Target has an exclusive mask packaging.  Not sure if the case for the DVD is the mask or if it's just included.

Best Buy has two sets, one with the clown mask shown and one with a Batman mask.  Best Buy is also giving away a Joker trading card with all Dark Knight DVDs.

Circuit City has an exclusive Batman logo journal.

I'm still trying to figure out where to pick this DVD up tomorrow.  I usually like to go to Target, but I guess I'm just not a big fan of the mask packaging necessarily (takes up too much room), and I do want the deluxe edition (which is what it comes with there).  If it has the "normal" case inside, then that would be fine.  I ended up getting Iron Man and Transformers at Best Buy for the same reason.  Its cool and all, but I just don't have the room for all that extra stuff.  Wal-Mart's the closest drive, so maybe I'll check that out (is it the single disc that comes with the comic and coin though?).  This is one movie that I'd like to have the "deluxe version" of - although I've tried to be more judicious when picking up the extra loaded versions lately, making sure I'd actually get use out of the extra $7 (or more) it costs.

A little birdy told me that Santa might be bringing me a PS3 for Christmas so I'm debating if TDK should be my first BR purchase or not.   :-\

It doesn't look like the Walmart exclusive with the comic and coin is the 2-disk special edition.  That's listed separately on their website plus the cover artwork is different.  The regular release has Batman in front of the building with the bat symbol buring above him. 

The special edition has Batman on the Batpod on the slipcase cover and Joker on the case cover.

Yeah based on the amount of 2 disc DVDs I've bought over the last 3 months, none of these exclusives will be included with the 2 disc.

HOWEVER, I read a review of the DVD that said the extras are all crap and they basically put out regular DVD's as an afterthought to Blu-Ray. I've also heard rumblings of a "ultimate award winning edition" DVD coming out later next year...

Isn't that the same story with every DVD?

With Fox, it's standard practice.

Nothing original about today's acquisition, but I picked up The Dark Knight on blu-ray this morning.

Picked up the WM exclusive coin set. The 2 disc was $25 and the extras were lacking and lame. Why would I want IMAX scenes if I'm mainly going to be watching on a SDTV?

Yes, but those always come out a month before the sequel. ;)

I just grabbed a copy at Best Buy.  They took that Papa John's coupon even though I was buying the blu-ray.  So it was $24 after tax.  I can live with that.

I wanted the get TDK 2 disk set at Target, but all they had was the mask packaging, so I wound up ordering from Amazon. Way to exclusive yourself out of a sale Target.

I bought mine at WM for that very reason. The TDK and Iron Man packaging are just lame.

I was just going to ask if anyone had picked it up at Target.  Like I mentioned earlier, we normally grab our DVDs there (they are almost always cheaper on opening week than WM, etc.), but I don't necessarily want the giant mask packaging either.  I was wondering if there was a "normal" case inside that packaging, or if it was all something different like Iron Man, Hulk, Transformers, etc.  Looks like I might be stopping by WM or Best Buy today as well.
