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

http://bluraysteelbooks.com/2010/09/upcoming-wb-canadian-steelbook-wave/

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!

Thanks for the heads up. I just pre-ordered Matrix, 2001, Batman Begins, and Heat. :D

So excited for these, especially Matrix and 2001 :oohyeah:
 
FYI-per Pikachufever at FS forum:

"It hasn't been officially announced yet, but I saw an ad in a distributor magazine for the Wave that was previously voted on (Wave 1?). They're due to be released at the end of March (either the 22nd or the 29th).



I can only remember 4 of the 5 titles:



2001: A Space Odyssey

The Matrix

Heat

Batman Begins



They all looked pretty awesome, with 2001 (HAL's eye) and The Matrix (art depicting the "eggs") looking like instant purchases."


This is good news! Definitely getting matrix, heat, and batman begins. :D
 
online preordered on amazon.ca (release date : march 1, 2011) :
-The Matrix :oohyeah:
-2001
-Goodfellas

CAD 18,99 each (+shipping)

Heat and Batman begins are available too.

Still not stated as steelbooks, but I'm crossing fingers :naughty:
 
Just ordered Heat, Matrix, 2001 and BB.
Couldnt find Goodfellas????
Maybe there is another SB??????????????????????????

For some reason, Goodfella's wasn't coming up when I searched either, but check out the wave 3 thread ( or it might be in here actually ) but I posted a link to it :)
 
You have to search Blu-ray by release date and go to march,1.
There you can find Goodfellas.

Hi All, I sent Amazon.ca a quick request for a catalog update. I am sure others have done this too. Goodfellas had an extra "L" in the title, so it was not easily found. Good luck with voting!:)
 
Yeah they put stupid digibook artwork up for Matrix, but that isnt it. Supposedly has egg artwork. Pre-orders are safe though. I could see these prices raising up a bit.
 
The Matrix looks like the digi book, but I guess they are going to use the same artwork(hopefully not though) :(

Batman Begins is very nice!

Hmmm, maybe the art is temp for Matrix-the OP at FS forum, when I posted said he thought he remembered art work with a bunch of eggs. I guess we'll know soon...
