Just figured I'd add that if everybody doesn't already know.

I believe Amazon has the best pricing so far on this. It's 16.96 plus if you order the 2 disc Donnie Darko you get an additional 5 dollars off. Pretty good deal in my opinion.

I did the same for Appleseed and for the long out of print Akira in the metal case.

At least one ebay seller makes mention of the metal case:
"The Boondock Saints barely got released in theaters, but it's become a cult phenomenon--enough of one to warrant a Special Edition in a fancy metal case. The extras will certainly appeal to hardcore fans, particularly the lengthy deleted scene of Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus naked as they talk to their mother on the phone--a scene that only compounds the movie's schizoid homoeroticism. In addition to a number of shorter deleted scenes, there are a handful of goofy outtakes, the original trailer, filmographies, the complete screenplay, and--most interesting of all--two audio commentaries: A surprisingly down-to-earth and self-effacing one by writer-director Troy Duffy, which makes for a much more interesting listen than the pompous self-congratulation all too common to such commentaries; and one by revered comedian Billy Connolly, who plays hitman Il Duce in the movie. Connolly's musings range widely, taking in not only the making of the movie but also his own life and entertaining philosophical notions."

Cool. This movie showed up at my house through Netflix, and I couldn't remember why I would have added it. One viewing threw it to the space reserved for my favorite movies.
This will be a definate buy for me, as soon as I can afford it.

I get picky on these things and it's good to have an insider put a non-nicked one away for me.

Steelbook is the only company that markets them with the name STEELBOOK. It's a trademark name. In premiere magazine it show's the picture and underneath it says "New 2-Disc Unrated Special Edition with Collectible Steelbook(tm) Packaging"
- Digitally Remastered High Definition Picture
- Exploding in 5.1 Dolby surround Sound
- 2 Disc Set inlcuded awesome deleted scenes and outtakes.
For $16.96 on Amazon I was planning to buy it ANYWAYS so this steelbook add has me even more excited.
Here is an interview with Troy Duffy by the way that was posted on IGN today:
