You go be the ''world police'' if you don't like it that way... I am not from the US (or an American citizen), but only a few governments can play 'the world police', namely the big, powerful ones. Those are the USA, China and maybe Russia. Europe doesn't count because that's just a combination of many smaller countries/governments.

You rather have Russia or China playing the 'world police' part? :P
No government is perfect, but you get the idea...

Don't want to worry about this all day.

I would assume that they have. What time did you order yours? I placed mine about 1:40 AM. I'm hoping I get an e-mail before the store opens. I intend on being there before opening, since it takes me about an hour to drive there.

Yep, at this point you have to figure your copy has been relocated to the designated in-store pickup area at customer service. There shouldn't be any issue as long as you pick up your copy by closing today.

I placed mine around that same time.

I was suprised to get the confirmation email so early(like 8:15 when the store doesn't open til 10), but I think it's a good sign and I can relax.

Looking for a Best Buy "Zero Dark Thirty" steel please. Had a trade lined up with a member on here but they decided to bale on our agreement without telling me

. Ideally would like to trade for it, there's all sorts in my thread (and I have all sorts not in it).
Please PM.

Edit. ***SOURCED*** many thanks JUTTY.

I'm glad to hear that. I live in the Eastern time zone, but the Best Buy I go to is in the Central time zone. Hopefully I get mine in about an hour.

Nice.

Peace75 · 03-19-2013, 12:45 PM

I just ordered it for store pickup. I got an e-mail saying that it is ready for pickup. In my experience, they do reserve a copy for you.

JohnWayne · 03-19-2013, 12:47 PM

The moment of truth everybody. We shall see who comes out victorious with a steelbook in thy hand.

merchie89 · 03-19-2013, 12:56 PM

If/when you get there at opening, just inform a manager about it. Hopefully they will take action to discourage 1 person hawking all the copies, and post a 1 per customer limit.

extrafuzzyllama · 03-19-2013, 01:01 PM

why is this steelbook going to be so popular that scalpers get involved?

Because it is a true exclusive and limited quantities.

Again, I am only pointing out that if everyone liked the movie they would make it, but since it is a controversial story, the demand won't be great enough to invest in international steelbooks.

I for one am excited to have a TRUE U.S. exclusive.

Agreed, after all the rest of the world gets exclusive stuff about time we get something truly ours. Oddly enough it is a controversial thing but hey whatever.
I wonder if this will be a hot item since we may be the on country to get it. I'm sure we'll see them on ebay for crazy $100 amounts.

So how many has everyone ordered? I ordered two. One for me and one for my buddy that works at Gamestop since he can't be there as he is opening. I think the order limit is 3 for in store pick up. Glad that they limited them that way other people can get them as well.

* Nice, just got my conformation for pick up. And I am in the CST time zone so that other guy that is also in Central should be getting theirs soon as well. *

Thankful for the in-store pickup option... Got to Best Buy the moment they opened doors only to see a scalper sprint ahead and grab the only 4 copies on display.

But they had put your copy aside right?
