Most likely that they're finalizing site details / descriptions and also due to the fact that they (Best Buy) are unaware of my forecasting their sales to rabid DVDTalkers / CAG'ers.

I'm going to say the BB steelbook is 2 discs based (mainly) on the fact that the 2 disc isn't available on their website, leading me to believe this is it. Which would be awesome.

Not sure if this has been posted here, but I got the 1 disc SAG edition in WS and I scooped up the 2 disc DVD as well. Both the 1 disc and the 1st disc in the 2 discer are identical to eachother, with movie previews being on the retail version. So if your looking at prices or whatever, the 2 disc set has all the SF carried over on disc 2 and disc 1 is excatly the same as the single retail R1 release. Only difference is artwork and disc art on both disc 1 and the 1 discer and of course artwork. So people are basically gonna be paying $10 or so bucks extra on a Special features disc.

for those questioning whether or not the steelbook is the two-disc, this is taken from bestbuy.com:
"Limited Edition Steelbook packaging with exclusive package art only available at Best Buy. This Best Buy exclusive contains the 2-disc set, containing over 2 hours of bonus features, including two revealing documentaries on the real-life events that influenced the story of The Departed."
looks like i'll be getting my copy at best buy

Is the BB exculsive just the packaging (steelbook) or does the steelbook have something else with it?
Might just get the 2disc if its that; steelbook might be cumbersome to put on shelves...

THIS SUCKS! I want the HD DVD but I like that steelbox. Damn I just cant justify both. I probably gonna get the HD but i'll wish I had the steelbox on the shelf. It just a tough day for collectors and PQ people.

Wait a minute so just to clarify....this Best Buy Steelbook or whatever it's called is the *ONLY* way to get the 2-disc version of The Departed with the documentrary and stuff? DDD won't be carrying the 2-disc version at all?
