Bear with me, folks, I'm gonna respond to a bunch of random **** here:
So, has anyone swung by Wal Mart lately and stumble across "Fletch" for $4.88? I've had my copy for a while, got it cheap, but wouldn't mind a minty fresh one.
Found one last night while picking up Star Wars. Then I rushed right out this morning to put it in my safety deposit box. Twenty years from now, I'm gonna use it to put my kids through school.

Re: Begins Deluxe
Found some of the Deluxe sets sans slipcase and mini-comic today at a Best Buy while picking up. . .

Re: Office Space: Two Chicks at the Same Time Edition
But an Anamorphic transfer..which is why I'm biting.
Right, and it's the main reason I'm biting, too, but he was asking what cut of the movie was on the disc.

Star Wars:
Those of you planning on getting the bonus disc two-pack at Wal-Mart may want to pick up some Goo Gone while you're at it. The boneheads put the sticker advertising the bonus disc directly on the bonus disc keepcase, and the bonus disc isn't shrink-wrapped, so unless you're really careful, you'll get sticker residue all over the front of the bonus disc.

Star Wars DVD stuff:
Those looking for the new, Episode I CGI Yoda footage, check out the "Chosen One" featurette in the documentaries section on Disc 2. It's about five minutes in, just a quick clip of the "fear leads to anger" speech. Looks good. Definitely a nice little "Episode I SE is coming" bone for us fans.
Dancing Yoda is funny, I guess, but still not as good as a gag reel.

And the nominee for most-misleading product of 2005 is. . .
Target will also apparently be getting an exclusive, two-disc CD package, featuring the "best music of the entire Saga," for $14.99.
No word yet on the track-listing.
I was thinking about making my own two-disc set, with the first disc being Prequel music, and original music on the second. If this set is done that way, I'll probably pick that up instead.
Went to one Target this morning to check out this CD, and just saw a bunch of Sith soundtracks where this new set was supposed to be. Went to another Target, saw the same thing, and thought that was odd, so I picked one up and saw that this "exclusive" CD was just shrink-wrapped to the back of the regular CD. No track-listing or anything, just a sticker that said something to the effect of "over 50 minutes of the best music of the Saga."
Pretty lame stuff. I was kind of glad I didn't "have" to buy it, but would have liked to see a nice two-disc set with one disc prequel music and the other disc original music, with new packaging and all that. Guess I'll have to make my own after all.
Still though, it's the Sith soundtrack, the Musical Journey DVD, and the best-of CD, all for about fifteen bucks or so. Great deal if you don't already have the soundtrack.
