Default Question for New Yorkers

Firstly, Sorry if I put this in the wrong section, didnt know where to post it.

My sister is going to New York in a week and I asked her if she could look for some steelbooks and she said I should give her a list of some sort.
Now my question is if a New Yorker could give me some sort of list of the steelbooks there are still available in Best Buy. Or if someone could give me a indication of what to find. You would help me a lot.

With regards,
SBLWD

If you're looking for Blu-ray Steelbooks you'll probably only find Twilight: Eclipse. I doubt any BB stores still have V, Salt, or any Disney left in stores.

Just a warning, Steelbooks at Best Buys in NY are almost all dented, dinged up - they are also usually housed in one of thosw security cases and you can't tell until you ask the clerk to open and usually they are dented up anyways.

I've had only horrible luck w/ Steels in NY.

As others mentioned, they're extremely hard to find. But sorry, I can't say more, I haven't been at a BB in a while.

What you could do is look online and then see if they're in stock at a specific BB store in the City.

If the clerk even knows what a Steelbook is. Sorry, but I've asked Clerks before and they're clueless. It's better to say "exclusive BB version" or give them the SKU.
