Inception BD/DVD Briefcase Gift Set

[halamadrid]

Looks like the briefcase will be available as a U.S. edition sans Steelbook courtesy of WBShop.com. It is available first to Insider members, but I believe that becoming a member is quite easy. WB states that the set will be available for a limited time, and I'm not sure if it will be offered by other retailers. The set looks very similar to other releases in terms of included items. Here's the description from WB:

A WBSHOP.COM EXCLUSIVE! Available in the US only at WBshop.com, this special Inception gift set includes both the Blu-ray disc and DVD of Inception housed in a special metal briefcase. Also included in the briefcase are seven Art Cards, "The Cobol Job Comic,", a replica Spinning Top Totem, and a replica PASIV Device Instruction Manual. Fewer than 2000 are available for purchase in the USA! Details on the exclusive extras:

♦The metal briefcase measures 9 x 6.5 x 2.75 inches.

♦The full-color "The Cobol Job" comic measures 5.75 x 4 inches and is 33 pages long.

♦The 10-page black & white PASIV instruction manual measures 5.75 x 4.5 inches.

♦The full-color art cards measure 5.75 x 4 inches.

♦The heavyweight zinc alloy spinning top totem is 1.25 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches tall.

This item can be gift-boxed. Ships to U.S. Destinations Only.

nice, but where does it says "steelbook"?

These briefcase editions are not rare anymore...I think I'm going to buy the amaray since they seem less common

Can anyone comfirm that it is a steelbook inside?

"This item ships 2 days after you place your order. " ???

I wonder if it'll really ship in 2 days. That would be hella awesome.

[lrienaeds]

I placed my order and my confirmation says that it will ship by 11/15.

[ts0323]

Damn it, now it says ships by 12/7.

Aka the release date.... Did you really think WB, the distributor of the film, would break their own street date by a month?

[mentaltweak]

Ah, I see.

Rudeboy2025- Thanks for sharing your experience. Originally, I was going to do it on the phone but I was able to get the order through just fine. I made the preorder about 45 minutes ago.

Who said anything about Steelbook ...

the post clearly states sans Steebook (sans = without )

[mentaltweak]

Me. Me. Totally getting it.

SapGoblin - I'm doing the same! Will stuff steelbook in from FYE!

[crystal_sun]

Why not order the one from Germany that includes the steelbook...way cheaper route than the US path

If you buy the FYE steelbook and the US briefcase edition = $90.
If you buy Germany steelbook + briefcase = $54

That's true I could get the Germany version but wouldn't they be in German texts?

I looked over both sites and compared the differences:

Germany: steelbook, 2 discs
US: amaray, 3 discs, 33 pages comic

From what I see, I assume both has artcards, 10 pages black & white PASIV instruction manual and totem and of course, the briefcase.

I can always sell the amaray for like $20. So it'd come out $70 (minus shipping)... not that much of a deal or too expensive but it's something I can live with. XD

My order went through but I never got an e-mail and it doesn't show up in my order history. Same thing happened to my other order! WTF!

Their site is messed up based on what others are saying. I put mine in a few minutes back though and everything appears to be in order. Got the email confirm as well.

where do you find it for $54 US? amazon.de price comes out a little over $65 based on current euro/dollar rates...

40 EURO convert to $54 USD.

I hope the US folks buy it from FYE....we need to show FYE that US loves steelbook...gotta support the US economy. I already ordered both...but might cancel the Germany one

Wholeheartedly agreed!

Great sale=more steelbooks, more likely.

I was considering posting the info here but the email was for WB Insiders only... wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible... which wasn't that long.

[Trekkie313]

Definitely gonna nag my father to buy this.

[ts0323]

Too bad none of the codes for on pre-orders, just FREESHIP.
