The FYE exclusive is a strip of 3 film frames in a cardboard frame.
I didn't check to see if it was different frames on each package, or if they were all the same.
The cardboard frame is about the same size as a DVD case, about 1/8 inch thick.

I didn't fight it as it was still a great deal and there was 3 or 4 people in line behind me at that point.

This may have already been posted. In the new issue of Rolling Stone, the one with the aging Led Zeppelin on the cover, there is a coupon for $10 off when you buy the At World's End Blu-ray plus one of the previous Pirates on Blu-ray or the video game.

That's what I did, though at BB. They didn't even scan the UPC, just manually entered a $10 credit. Someone else said they got it to work at Wal-Mart, but YMMV.

Finally picked up my copy of the Futureshop exclusive steelbook last night. It was the regular 2-disc with slipcover shrinkwrapped side-by-side with the free steelbook case (much like Wal*Mart does with their exclusives). I would have liked to been able to see the spine of the steelbook in the shrinkwrap though, because from past experience often the sticker on the spine is applied crooked, but oh well.
Yeah, the steelbook does not look very impressive. The cover art is bland and the whole bottom half of the "steelbook sandwich" is just plain tin with no art. I'm also getting sick of Futureshop's embossed steelbooks, because the embossed border on the front is not necessary and adds nothing to the case. I miss the plain old "flat" steelbooks.
But anyway, I'm glad that it comes with the regular 2-disc case and slipcover. That's what I kept my POTC: DMC release in, and I just have the steelbook for that one stored separate because I hate the tight hubs and the overlapping disc tray. Now that I have the steelbook for the third (for completeness), I'll just do the same.

It does ring up for $4.99 at checkout, but the cashier changed it to $0.00.

Just thought i'd update everyone. Walmart accepted my printed coupon. She rang it up and it read -10$. Nothing better than getting pirates on bluray for $20. I'd recommend everyone to take advantage of this. Well who has a bluray player that is.

I'll go with the movie over something a marketing guy wrote to use up space on an insert.

Just watched the bonus disc and I have to second the fact that the disc is pretty lousy, cannot believe they called it a "limited edition." Even with the 45 minutes of Best Buy content there is hardly anything here, much less than the prior two movies. I can hardly believe that Disney didn't have more footage, I guess we'll get a double-dip later, but shame on you Disney.
