I came confirm this as being true as well. Out of the five times I got pre-order steelbooks from Best Buy, ALL of them were damaged in some way. The best condition I got one was with a single spine slash, but thats only because I had it shipped to me instead of doing store pick-up. I got lucky there because Best Buy has terrible shipping: most things come delivered in non-bubble mailers.
