ahhh good to know!
there are a few I definitely want.
Kind of wish I hadn't got the UK 5th Element now lol

Interesting covers. I like the concept of some of them but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I really do dig the Leon cover and since I have skipped out on all other versions as I did not really love the art on those, but this one I enjoy and may have to spring for it if it comes to the US.

I wish they had put more thought into the Easy Rider steel - I would have bought it in an instant if it didn't look like a photoshop newbie pasted two obvious photos over one another. The District 9 steel is nice but I dig my German one more. Dr. Strangelove is really cool but doesn't fit the film, IMO.

Can anyone tell me why Future Shop took these steelbooks of the website, the Taxi Driver one looked awesome.

Yes... don't you worry.
As we said before, someone was just too quick on putting them live in the first place... they'll come back "soon" online for pre-ordering and then release in November...

In the end we decided not to place those titles in store. So we kept the web units low

Damn that low? And when you say "those titles" is it only Easy Rider and Stripes that's web only or all titles from this wave gonna be online only?
