Over here in Canada, the
exclusives are like this:
Walmart(in-store and online): '3-Disc Holiday Blu-Ray + DVD Gift Set' box set that comes with
plush backpack clip in shape of smurfs head
Best Buy(in-store only): purchase the '3-Disc Holiday Blu-Ray + DVD Gift Set' pack and receive a pack of
activity sheets at check-out
Future Shop (an electronics media store exactly like Best Buy in the U.S.A.)(in-store and online): A
steel case with an upper body shot of Clumsy on cover, waving.
The 3 discs for all of them are:
1. 2D regular dvd copy
2. 2D blu-ray copy
3. 2D regular dvd copy of 'The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol' (though in the Future Shop steel case version, this copy is in a loose paper disc slip, and does not have its own holding spot within the case, like the other 2 versions' cases at Best Buy and Walmart)
The special features are split between both the regular dvd and blu-ray copies. With these 3-disc packs, all known special features are available (unlike if you bought just the blu-ray, or just the regular dvd)
There is only one style of steel case or 'steelbook' (as some call it) available for this movie, worldwide. This steelbook is available
only in three countries worldwide and in limited numbers:
Canada (online and in-store retailer 'Future Shop'); limited number is unknown to me, though I read online that it's most likely 1000
Italy (online only at wesite
www.DVD-store.it); limited number is 1,500 and each steelbook has a tiny sticker on the front cover with a number stamped on it, telling you what number out of 1,500 you have.
Germany (retailers Mediamarkt and Saturn - don't know if their online stores will offer this as well; also, online at website
www.amazon.de). limited number is unknown, though I read online that it's most likely 1,500.
Depending where it was bought, each of the steelbook content is different. The Canadian version details were already described above.
Italy: 1 disc - 2D blu-ray and 2D regular dvd on one disc.
Germany Mediamarkt/Saturn: 1 disc - 3D blu-ray and 2D blu-ray on one disc.
Germany amazon.de: steelbook packed in cardboard packaging along with 3 loose movie Jakks Pacific figures (same as what is currently in the market). They are Papa, Smurfette and Clumsy. 2 discs - 3D blu-ray and 2D blu-ray on one disc. The other disc has the 2D blu-ray 'The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol'.
Special features are included on both the Italian and German copies, but I don't know to what extent, unfortunately.
Hope this information helps. I may post pictures of these later, if they are easy to find on the internet.
This is awesome.
