Troy Best Buy Bonus Disc
Anybody have the details on the contents of this disc? I'd really like to know if it's worth getting. Thanks in advance for any help.

The BB ad makes it sound like there are commentaries that ARE NOT on the actual Troy DVD - there are ZERO commentary tracks on Troy! - though I'm not sure how that works or WTF it's not on the disc in the first place.

[Phat Rant]This exclusive content stuff is starting to piss me off as DVD was created for the hard core movie fanatic. Commentaries and such should be standard on DVD releases. They shouldn't be an exclusive for whoever pays for them. This just stinks
Note: I buy most of my DVDs from BB anyway but I can imagine for some who enjoy a movie, they would want everythng available. If a BB isn't in the area you have to resort to ebay ripoffs.[/Phat Rant]

I rarely buy DVDs from BB, but one of the last ones I got with a bonus disc included it inside the case. If that is standard procedure, can't people without store access get the bonus disc by ordering from bestbuy.com?

Plus, not all of their sets have the bonus disc in them. If you order online, you're not guaranteed of getting a set with the bonus disc. You're not even guaranteed in-store, you have to look and make sure it's in there before you buy it.

i think that happened at a few location with the Indy disc, but since it hasn't been a problem....I never get any trouble with it....only time this becomes an issue is if it has a totally diffrent package or upc...like in the case of the the bonus cd with shrek 2 at wal mart....they wouldn't price match it because it was a diffrent upc and they had the dvd only version available....can't hurt to try

BTW, this bonus disc is not in the case, it's just in a cardboard sleeve shrinkwrapped to the front of the DVD. It didn't seem like they had a ton at mine. Had to dig around a bit to find one with the bonus disc.

If these "commentaries" are anything like the "commentaries" promised on the Time Machine Bonus Disc a couple of years ago, it'll just be a fluff interview about the movie.
