Pretty sweet looking

Oh my, that is rather nice isn't it? I wonder if its a tin or just a plate in front or something.

Not sure, but it is one of the coolest cases I've seen in a long time.

UUUUGGGGHHHH · 02-13-2012, 06:57 PM

Best Buy U.S. has this packaging, plus a different version with a different character on the front. I'm sure Future Shop will get that one too.

CIBartowski · 02-13-2012, 09:39 PM

I believe it's just a different slipcase (or maybe slipcover) featuring the House of Stark Sigil.

The DVD version has the Targaryen Sigil.

No tins

AlbusCC · 02-13-2012, 11:14 PM

I want the Targaryan one on blu

PBR · 02-14-2012, 02:11 PM

$64.99 vs $44.99 from amazon.com I'll take the savings vs the packaging

Oh dear. My husband collects swords. He's very jealous that The Big Bang Theory snagged a GOT sword and now it's hanging next to their apartment door and my husband said it's taunting him. So for giggles, I point out the sword every time it is on the screen.

Future Shop dropped their price to $52.99 and Best Buy dropped theirs to $54.99

Even after shipping, still cheaper at Amazon.com for $34.99 + Shipping

Do you have some inside information??

Both blu-ray (standard & Stark case) editions are still $64.99 online at Futureshop

Thanks for any info!

Andrew M · 02-29-2012, 10:37 PM

I find that expensive compared to Best Buy USA that has it for 35 dollars. I would like to pick up the sword though!!! cheers

I find it odd how "exclusives" in one country end up being the same "exclusives" in a different country with a different company. Not so exclusive afterall huh?

From wikipedia

Quote:

Future Shop was purchased for C$580 million by Best Buy on November 4, 2001. The company was renamed Best Buy Canada Ltd.—a wholly owned subsidiary of its American parent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futureshop

In the end it's all the same company.

I posted on the FS forum asking if they would be doing a price drop with USA being $34.99 and on their site its $64.99.

They deleted my post.

...so I guess thats a no.

Yeah they rule that forum with an iron fist. You can't even think of a competitor without getting a warning

But hey maybe you woke them up because GoT blu-rays are now $49.99. Still $15 above US but a step in right direction

Thats a bit better... But still if you order off Amazon.com and ship it to canada, its cheaper.

actually for me, i could drive down to the usa Best Buy and pick up one of these exclusive covers and the cost of it plus gas would be cheaper! haha

Still not sure what I am going to do...
