COOL! I didn't know it came with a handgun!

I'm starting to think I may dump this thing and just get a regular case one. If this case breaks, you're screwed. You'll have to put the disks in a regular case with no insert.

I don't know how limited the Autobot and Decepticon steelbooks are in the US, but here (in one of my local Future Shops) there were at least 40 Autobot and 40 Decepticon steelbooks. I ended up getting the Autobot one, because the classic Autobot insignia seemed more attractive than the comparatively less-detailed Decepticon one. Seemed like there were quite a few cases with loose discs inside, though.

I pick up the Target exclusive 2-disc this morning. They have about maybe 20 or 30 copies on display. When I went to the checkout one of the Target employee bought 3 copies of them, maybe he going to ebay 2 of the copies I guess.

I looked at it this way when I was going to buy it, I don't care about the 2nd disc. I'll put up the unrated edition around the time the second one gets into theaters.
Plus I'd rather get the mp3 player with the single disc than a double disc set with a transforming dvd case that I'll have no use for.

I was happy to get it but ticked because I reserved this back on 9/18. They didn't call me either about the dvd coming either. :P

It wasn't easy, but I netted my 2 steelbooks from FYE. First off, I made the mistake of not pre-ordering, because I figured the one at Rockefeller center here in NYC would have a shitload just as long as I got there early.
I planned to stop by during my lunch break, but of course my boss and fellow co-workers decided to pick today to finally have the argument that was 10 years in the making. So, I basically had to stay around to smooth things over between the involved.
I finally get to FYE in the city and of course I see none....shitloads of reg. 2 disc/1 disc, but no steelbooks. I asked the clerk if he has anymore, His answer is no and that they all went in a matter of an hour.
I then call my GF and ask her to call the one in Queens, that is relatively close to my apt. She calls me back and says that they have them and the clerk put 2 aside for me (What a guy). I finally get there and of course the guy has 2 of the reg disc put aside and says the guy who took my call must have sold them.....After a few seconds of BEING Pissed, I see they still have a Decepticons steelbook on the shelf and then ask the clerk to see if there's any other autobot ones, Thankfully there was. Jenga!

On an interesting side note, Bill Hunt reported today that Paramount and DreamWorks have admitted that high definition audio was not included on the HD-DVD because there wasn't enough space on the HD-30 disc. He pointed out that Blu-ray would have permitted it.

I'm suprised Target got the transforming gift card back in for this, it came out and sold out about two months ago. I still have a buck on mine from when I purchased it.
