Are the Canadian "steelbooks" in the system?

Looking for:
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"
"Ocean's Thirteen"
"Cars"
"Ratatouille"
"Pan's Labyrinth" R2 German

I don't think they have separate UPC's and that may be why, but I was just wondering/hoping.

Thanks in advance.

Sometimes it's helpful to do add by title when adding rather than UPC, for region 1.  Then you can see which are U.S. and which are Canada.

I've asked about it in the case type thread, but I'll ask here as well.  Could someone please post a picture for a Steelbook case.  I'm not sure what they look like, but I'm thinking they're like the Halo 2 Limited Edition and Perfect Dark Zero Limited Edition game cases.  Thanks.

The Halo 2 and Perfect Dark Zero Limited Edition cases are made by Viva Magnetics.  They're similiar to the Steelbooks however the Steelbooks generally have a transparent plastic insert vs. Viva's opaque plastic insert.  The spine on the steelbooks (when opened) is almost the same height of the packaging itself vs. Viva's is ~ an inch smaller.

Amazon has some decent pictures of the Cast Away Steelbook which can be found here:

Also take a look at the 6 additional customer images that were posted.

There are currently two companies that make metal dvd packaging: Steelbook by Scanavo and Viva Magnetics

Some previous US Steelbook packaging: The Departed, The Grudge 2, Man on Fire, Platoon, Die Hard, Fight Club, Cast Away, The Day After Tomorrow, X2, X3, Hannibal, The Omen; CA Steelbooks: 300, V for Vendetta, Ice Age 2, Appleseed

Some previous US Viva metalboxes: Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Forbidden Planet, Dune: Extended Edition

Thanks rdodolak.  I had a feeling they were like that since they're a metal case.  I see the difference between the Viva Magnetics and Steelbook ones too.  Thanks.
