BB cracking down on pre-order no shows???

[SapGoblin]

So I know alot of people were getting the Snow White & Up steelbooks at Best Buy and not actually getting the movies there...either paying $7.50 for the empty case, or returning the movie w/receipt but not the steel.

If what I just found with their District 9 exclusives becomes the standard, it will make it much harder to obtain JUST the steelbook w/future pre-orders:

I was going to try and get the BB exclusives that come with the District 9 pre-order AND the steelbook from Futureshop...but I just got off the phone with the "inventory manager" at my local BB:

And he says the District 9 pre-sale exclusives are NOT working the same as the past 2 exclusive steelbook advances (Snow White & Up), but rather- you go in and put $5 down and when the movie comes in, pre-sales will include the litho and dogtag on the day of release!

Would have thought this was just like Up and Snow White, go in and pay your $5 to get the exclusives TODAY and put money down towards the movie for its own release day!
