Per Laura, Admin @ FS Forum:

"The rest of the series is expected to release starting this summer in collectible SteelBook packaging exclusively at Future Shop!"-digitalbabe

Thanks to fan_of_gaming for this info...

so I was browsing the new Futureshop flyer for next week (starting April 15th) and there is an interesting blurb next to the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Futureshop exclusive steelbook. It reads: "Start your collection with this global exclusive edition, only available at Futureshop, with a special cover that you won't find anywhere else in the world. Stay tuned for the entire series to come in steelbook!"

That quote is straight from the flyer, and as I see it a confirmation that Futureshop will be getting the entire Harry Potter series in steelbook. Whether it is exclusive or not remains to be seen and release date & pricing I also do not know at this time.

Probably the other faces to match deathly hallows 1. That would be my guess.

Meh I am not a fan of releasing old movies as a steelbook that most people have already.

I refuse to double dip.

I think there are exceptons to every rule and this is an exception. Especially after the crud we've been served up with in UK by way of HP steelbook.

Somebody get me these ....... please.

This would be awesome, I just wish I knew when they were going to start releasing these so that I can save up.

 

[digitalbabe]

I'll definitely be staying tuned-I hope they have an Exclusive set with their own art!

 

[Shanester]

I wonder if I should get this one now or wait for the whole set release
