Future Shop is like a Canadian best buy. Normally when you buy a Disney movie first day its out you get a steel book. A steel book is like a dvd case made of metal with the dvds cover art (or sometimes something cool) printed on it. There pretty cool actually. Here are some pictures of them.
the one for Cars:

Thank you jrboy and stewie15! They're cool, but I like my slipcovers and opening like a book and embossedness and perhaps the shininess only works on slipcovers, too.
Flam-Ham, sliced bread did not influence everything in the company you claim to love. But you're still my beloved forum friend, at least the classics you like are good ones.

I'd like to get the steelbooks but can never seem to find any

Its to reduce costs on the PS3. Sony is still losing money on each PS3 sold. I think Microsoft and Nintendo are now making money off each console sold. Sony is trying to keep the PS3 competitive in the gaming market. The high price of the PS3 and the push to Blu-ray hurt them at first, but they are catching up... slowly.
Anyway the only PS3s that were 100% backwards compatable with PS2 games were the original 20 and 60GB versions. The current 80GB thats available in the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle uses software to do backwards compatibility with PS2 games. It plays about 70 to 80% of the PS2 games.
The current 40GB and the 80GB that will replace it later in the year do not play PS2 games at all. The current 80GB Metal Gear bundle is also going to be phased out, and from the looks of it Sony will only offer the new 80GB system without backwards compatibility of PS2 games after that. So if you want any PS2 backwards compatibility you should try to get one of the Metal Gear bundles before they are gone.
However all PS3s (even the 40GB and the new 80GB) play PS1 games.

some of <i>my</i> earliest memories are of disneyland, inside sleeping beauty castle, on the alice in wonderland ride and on pirates. those were pretty amazed memories. for me, the parks are more special. but of course, as into films as i am, the films come in very close.

Woah, woah, woah. The theme parks are most certaintly NOT just merchandise. You are very wrong. In fact, I really don't think what you said made much sense, as is the case with most of your posts.
merchandise
–noun 1. the manufactured goods bought and sold in any business.
2. the stock of goods in a store.
3. goods, esp. manufactured goods; commodities.
–verb (used without object) 4. to carry on trade.
–verb (used with object) 5. to buy and sell; deal in; trade.
6. to plan for and promote the sales of.
Hmmm..theme parks are none of those definitions. I cannot buy/sell one, carry one, deal one, trade one, etc.
I love the films. I just like the theme parks more. So why don't you just stop trying to dissuade me from my opinion, because it won't work.

What I mean is that it's like merchandise,it's like the Aladdin,Lilo and Stitch,101 Dalmatians and Little Mermaid TV shows or the Broadway musicals.
It's the same,it's after the films and promotes them,the films are more importent to my then them.
And this is a forum,everyone can try change the others's opinion.
And I was talking to everyone who thinks that the parks are more importent.

That is some nice-looking packaging!
I was browsing Play.com, and they have Disney movies for as low as £2.99!!!!! That's amazing! Too bad there's no Play.com for Region 1 DVDs!
Oh, and for the record, Disney movies are my favorite part of the company, followed by the music & Disney Channel!

Does Play.com ship to the States?

First of all, I don't know what you think merchandise means, but that is most definitly not it. Hm, if I remember correctly you refused to change your opinion in the "Is Aurora a Damsel in Distress?" thread..why should I change mine?
And some Disney films were based off of Disney theme park attractions. The theme park attractions do not promote the films. They are there to bring families together and to discover the magic that is Disney.

What I"m saying is that like the merchandise are after the film then so are the attractions,you can keep thinking the same.
I"m not talking about attrections like Pirates Of The Carribbean or Hunted Mansion that their films were based on them,I"m talking about attrection like Sleeping Beauty's Castle or the Peter Pan ride that are based on the films.
