payne wouldve been awesome as a steelbook. (havent seen the movie, but it wouldve looked cool)

i'm hoping for a Punisher: War Zone steelbook.


so far the only releases we know of are the massive amounts of First Looks, plus the amazon.com exclusive Bond blu rays.

JAYARE

at leas my wallet is getting a rest

Here's something to cause a stir.

Yesterday, the local Best Buy had tons of copies of the steelbooks of

All Die Hards
The Departed
The Bourne Ultimatum
X-Men 1.5 and 2
Man On Fire
Planet Terror
Death Proof
Platoon

Today I go in to buy some and none were to be found. Was gonna pick up some for trades and what not for some of you. I asked one of the sales clerks and he said that they were ordered to pull all of them. He couldn't give me a reason why. Anyone have any kind of explanation?

I did find one copy of The Departed stuck behind a bunch of copies of Incredible Hulk. Picked it up since I had been meaning to.

I was hoping for these:


...but I think am asking for too much and the studios are not that cool!

bdubby

aw, damn, the back to the futures would have been great as R1 releases (or one release with all three films like the one from R2)

mr. b_dvd

They are labeled "Special Packaging."

Here are the UPC's for them:

The Contract ($9.21): 687797119643
(Yeah, the SteelBook is cheaper than the regular one)

Paris Je T'aime ($13.49): 687797116222
(It shows the wrong cover art, but that is the UPC for the SteelBook).

You can see under the Special Features Tab that they are labeled Special Packaging.

You can also compare the UPC from other sites that label them as SteelBooks to find them off DeepDiscount since they don't have them all labeled as such.

I'm actually kind of relieved. As someone else said about their wallet, it was getting to be kind of tiring rushing to Best Buy of FYE early in the morning, sifting through hundreds of copies to get the perfect one.

I agree, Max Payne would have been an awesome choice, and I definitely would have picked it up. I'm hoping/expecting steelbooks for:

Quantum of Solace
Wolverine
Terminator: Salvation
Transformers 2

Looking ahead, those would be nice.

you could buy a cheap region free dvd player and start importing.

Is somebody looking to trade The Contract Steelbook or A Guide To Recognize Your Saints Steelbook?

OldBoy

just get the R2 BttF and wait for the R1 UE and then swap. that is what i am doing to have a premuim R1 BttF SteelBook.

OldBoy

this could explain the lack of titles announced. FYE stores (the main supply line for our glorious steelies) seems to be going belly up. didn't read the whole thread, but probably why we haven't and may not here about super upcoming...

I was in a Best Buy today and they had ELEVEN copies of the steelbook version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They also had a bunch of Bourne Ultimatum (but they all do), and they even had two steelbooks of Death Proof.

mr. b_dvd

I'm surprised you haven't gotten flamed for asking this yet. There is a Trade Section for asking such a question. The Section is title DVD Exchange.

If you want, shoot me a pm. I might be able to help.

hindolio

although its hard to tell what stores are okay in this economic climate, i dont believe there has been any definitive news about fye going under. yet, at least.

true a bunch of em have been closing recently, but it seems fye has been closing stores for years now

It is CONFIRMED from the Bestbuy.com Website that the Paris Je T'Aime SKU 9053766 for $4.99 is the SteelBook™ version, unless a standard version has been released with the same SKU. I compared the SKU from the website to a previous receipt. It is also advertised in this week's Best Buy USA ad.

NiCK Crush

picked up my copy today

so awesome.

tommykb127

picked up mine today, last copy there though

x3bowens

Went to my local best buy and they had 4 to choose from. Surprisingly they were all in good shape. Picked one and made out with a great deal on a steelbook.

OldBoy

but, do you guys have any interest in the actual movie at all?

tommykb127

yeah I actually saw it in theaters and really enjoyed it, it's a great date movie

lectersvictim

Went to three targets in NY today and they did not carry A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (Steelbook Edition) that was released today. I thought it was strange since they have carried all of the other ones from First Look Studios...

Willo007

For some odd reason Target also did not carried the "Strays" steelbook.

No Best Buy in Wisconsin had the Guide to Recognizing Your Saints steelbook available in the stores. Online only.

Had to ordered mine through Amazon's market place.
