This steelbook looks much better in person.

I think the Best Buy Steel looks cool, too bad it wasn't for the 3D version. Although I kind of like the image being used for the 3D slipcover.

You will not be pleased then.




I'm passing on this and waiting for the inevitable awesome Asian edition with multiple slips, 3D, and fancy sh*t.

There's typically at least one person at any Target or Best Buy that goes in with a cart right when the store opens and grabs all of the copies.

Sometimes there's hope to get a copy of something if I go to the Compton stores, but even that is a crapshoot.
That guy is just pure greedy. I hope BB employees get some guts and stop
him @ cashwrap.

Pulling them is the policy, it's just that some people have said that employees can get lazy and not do it. If I call my store and confirm it it's not gonna do anything for your store. If you wanna be sure, you need to call

Why trash it? Why don't you just give away to someone that could use it? I give mine away all the time.

My copy just arrived a short time ago. As already mentioned, it was in a cardboard mailer, but it had additional cardboard wrapped around it. No dents or scratches anywhere to be found. Can't wait to crank up the sound and watch this tonight.

A couple or few copies is one thing, but one person should not be allowed to buy every single copy of something in a store. That's just plain ridiculous.

Yes you did. Do you always give them away, or do you throw them away? You made it sound like you throw them away all the time.

Finally got lucky after missing out on the online pre-orders, and stressing out over the last several days waiting for the in-store pickup option to return.

Visited another nearby BBY, and they had around 5 preorder cards remaining, and my eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. So I took one, rang it up at CS using a $10 BBY e-Gift Card (thanks to Bing Rewards/Swagbucks), and paid the remaining amount of $11.19 for the steelbook.

Even asked the CS rep for assurance that my preorder will be placed to the side later today/early tomorrow before store opening, and she said it goes in the system right away, so they'll work on separating all preorders later on, including mine. I will be there at 10am regardless, just in case. But I'm so relieved that I was able to at least guarantee a spot for the steel.

Oh, and I already redeemed my CinemaNow code, linked to my UV account , and it streams with no problem!
