You bet that I will do that. Unluckily, I'm no customer at this store, I've never been there before. But I'll try anyway.
And if I won't get it, there's always ebay. The posters are sold there, too. But somehow I'd prefer to have THE one from our local store. Don't ask me why... ::) Must be another, still unknown symptom of Brokeback fever (maybe Leslie knows more about it ;)).

Even though I own the DVD, I still find myself picking it up if I pass it in a shop, smiling to myself before putting it back on the shelf.

I own a widescrene copy... and I've been tempted to pick up a full screen copy. Mainly because I've been told there's some subtle things at the bottom of the screen to look for that was trimed when it goes widescrene.
Although, I know you gain far more with widescren then you do with full (almost a third of an image) ...but it just has me curious.
I'm also sorry I never put dibs on any promo posters or those cardboard stand-ups you see in stores.
Although, I've managed to find some REALLY high quality pic's I could easily make something out of.

It only came out here in Holland 10 days ago, so still full price and beautiful box sets here... I will cherish that...

I'm very intrigued by this description "beautiful box sets." Tell us more! My copy of the DVD (pre-ordered from Amazon.com before it was released way back in April) is in a lousy, overly simple case with NO insert booklet or anything inside. To make matters worse... the cover of my copy has that annoying white border with the 3 Oscar wins announement on it. I wish I had a copy with a normal cover. But, such was my urge to get my hands on BBM the second it came out here that I ended up having to deal with wierd packaging. I'm very jealous about the idea of a "beautiful box set."
Hey, I wonder (regarding the U.S. market) if this trend of old BBM DVDs ending up in discount bins might encourage the idea of a spruced-up special edition. I've sort of lost hope for the idea of a special edition with added bonus features... but I guess I shouldn't give up hope quite yet (that seems to be a good Brokeback kind of sentiment, hunh?)
