But if anyone else is looking, here it is.

Any word if this is going to be a US release as well?

None yet. Given that it has "Alliance" on the back, the USA would have to get it's own print run of a somewhat different design.

Doesn't sound too hopeful, IMO.

Im under that impression too, but have noticed they left CA logo and "Made in Denmark" on the best buy WB wave since they didnt wanna change the art. I think an actual studio name tho is a much bigger deal and they would need to change. (esp since Lionsgate usually handles in the US what Alliance does in CA)

3 of these D12 bad boys coming my way. To be totally honest with you, I like the Mocking Jay artwork a little better than this one, but this one seems to have a far greater potential in increase in value. Gonna get 3 copies of Mocking Jay too. BTW, is it just me, or is the flaming ring and bird on the FS version looks much bigger than the UK version? Or am I just seeing things? Lets hope these are online only. I would have much preferred to go to FS myself, and pick out mint copies, than rely on insufficient packaging from FS that may result in damage. The good thing is if that happens, us Canadians can just go and return it.

Although if you look at the backs of the US, CA and UK editions of Sherlock Holmes 2 they each have their own back.
Quite cheap to share a print run and just have differing back plates printed.
Also, does anyone know if both FS editions will have 2 BDs like the US amaray equivalents?

I don't usually do this, so Canadian members, how do we get a price match from Future Shop.

I believe some of you have mentioned that your copies will ship out without the price being reduced sometimes.

Thanks for any assistance.

What I usually do is email customer service and request the price reduction to the lowest price, which is set out in their practices. The last time I did that I received a credit on my credit card for the difference a few days later.
If they give you a hard time, you simply need to point out that it is their obligation to reduce the price as per company policy. I personally haven't had any issues.

Other times, just to be safe I will re-order the product and cancel my original order to make sure I get the lowest price without having to deal with customer service.

Seems like they removed the limit and that they have more than 99 units available...:

Nice! So there are more of the FS exclusive left for pre-order? Interesting as it seems folks like the MockingJay design more then.

 

[biscuitnoir]

This one is embossed guys, pictures to come in a few minutes

I have to admit while both are really nice and this one is more exclusive and the embossing gives it an extra touch the art on the mocking jay version is still nicer to me. So much more happening on it against that black background.

I only ordered the D12 version for myself but if I like the mocking jay version then ill get it in-store. Only keeping one... no double dips, lol.

It's region A locked I'm afraid

(I have a picture of the back but it's blurry, didn't want to share it but it definitely shows region A only)

 

[snooloui]

Such a shame the Mockingjay version isn't embossed. Glad i've gone for the District 12 version thought with it being a little more unique. The English spine on both will please a few members too
