I will let you know how many zdt I see, but I am guessing a good bit. Person I know there said he did not know for sure how many copies they got, but they should not be short on supply.

Spider-man grossed 262m and dark knight rises did 448m in the U.S. Zero Dark Thirty did 95m and is a very US-centric movie. If I was a marketing guy at Sony/Columbia or Best Buy, I "probably" won't produce nearly as many of Zero Dark Thirty as those two other movies.

If you spend enough money at BB the employees don't ignore you and it is easy to make friends.

Not taking any chances tomorrow, will be there when doors open to snag a copy.

cpstevens · 03-19-2013, 12:14 AM

I'll have to wait until after school tomorrow to pick this up. I'll call from the bathroom and ask them to put one on hold for me

.

Has anyone seen the artwork (aside from the front)? I'll pick this up no matter what, but from the picture I'm not a big fan of the front.

Me too.

solarrdadd · 03-19-2013, 12:24 AM

i see now that you cannot pre-order with "ship to store" for any version of this movie even the dvd version. the online site is only shipping to your house.

i'll just pass on the 100 points. since i can't pre-order the steel, no problem, i'll just be at the store when it opens to pick one up in person.

all versions say "coming soon" for store pick up and the steel version says coming soon for "everything" as you cannot even pre-order it (the steelbook) to ship to the store or your house.

oh well.

i'm ordering Gears of War Judgment because i'm a member of the unlocked gamers club and i'll get 1000 RZ points just for pre-ordering the game.

i did for Dead Space 3 and got my $20 in RZ points last week!

i'll be there when they open the doors to make sure i get that steelie!

Same here

lol cpstevens, I do the same thing at work sometimes if it's not break time

Outlaw1986 · 03-19-2013, 12:32 AM

Dang it, I got to go to work tomorrow but I'm ordering one for in store pickup as soon as it becomes available. They better not sell my copy or else...

henry00x · 03-19-2013, 12:34 AM

Hey if I get there right when they open and it turns out that they have like 4,925,731 copies, that will be ok with me

I actually still look for a Salt Steelbook just about every time I'm in there

ZooTv · 03-19-2013, 12:58 AM

Hopefully nobody misses out because someone decided to clean out the entire limited allotment solely for resale.

I plan on trying to get 6 copies so I hope no one looks at me funny. They're definitely not for resale

Travman93 · 03-19-2013, 01:13 AM

The first steelbook that I've had to create a legitimate schedule for.

Get out of class at 10:10, doors open at 10:00. Grab my steel, go home, and then return to Best Buy at 2:00 to go to work. Needless to say...

That had me rolling on the floor, until I flashed back to my time in school and realized there where no mobile phones, and I'd have to insert a quarter into the payphone to call Best Buy, to have my copy held. Then I realized there was no Best Buy, or blu-ray technology, nor dvds.
Gheeesh...now I'm bummed out!
