Just seen this on the blu-ray site and wondered it's true, so far i'd read that it's the same has the canadian version with 4 disk's but no purchase link yet. so if anybody could shed some light on this would be great.

its a great looking SB

The only Best Buy within range doesn't even have a clue what's going on. If I hadn't pointed it out, I doubt they would even know the display is up for this. They do not have any copies out, and I don't know if they are just boxed up in the back or still in transit. They're so clueless, it probably makes no difference. They'll most likely rot in a box somewhere and an employee will un-box them at Christmastime and say, "Duh, what are these?"

I stopped by 3 BB's yesterday and none of them ad received there copies yet.. I was surprised bc they all released the WB steelbooks way before they were set to release.. O well I will make a stop at atleast 2 of them on my way home.. I should be able to get one.. If I don't I still have the HMV SB ordered

Yeah, if Best Buy actually had their stuff together, they'd sell way more copies of these...and there would be a lot less hassle for most of us folks in the know.

As of now, it's like deciphering a bunch of tea leaves to get answers...

I picked up a couple last night. There are many many more at my store.

Here is the one I opened.

Just checked with my store. Computer doesn't say they are in stock, but the associate nicely checked for me and found them in the back.

Hopefully they are out on the floor when I go after work.

AP, LOL

Is Paramount or Disney the rights holder to this. Paramount is on the side, but Marvel is owned by Disney and the fact that it is Viva which has been fairly Disney exclusive. I know they have some sort of agreement but I forget how this is working.

Also the movie is coming with a superset of discs with a digital copy (likely Itunes, YAY) and the Soundtrack which seems to be a Disney centric thing.

Just curious as I am hoping for a manufacturers coupon around release time!

For the people who are having problems with BB employees finding these, just call in to the store or go in and give someone the SKU number to look up:

Doesn't it have to do with iron man? That's why paramount is displayed if I recall... hoped that helped....

 

[apsmith21]

Disney bought the rights from Paramount to distribute this title.

There may be some agreement that states Paramount gets to keep their logo or whatever, but it's Disney, 100%.

 

[Ricker]

I do not think the case is all that MarvelMarvelMarvelMarveleous. I didn't pick one up for myself. The only US Viva case I did not like.

 

[Drum18]
