2 years ago futureshop release fast 5 steelbook but it was G1, i feel bad for those who bought them and now have to double dip on fast 5 steelbook just to match up with the other steelbooks of fast furious steelbooks

[GreatGreg]

I don't know about you guys, but I don't re-purchase an entire series of SteelBooks just so they will match.

The Future Shop series is nice, but I read that there is no internal artwork. That, and I think I have the last two previous F&F movies on SteelBook already, so I don't plan on repurchasing those.

All in all, I prefer the white release over the yellow one. The SteelBook releases that I know of in Canada are:

(1) Future Shop yellow SteelBook exclusive (no internal artwork)
(2) Walmart white SteelBook exclusive (with bonus Walmart Special Features disc)
(3) Best Buy Canada white SteelBook exclusive (with bonus F&F headphones)
(4) General white SteelBook available at all major outlets (including Cineplex, Amazon, and Walmart!)

I think they are all the same price. You just pick the exclusive that you want the most. I purchased (2) and (3). (3) has yet to ship, but I will likely return one of them. I'm waiting to see what the headphones look like.

But not sure what the Wal-mart Exclusive has to do with the link Pistons provided.

That color is disgusting ! Looks like someone did a badtrip drinking too much Orangina & Tropicana !!

You might be right on the no internal artwork for futureshop exclusives. I heard the BB headphones are the cheap JVC that you can get a dollar store. I'm not a big fan of the floating head and the colors.

Yeah it sounds good, but for me it would have been a difference of around $20. If everything were equal I would have gotten it instead, but the Cineplex deal was too good to pass up.

I ordered the Cineplex deal....$18.99 for the Bluray and a free movie pass was too hard to pass up.....thanks again for bringing that to my attention.

[ultlife2013]

The exclusive is clearly worth the price of admission for the steelbook. No contest.

[danman227460]

I agree. The movie came out to 18.XX on Cineplex. You subtract the cost of the movie ticket at 12.00. I only paid 6.XX for the movie. I don't know about you, but that is a damn good price for a new movie.

For you perhaps, but clearly now worth it to me, and it appears others agree.

No problem, glad to be of some help.

lol it's almost as if those who paid more for something than they should have, need to convince themselves they did the right thing!

So that is only really if you still go to the movie theatre, which I don't, so the movie ticket is not really an incentive to me. Movie ticket pricing is a complete rip-off in my opinion and I truly have a better experience at home.

In fact, I live next door to a movie theatre. I have gone in (without a ticket) purchased the popcorn from them and then went home to watch my movie (and yes I know the popcorn is an even bigger rip-off, but it was a complete experience for me).

I would rather have the exclusive that I prefer, than compromise on that for a cheaper price, but to each his own. I really don't need to justify to anyone else. I have given in to the 'better deal' in the past and have regretted not getting the 'better edition' to save $2-3 bucks.

Agree, it's hard to track what the real deals are when people post non-real self-computed prices that can only be arrived at by pretending handouts are hard currency.

Is such and such movie available for $6? No, but someone said that because of his personal application of funny math.

I agree you don't need to justify your purchase decision. It's your money and your collection. Just as it's my money and my collection. While tickets are overpriced, nothing beats seeing a movie on the big screen. I see matinees so I don't have the issue of people being a problem. But that's me, if you have no use for the pass and care about the extra bonus features than the Wal-mart exclusive makes perfect sense. While I'd prefer the extra disc, it's not worth the $20 to me.

By my calculations, with the scene points & Free pass along with the sale I got it for $3.67

While I understand your point, I've seen people in the past making posts that they got this movie for $5, and come to find out they used points or a gift card for it.

But I have absolutely no problem with people posting deals with 'funny money', as long as they give details about it. It may, or may not, be applicable to me but it might help other posters, and isn't that the whole point of this forum?

While my calculated savings aren't 'hard currency' they aren't 'handouts' either. The passes are real, and I will incur the savings at some point. I know by posting a deal that included 'funny money' helped another poster pull the trigger, because he was unaware of the deal at cineplex.com.

Not to mention that you can basically craigslist the pass or sell it to a friend for at least $10.

Sure, that is an option, but
(1) I am not comfortable selling to friends. I will either give it to them for free, or not give it at all.
(2) I've had too many lowball offers from people online. $10 for a movie pass? I'll give you $5. Not really worth the hassle for me. I would rather give it away to a deserving friend -- so there goes my 'deal'.

Besides, I'm surprised so many of you still go to the theatre. I'm sure many of you have kick-ass HTs (I know I love mine).

After going to the movies for two people (not to mention a family) you might as well blind-buy the blu-ray, notwithstanding deals and prices $10 or less.

I've been back to the theatre maybe once or twice a year and when I am there I am reminded of how the picture is out of focus or the sound is way too loud, and if I miss some key dialogue, I can't rewind it and put on the captions. Not to mention that I can watch whatever I want at 3 AM or when the mood suits me.

I used to be a theatre-goer, but the tickets are overpriced now, IMO.

By the way, I can fall asleep watching my movie with popcorn on my pyjamas in the morning. Can't do that in the theatre!
