Zavvi currently is taking pre-orders for a SteelBook we assume (or hope at least) comes to the states, but so far, neither Best Buy, Amazon, or any other retailer has punched those up on their release slate. We'll keep you posted if that changes. 

Pre-Orders are only up on Best Buy, but we expect more retailers to get their listings up soon.  Here's the full press release:
