Re: Steel Books at Future Shop

For all the Americans complaining, isn't there a chain that carries most, if not all, the steelbooks that FS does. I don't remember the name of the chain, it's an abbreviated name, but I remember being in one of their stores a couple of years ago on a trip down there, shortly before Transformers was released, saw an ad in the store, thought it looked cool, and I ended up picking up almost the exact same looking steelbook at FS.

Re: Steel Books at Future Shop

You're talking about F.Y.E....they only do DVD Steelbooks (and they're overpriced). Also, they don't carry all of the steelbooks Futureshop offers, you know?

 

I'm not complaing, I just don't want to get price gouged on (competitor) for the one that I buy.

Re: Steel Books at Future Shop

Hi Ian,

 

Great work on these awesome titles you are getting in Steelbook, but do you know if there is any chance on a Dances with Wolves blu ray anytime soon? Maybe even an FS exclusive steelbook? This has got to be one of the greatest movies ever made. Im not sure if there is an north american release date yet as this release has been pushed back over 2 years now.

 

Just thought i'd mention it.  This thing would fly off the shelves! IMO

One more thing,

 

The Hangover is now on the FS site with release on the 15th of December.  Any chance that this is the steelbook?

Re: Steel Books at Future Shop

Quick question here,

 

Why is FS not listing Steelbook in the description anymore ?

As an example, I wanted to pre-order Transformers but could not find any indication as to which one was Steelbook or not.

The only way I found out was to add to the basket, and it would add the Steelbook as a separate item. Adding Steelbook in the title would also save time by searching as a keyword.

As well, is there a post that lists the expected dates of the various future releases ?, I could not locate any.

 

Thanks

The links for each Disney SteelBook™ will go live, one week prior to release day.

Disney Steelbooks are not a problem, there's a dedicated link, well exception made of Snow White which was a total fiasco as far as I am concerned, but Sleeping Beauty worked fine on the pre-order.

Leaving Disney aside, how do we get the availability dates for the others like Public Enemies, the Hangover, etc...

I believe that Ian said that Paramount was slow in placing the order for the Steelbooks for FutureShop, and the only way we could have the Steelbook on release day was to have them as two seperate items. All of the others should be like the other ones. If there are any issues/problems, i'm sure Ian will let us know ahead of time.

Re: Steel Books at Future Shop

Does anyone know if FS will be having G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra in Steelbook?

Saw this advertized in the US and was just wondering if this was also being considered here by FS.
