That "litho" is garbage, IMO. It's not even movie specific, more pop art than anything, which has me leaning towards spending a whopping $4 on an exclusive bonus disc.
Re: Best Buy and Wal Mart prices. I don't understand why they'll (WM) price match one new release, and not the other, both equally as "major" in relation to their theatrical release, while not necessarily popularity. Best Buy's Reward Zone offers vary from region to region as well, i.e. 2 Disk Wizard of Oz for $12.99 in some, $16.99 in others.
Doesn't really matter to me, since I'm opting for the 3 disc, but still.

Same here. No WS UR DC's ar my Best Buy, Wal Mart wanted $20 for theirs, so Target at $16.99 was my last resort, which worked.
Made my single largest purchase, monetarily, this weekend, $205 of animated goodness;

Beats the hell out of some lithograph or lenticular box-art ********, which is just that: ********.
It's alls about the competition. I'd rather see lower prices in the B&M's than free ****, personally, as well.
Picked up Transformers Season 1 today for $20. Some poor guy took out a loan against all the GI Joe, Transformers, and Beast Wars DVD sets, couldn't pay it back, and ended up having it all sold. Sucks for him.

« on: October 19, 2005, 11:12 AM »Wal Mart will have an exclusive Bonus Disc. IIRC, it's a documentary on R2 and C3P0.
Not quite, but you're very, very close.
It looks to be something hosted by the droids, which tells the story of Anakin and Luke. This may have been something which aired on Fox around the time that Clones came out in theatres.
Did they not host that on "Wal Mart TV" at one point as well? I was really hoping for something brand new.
If that's the case, I'll take the slipcase over the extra DVD at Wal-Mart in a heartbeat.
I'd opt for the DVD. Slipcases, in my collection anyway, get folded and stored.

..and on top of that Circuit City is issuing a free lithograph with purchase, whereas Best Buy has a store exclusive lenticular cover.

The Michale Graves show tonight was absolutely insane. Although relegated to a small Downtown Minneapolis pub, he blew the roof off of the place. Ripped through classic and modern Misfits tracks, as well as those off of his S/T solo album.
L to R: Alison, Jesse, Michale Graves, Myself
I've got tickets to see the UR DC of "Land of the Dead" tomorrow night, but after the incredible night I had, I think we're traveling to St. Cloud to see him again. He's an incredibly personable guy. I spoke to him on two occassions, and he even signed 3 Misfits/Graves pieces!

I'll be taking in my first show in oh, say, 8 years? Micheal Graves, ex-Misfits lead singer, has 2 projects, one of which being a self-titled horror-punk band a la Misfits. Sunday night show in Downtown Minneapolis, I'm pretty stoked, as is the girly.

« on: October 14, 2005, 12:28 AM »A question about the Nightmare on Elm Street Boxed Set.
I have all the older DVD's (the red ones)... I'm wondering if there is anything different content wise about the nicer boxed set - I'm thinking about buying it and trading in my red versions - but only if there's a reasonable difference.
Only difference is Fullscreen isn't an option in the boxed set whereas it is in the singular releases. Some of the extras, as mentioned, were shifted to the Encyclopedia disc.
