I don't think it has been said but I would say it is a safe bet.

My Dear Americans,

Are you sure this is a Steelbook and not a metal/future crap?

Listed as a steelbook and not metal packaging. They were pretty clear on this with 2 guns as it was listed as metalpak

Hmmmm.... something appears wrong here....

Ah, darn thing, can't be depended on for accurate answers after all!

But yes it is a steelbook. Our sources say...

"YES, DEFINITELY"

Listed as a steelbook and not metal packaging. They were pretty clear on this with pain and gain as it was listed as metalpak

BTW, metalpak is no more. Anything done in 2013 is a futurepak.

I did think about using futurepak. Wanted to be inline with the way Bestbuy advertised 2 guns exclusive on the flyer.

It says something when even the retailer is confused, doesn't it?

But I've spoken with the guys that make those and I'm assured they are now futurepaks.

Back on subject!

Would be nice if there was some spot gloss on the front character like Thor.

It does not say Steelbook anymore. I have searched on best buy site and could not find any steelbook entry too. Can we just buy the copy displayed on clicking above link?

 

[goufcustom]

Yeah... as I remembered this morning it said "Thor 2 steelbook only at bestbuy" now it changed to just "Thor 2 (Blu-ray Disc)" ... curious tho...

Purchasing from the link above worked for me

My bet is that they are being bombarded with tons of orders and to slow down the craziness, they simply removed the description.
If you search "steelbook" on their site, the listing still comes up with the same sku number from above.

I noticed the same thing - I gauantee these large retailers dont realize how big of a machine sites like HDN are.

someone in corporate is like " how did everyone see this? I guess everyone checks OUR BEST BUY site more than we thought"
