Its official! Futureshop will be getting a Canadian exclusive Dark Knight Blu-ray Steelbook for $32.99 on December 9. With the Dark Knight arguably being the greatest movie of 2008, there’s no doubt in my mind that this exclusive Blu-ray steel book will sell out immediately and become a VERY rare collectors item (Similar to the Iron Man Blu-ray Steelbook)
What is a steelbook? It is a new ‘craze’ or ‘collectors item’ that has been hitting North America. They are a new form of ‘Special Edition’ DVD or Blu-ray casing that is made of reinforced tin. They are always produced in limited quantities and often sell out. Until now, most Blu-ray steelbooks have been Canadian Futureshop Exclusives. They often sell for CRAZY prices on eBay to Americans who can’t get their hands on them.
How much extra is it for a steelbook? None at all, steelbooks are usually sold at the same price as regular editions.
Past exclusive Blu-ray steelbooks include I Am Legend, Iron Man, Indiana Jones, and now The Dark Knight.
Steelbooks are available in both DVD and Blu-ray but the Blu-ray edition is what usually sells out during the first day of sales.

Man that guy is getting praise for buying all those copies… a dude even left him this message…
“Holy crap, look at all the people you’re helping out. Good on ya man.
You should get an award or something for all of this. Guys like you give Canada a good name…”
It’d be alright if he bought a couple of copies but buying the whole stock is horrible.. give people a chance man… i can’t wait until Future shop starts setting the limits on the steel books. Then we call all say WHO’S THE HERO NOW! hahahaha
