Canada only right now. the US BB site doesnt have it listed at all but the Canada BB site has it. so weird

Naw, you're not crazy, I actually have both pre-ordered too. I'm also getting the HD-DVD version. I'm the one that needs help. >_>

BTW, it seems to me you need a little encouragement. C'mon, order them both. You know you wanna.

IMHO, that helmet is pretty dumb, kind of like that silly mask they put out with Vendetta last year, but a steelbook......now that's something that piques my interest.

Will there be any domestic availability of a steelbook, or will it just be a bilingual Canada-only item...eh?

300 in Tin casing. One damn hot item to own!

Even in jest, that's just "wow".

Thanks Paris!

Here's hoping this will be an easter egg on the 2-disc set.....

Fingers Crossed...

Yea, I'm over the whole special packaging steelbook, tin, etc, etc, etc. In fact I think I made a comment about one and was informed that it was NOT a tin but a Steelbook. Whatever, they are just a gimmick now.

The helmet is what I want!!!!!

:thumbsup:

Why do I have this dreaded feeling that us US people are going to get shafted with no Best Buy helmet....Why do they hate the USA so much??

Well, Canadians got shafted on the V for Vendetta Best Buy exclusive with the replica mask, so it's only fair ;)

Now just hang on, I don't even see any 300 DVD available on Bestbuy.com yet. Give them some time. :)

No cool packaging and missing features available elsewhere. Blu-ray is going to have to throw in a BJ for me to buy this.

Can't identify with the need for the helmet, but to each his own. Now the steelbook I will take, but I'm not going to order from Canada or pay any extra money just for it. Maybe BB or Target will put out a special package with a bonus disc or something.

Oh yea? My BB still has a bunch of those white elephants lying around if you want one....

rotfl

Or at least a nice reach-around....

I think I may camp outside of Best Buy for this DVD when it comes out. lol

anybody have a upc code for the hd-dvd

I've pre-ordered the region 3 steelbook with artwork booklet from cdwow, their release date is 2 weeks earlier aswell.

The HD-DVD has some pretty sweet exclusive features :

arner Home Video is planning to push the boundaries of high-def technology with the July HD DVD release of '300,' which is set to include the world's first "blue screen" picture-in-picture commentary.

Warner first announced '300' in early May for a July 31 release on both Blu-ray and HD DVD, with initial specs including an In-Movie Experience video commentary track (exclusive to the HD DVD version).


Though IME tracks are common to many HD DVD releases, '300' will be unique in that it will include what Warner is dubbing the first-ever "Blue-Screen Picture-in-Picture Version." Throughout the track, director Zack Snyder will present the pre-CGI-enhanced version to the finished film, allowing viewers to compare the entire movie in both rough and completed forms.

The HD DVD will include several other additional exclusive features, including the "Vengeance and Valor" interactive game, a "Pick Your Favorite Scenes" function allowing users to assemble clips and create a unique montage, as well as other web-enabled downloadable features to be announced.

Sweet! Another reason why I'm glad I have my HD-DVD player :thumbsup:

"Web enabled downloadable features." I can't wait to see what they do.

Wow! So many exclusives! Someone care to list them all?

what the frick! I get an email from Amazon stating that preorders for 300 were up .... uh, where?
