Older updates:
Our sister site is reporting that we can expect an upcoming wave of Warner Bros. steelbooks in Canada.

This is going to be a very busy fall / winter season. EEK!

Per Brana at FS Forum 9/27/2010:

"As was previously noted on the forum, the market will see more and more Steelbooks being produced by the studios directly for national distribution amongst all retailers who choose to bring them in. This will primarily be on older catalogue titles as the industry looks for new ways of creating some excitement and driving more sales for Bluray. While this is bittersweet for FS as we have been the leaders in Steelbook and pushing this cool packaging option for years as our thing, ultimately it's about you the customer and making sure as many of your diverse movie needs are fulfilled with Steelbook. The reality is we would have never been able to produce some of these Steelbooks on our own as the minimum packaging runs are pretty high, so we cherry pick older titles and often times work internationally to partner with other countries.

This first wave coming from Warner will also be bitter sweet for some of you as it's some old/new titles coming back in Steelbook format. My understanding is the artwork is different than before so there shouldn't be crossover where they are bringing something back that was sold as an FS exclusive a few years ago.


Two things you can expect that will make this exciting for you: because of our leadership position around Steelbook (which is really about you guys and all the active members we have here in our forum) we will get first look at upcoming Steelbooks here. We have also worked out with Warner an exclusive opportunity to vote for Wave 2 and have a direct say in what movies go Steelbook. You asked for this and we brought it to you. The poll is up now on the right hand side of the movies forum page. The window is short so you have until Sept. 30th to cast your vote. We're really exited about finally being able to being this to you and are working to do more of these with other studios in the future.

I will post the graphics for Wave 1 into individual postings to not have 1 massive graphics heavy posting. Let me know what you think about what's coming. Hopefully you guys are excited!

Brana "

Some of wave 1 appears to be up on amazon.ca. I'm assuming they are steels as they are being released in November as the Alliance releases?

Looks like the prices have been adjusted for these. They are looking more like the prices of the other steels they are going to be selling. I preordered 4 out of 5 last night. If the listings are anything like the Gangs and No Country listings, these could well be the steels.
 
thanks for that heads up darczap,i orderd 4 of the 5 last night also at the nice price:D
let me guess,did you leave out 10.000bc also?
 
I got the two that I wanted from that batch so far, and combined the two orders (the Alliance one and these):)
 
Freedom-not sure, but if the price was legit at the time, then, even if the price goes up afterwards, as it did now, you will still pay the lower price. Keep us posted:)

No problem mr. snowblood ;)

No, I actually left out The Dark Knight. I'm already happy with my Future Shop copy and the covers are identical so, it was an easy choice for me.
