*Only includes the 3D Blu-ray version on disc and UV digital 2D copy. The 3D disc does not offer playback on a 2D only system* This has been confirmed by me

Since Bainbridge's_Stache hasn't posted next week's BBY ad in the Hot Deals thread yet, I figured I'd go ahead and show this.

I believe that FS in Canada is getting the same release. Supposedly (according to confirmation in the FS Forums) it's 3D only. That means it's just 4 discs so it might be a slim (Not Jumbo like the UK version could be) release. J-card on BBY page just says Blu-ray 3D and UV DC. The other two discs are bonus content I believe

Nice find! Looks like I'll be heading to BB next Tuesday!

Hmmm..wasn't expecting that. I've had the UK steelbook on preorder from Amazon for months now at like $35, but I'll probably just pick this up now. I'm buying the 2D statue edition from Amazon US anyway so I'll have both versions of the Blu-Ray.

I went ahead and ordered it for In-Store pickup. I'll check and see if they grabbed the right thing and hopefully can pick up the steel (if it really came in and not a Jumbo) and there are still some around.

That's a good idea. I might switch my 3D statue edition to the 2D(much better coverart), and get this for the 3D.

It's def. a crap shoot!! What's worse is when they haven't even picked it up yet even though you get the email that it's ready.

My store's manager and I know each other way to well because of all the in-store pickup issues I've had in the past.

Hot Deals Thread was just opened and it's there also!!

Hmm I'd be interested in this, but I don't want to take the gamble that they will do this for the second and third films.

It doesn't exactly list the steelbook as extended edition.

The gold lettering above The Hobbit says Extended Edition. It's clearer here.

[Bill Clay]

It says "Extended Edition" right above "The Hobbit" on the cover. It's just blurry, but it looks like the ones other countries are getting.



While the ad says "3D + Blu Ray + UV", the cover just says "3D + UV"...which scares me.

[dfoles]

Yes!!! Don't have to import! Still wondering how many discs this'll have!

Great, Just got through ordering it, now the only problem is deciding if should I keep my Amazon.com 3D version if perhaps the steelbook doesn't come with all the discs that the standard 3D version has.

I wasn't planning on buying the extended edition since I got the UK SteelBook of the theatrical cut.

But I know I'm weak-willed when it comes to Steelbooks.

Ur not the only one. I'm addicted to steelbooks as well.

Why does that picture say "3-disc EE" on the front, then proceeds to list 4 discs on the back?

Can't make any guarantees, we just got these in today.
