Just found this, it's a Target online exclusive. It seems to be the same as Future shop.

does this mean Mexico has the machine to do G2 now? If that's the case, then we should expect more G2 in the future releases instead of G1....
 

Too funny ben and chip - I also get a kick out of sutti's USA chant!

Rock on peoples - let's hope this is the beginning of something wonderful for US G2 Steelbooks. :oohyeah::oohyeah:

On a side note - seeing that I first reported the shipping confirmation email, my shipments are both stuck in Altanta, GA but still showing Dec 8 for delivery. That's OK, slow is good as long as the steels are not thrown around in the truck, train or airplane. :ohno:

USPS tends to care for the packaging as you have much older folks working there...and they care about job security. The folks look like they are in their 40-60s.

You want to avoid UPS handling steelbook as they are much younger crowds (18-30s) who love to play frisbee and football with the boxes.

Too funny you mention this MayFlower because I was told this exact same thing (OK it was Biscuit) so I am totally sold on USPS right? Well, I went to the Post Office today to mail a package with 2 steelbooks to the UK and I am very proud of my packaging skills. Guess what? That 40-60 years old Postal Worker took the package with the customs declaration and tossed it towards the back window, aiming to get it through the curtain opening. Only thing is he overestimated the weight on the package and threw it too hard and it went high and hit the top wall of the opening. I had never laughed so hard and so much in my entire life looking at the face of that older gentleman. He looked like he was stuck in the middle of long push while sitting on the toilet, cringing and turning red. Priceless. :hilarious::hilarious:

No worries the box is fine thanks to my fine packaging skills ;)

That is a hilarious story!!!
 
LOL...that employee is one of the few black sheep over there :hilarious:

If I was the supervisor and saw that, then I would have walked him/her out and never come back.
