Wonder what the print run is? 50k? 100k?

Lets just say if you said 1, you would be closer. :movie:

So...at least we know it's less than 25,000!

It's back up for preorder

Awesome thanks! Got it ordered

Defintely less than that. For sure.

But it's only shipping...with Best Buy, that's a guaranteed damaged steelbook.

I'll have to take the chance, I can't ask her to camp out on the doorstep on release day!

Not necessarily. As a Silver Rewardzone member, they give you free expedited shipping and I did two group buys with at least 30x titles each and out of those 60, I had only 1 that was damaged.

So that's not a guarantee, but to make a blanket statement that it will arrive damaged is simply not true.

In-store pickup is available day of release, so that option will not be available until March 19.

When you order more, they send it in a box. When you order 1, it will arrive damaged in a jiffy. I've had it happen to all my single Best Buy shipping orders.

All of my finding nemo orders were mailed 1 at a time in a cardboard envelope.

Only 1 arrived damaged, and I believe I sent more than 36 of them out, just on that one group buy.

And I have had orders of 3x arrive in an envelope too, so again, not a guarantee you get them in a box.

My single steelbooks from them always come in a box and undamaged

But let's stay on topic

Future Shop Steelbook? - NOT

I just received the Future Shop flyer that starts this Friday. It is showing what is described as a Zero Dark Thirty Steelbook FS Exclusive bluray combo for release on March 19 but I am quite sure it is a mistake based on:

1) the information in this forum,

2) the WebID: M2203769 appears to be for the bluray combo only and not a Steelbook, and

3)the illustration does not look like a Steelbook.

Weird, we were told by our FS contacts there would only be an exclusive slipcover. Could be a mistake in the print, we'll double check.

On FS website, there is both the FS exclusive slipcover and regular slipcover version.

So that is why BB.com is running out of the steelbook inventory - its sister company Future Shop is grabbing a bunch of them

 

[Ricker]

I hope that's not the case

 

[ash333]

I hope that's not the case

No worries Rick - preorder is back up on Bestbuy.com and Future Shop's web site does not have the steelbook listed. All is good

 

[sirdizzy]

I have never had trouble getting steels in store day of release as there is a best buy 2 minutes from my work. That being said you guys always freak me out.

Gotta say it's weird....
