I'm sure many will be splashing out on this movie (again) Is it matte or will it have spot gloss.. actually, don't answer that one....please.

@zerox39 @Drum18

my FS Pre-order was placed and was told no need to modify but usually FS takes the money a few days before release date and they haven't yet.

I called Customer Service and was told that apparently they don't have the stock in yet which sounds fishy.

I was told even if I order though bestbuy.ca it would still not get shipped.

confusing info

 

[Jaxxx]

So to confirm there is no difference in U.S. vs Canada Best Buy versions? Other than the Canada version still says FS exclusive on the J card?
Same thing with Kingsman?

My future shop order I still haven't been charged and now it says out of stock, so I made a bestbuyorder and it's in stock but no movement. I might have to reserve in store now that I have bestbuys closer to me then a futureshop

Good luck @Leprekon hope it arrives without a hitch...or should I say a whip? Welcome to HDN, btw.

 

[IRON MAN]

LOL @digitalbabe

 

[Leprekon]

Lol thanks @digitalbabe. Looks like it's the only version of the movie not available to reserve. My wife was really hoping for it to show up early like every Friday release I get but not this one.

@Leprekon ah, ok, well, then it's only appropriate then for her to sign up here and let us know how she likes the Steelbook-maybe she can use something like leprekonslave and then we'll know she's with you!

I said it since Day 1 of FS->BB transition: cancel your FS order and redo them on BB.ca. They are closing/switching the system slowly but surely so expect bugs and delay...

I did that (order on BB.ca), and I've been charged for this last Monday and it shipped yesterday.
For Star Trek that is coming out this Sunday, I've been charged Wednesday but not shipped yet...

Oh and last thing, this is WEB ONLY, stores are NOT supposed to have this today...

@digitalbabe - whip LOL

Web only? Hopefully US BB will have them in stores for the inspecting collectors

@digitalbabe honestly she doesn't care about steelbooks, I do lol so I rather get steelbooks if I can for all my movies if I can.

@Drum18 i should have done that but my bestbuy order was charged so I canceled my futureshop order. I have E3 games from futureshop still so I won't be canceling those cause of the big discount but I k ew something like this would happen. It's advertised in the flyer so they should have them in store unless no store has there stock yet

Edit: online only on the flyer now

 

[Actarus]

@Drum18 I hadn't seen your message on that but Thank you. Only reason why I didn't do it is that they shipped my Interstellar FS Exclusive once FS was closed, so I figured it was ok. But cancelled my FS order and replaced it on BestBuy... Thanks for the advice, it is probably the thing to do since now they are having issues with FS orders...

thanks again so much !!!

The Fifty Shades of Grey is not available in store, only can be ordered through the website.
I followed @Drum18 's instructions cancelled my FS order and replaced it on bestbuy.ca it is the best we can do.

Ya I did that but I'm pissed at what's the point of preordering. They should of told people to re order them and if you got it at a cheaper price to call and get it at that discounted price. Between packing and not being released launch day it's stupid. Is this the only steelbook online only or are they all like that now. Mine says shipped May 14. I know it doesn't take that long from Mississauga to ship as I get it same day or next day it's shipped & charged on credit card (unless it's on a weekend)

Yes unfortunately BB works same as FS and it's always been this way, as soon as you see lower price you call it in and they have to fill a form and about a week later credit is applied for the difference... but when in stock to avoid calling and waiting for the credit I just cancel my pre-order and replace it (I ensure that it is still in stock online first) ...but yes there was no issue for interstellar, they shipped but it seems for this release that there is one.

Me too once they take payment 2 days later I have them, but when I called and agent told me they have issue with this stock, it puzzled me: is he just telling me anything cause he doesn't know what to say or is there a real issue with BB not having the stock yet which it would be non sense as I placed my pre-order and have approximate shipping date,,,in any case since it is not available in store, best we can do is just wait at this point we did all we could.

Is all steelbooks online only or was it just this movie? They really want to make all these horny wife's wait for this steelbooks movie lol

no usually only pre-orders are online, after release date it is available in store. But for this specific release they are leaving it only to order online.

Exactly. BUT you can also do a pre-order in store too by bringing to the cash the little flyer normally located in the new release movie display.

I'm pretty sure this release is on-line only as it was a Future Shop exclusive with I guess a distribution "issue".

 

[LoStAlIvE]

Does the steelbook have the Alternate Ending like the other edition? I ask because it does not say if it has or not. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your advice, replaced order on bestbuy and shipped already
