I had ordered all of them online. It's probably not common knowledge that Best Buy closed my account after seeing how many I ordered for members here. I can no longer place an order with bestbuy.com

Luckily I've been recruiting the help of other ninjas and will be taking a day off from work to grab whatever I can at local stores. I think we should be able to get the entire requested amount.

That sucks Andy

I don't want you to be hassled on my account mate, so, much as I hate to say it, if you aren't able to secure the requested number of copies, I'll scratch my name off if it makes it any easier for you.

What the hell is best buy thinking? Too big to appreciate the business? In this economy maybe they've mistaken you for one of the scum scalpers - would anyone up the ladder understand what you are doing if you could talk to them?

I've been chatting with Future Shop for months, but getting someone inside Best Buy is pretty crazy - no one wants to chat with you.

That's just poor biz, IMO. If someone like yourself is improving their sales by giving it a global reach without being paid for it, I'd think they'd fall over themselves to talk to you! Nuts!!

Without turning this into a retailer discussion, I can only say Best Buy is in the doghouse with some studios and they cannot afford any kind of "infraction" which is like being put on the ban list. Hence their paranoidal stance IMO.
As for the artwork, at this point with a little over a week to go, it is very likely what BB.com has posted.

They should, but there is really nothing in it for BBY. BBY would gain nothing from knowing these were shipped out of the Country. This would not help there sales at all, they want people to come to the store or website to purchase.

I have 5 on order, 3 for some people here and the other 2 for me, I'll be heading at store open to get more, just in case that some arrive damaged, and I can return those.

I just wish BBY(and other retailers) would package items better, the little it would cost them in packaging materials would save them in the long run on returns.

One more week to go and here is a little snippet from the IMDB that I thought was super funny but not sure on whose account:

James Gandolfini, who portrays former CIA head Leon Panetta, sent a note to Panetta before the film came out: "I'm very sorry about everything. I apologize. You're like my father, so you'll find something to be angry about, but please let me know." For months, silence. Then, as the film was in the middle of awards season in early January, screenwriter Mark Boal told Gandolfini, "Leon Panetta would like your phone number because he doesn't know how to get in touch with you." The actor was surprised. "He's the head of the CIA! He can't find me? Come on, really?!"

No wonder it took 10 years to find UBL

Man, I hope I can get a hold of this...thought the movie was amazing and would love this in a Steelbook. Too bad FS didn't have this as well haha

Hope its not too limited of a run!

From another site:

From the photographer (thanks Kaw for noticing):

The "Zero Dark Thirty" font is raised, and there is a cool raised trim around the front of the steelbook.

Folks, I know the print run qty (but not allowed to say) and I can confirm tho that this is pretty darn limited for a USA release. I actually find it quite surprisingly low for Best Buy and USA.
