We're still not sure if the monster rampage flick known as Cloverfield (review) will be making a debut on Blu-ray this April 22nd, but we just found out that there will be something else emerging with the regular DVD.
IGN uncovered plans for an exclusive "crushed steel-book case" release of the film that will only be available via Suncoast and FYE stores. The box's contents are still a secret, but more information should pop up soon.
The standard edition of the film already boasts a good amount of special features (“Cloverfield DVD Date, Art, Specs!” – March 2008), but creature feature freaks will probably want a good bang for their buck. There should really be no shortage of material to make the Cloverfield DVDs memorable, but we'll have to wait and see what if the steel-book will deliver.

"I have a feeling FYE may just be trying to get some extra cash by using the steel-box gimmic and putting in no extra features." <-- Actually, that wouldn't surprise me at all considering that reflecting upon "Cloverfield" I'm certain they spent more money on the viral marketing that on the actual movie. :D

Huh. I thought I had PM'd Johnny details on this 2 weeks ago. Weird.

That's the problem, only the box art has been released so far. I have a feeling FYE may just be trying to get some extra cash by using the steel-box gimmic and putting in no extra features.

What will the special features on this one be, then?

Oh come on! If that's the case I'll have to find a way to order through fYE or Suncoast. Damn it!
