$34.99 Steelbook, but I was able to get the cashier to pricematch it to $29.99 as in the add.

Thanks, I'll probably try that too tomorrow. But now I'm curious why the cover for the regular version listed 4 discs while the Steelbook only listed 3 discs (unless I accidentally looked at a copy of Volume 1 instead of Volume 2).

Trevor

4 chains checked, updates made.

FYE has a 4 pack poster set with Wolverine (with pre-orders?).. The clerk gave me a couple as they got a whole box in and only had 3 pre-orders..
Later

Okay, I went back today to pick up the Steelbook, and I saw that the Primeval that I saw in regular packaging was in fact Volume 1, which explains the different disc count. Thanks again for the tip about price-matching the Best Buy ad on the Steelbook.

Also, I saw another possible exclusive at Wal-Mart. They had the Director's Cut of the pilot episode of Glee on DVD for $5, and it had a sticker for a mail-in offer for a free t-shirt, which claims that this offer is only available at WM.

oh id love to find an fye like yours. mine only pre-orders the exact amount of freebies they get reservations for. of course, they will always order extra steelbooks or exclusives that are on-pack, but they order zero extras for separate freebie items (poster, tote bag, etc).

in any case, since they seem very flexible and generous, ask them kindly if they have any older, leftover exclusives just sitting somewhere. you may even be able to "buy" them for $.01 each

does anyone have a pic or link to the blockbuster wolverine figures?

TRC

There's a few posted earlier in this same thread.

whotony

to be fair, it wasn't on this same page so how could he possibly have seen it?

*cough*

There's an exclusive metal packaging of Season 2 of Terminator-Sarah Connor at Best Buy. It's easily findable at the Best Buy site, I'd link to it but I'm too much of a noob for the board to allow.

Its description isn't as precise as I'd like - it calls the packaging a 'metal slipcase' - so I suppose it could be a metal sleeve or a steelbook. (Here's hoping it's a steelbook, to sit nicely next to S1.)

komsik

I was hoping too but its pretty much for sure now that it wont be a Steelbook but just a metal sleeve, the original links said steelbook but:

And then BestBuy changed the wording on the pages, but the ads still say steelbook.

A person on another forum already has The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 and it is indeed a metal slipcase similar to the Smallville one, from the picture he had posted. It is NOT a SteelBook.

reverie

How different is the Terminator SCC "metal case" from a steelbook? I guess really, how would it look next to season 1?

kstublen

Perhaps the fact that this is not a SB is due to this season having 6 discs? I don't know the maximum amount of discs that can be fit into a SB; the most I've seen is the Dario Argento Collection, which has 5. Perhaps 6 is just too many discs?

Anyway, I can understand why Best Buy wants these things. They are likely MUCH cheaper. You can tell by the quality. Less metal and it seems a cheaper metal is used. There is no extra plastic or anything really. I'm just surprised they wouldn't have wanted to do a SB for this season, considering how fast the first season's SB sold out.

It also surprised me to see how FOX used the "big" package for this release; they couldn't have used a slimmer case like they did for Season 1? It seems unnecessarily bulky, especially given the recent trend in slimming down packages.

All those complaints aside, I do like the presentation of this release. The Metal Slipcase has a nice front cover; I always liked that promotional shot, so I am glad it made it on the DVD cover. Also, it's nice that at least the spines match. While this doesn't really matter for the SB release, seeing as how there is the extra metal protruding from the spine, it will be nice for the standard release. The slipcover for the first season and the side-entry slipcover for the second season should align nicely and the words (title, logos, etc.) seem to be (from what I can remember) very similar, if not identical. Also, the episode booklet contained in the case is very nice. Lots of information, promotional shots, and screenshots. The disc art is simple, but effective, and I was glad to see them get most of the main cast on the discs.

While I am disappointed that it wasn't a SB (the package itself doesn't tout the SB name, but the shelf at Best Buy did), this will at least look nice next to the SB and my T-800 Tin from EzyDVD.

The Best Buy exclusive version of 'Doctor Who - Series 4' had 6 disks, and it's full to bursting. Half the time difficult to keep closed. But clearly 6 disks possible.

Trevor

Toys-R-Us had an endcap of Sony titles with stickers with $7.50 moviecash for Planet 51 or Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

Didn't say Toys-R-Us exclusive anywhere on the titles, which were mainly bad comedies like the recent Eddie Murphy stuff, but I haven't seen them elsewhere.

Jedi Master 33

Any idea what's on the Target exclusive disc for Scooby Doo?

Liontamer

According to the sticker, it has "Coolsville NewsNetork Newscast and the Pilot Episode of Scooby Doo Where Are You."
Not sure if it was the same selection of movies, but Best Buy had an endcap of DVDs on sale for $6.99 that had a sticker offering a free movie ticket (up to $7.50 value) to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3-D or Planet 51. I picked up the 2-disc Adventures of Baron Munchausen 20th Anniversary Edition DVD for $6.99 with the free ticket offer.
Best Buy also had a little free flyer for the upcoming DVD & Blu-Ray release of Monsters Vs. Aliens. It had an advertisement for a free B.O.B. plush with purchase of the Blu-Ray or Ginormous Double DVD Pack, some activities for kids (a maze, connect the dots, and a coloring page, and a coupon for $4 off Monsters Vs. Aliens Blu-Ray or Ginormous Double DVD Pack coupon valid at Best Buy from 9/29/09 to 10/3/09. This one entices me as long as Target doesn't role out some bonus disc or CD like they did for the Madagascar 2-pack.

WMAangel

You posted this same thing in the weekly Best Buy thread, so I guess I should go ahead and point it out here as well:
FOX had nothing to do with the DVD/BD release of T:TSCC....the show was produced by WARNER and they handle the home video release for the show, just like Chuck (airs on NBC, but also produced by and released on DVD by Warner)...

Before I forget... did anyone check Borders for a Wolverine exlcusive last week?

For some reason, I just thought they might have one (and confound it, all the Borders convenient to me closed a while back).

Anyone know anything, yea or nay?

hindolio

^ i thought borders pretty much got out of the exclusives game?
