All store exclusives and freebies - 2/24/08 to 3/01/08

These weekly threads are for the posting and discussion of that particular week's store exclusives and freebies.

These lists will likely be incomplete until Thursday or so, since DVDs are released on Tuesday and one of us needs to visit all the stores to confirm things.

Links to the master list and to the previous and next week's thread are below.

Volunteers needed: I regularly go to Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, and Walmart; but don't visit the other stores every week. If you work at or regularly go to the FYE/TWEC chains, Costco, Borders, K-mart/Sears, Barnes and Noble, Blockbuster, Hot Topic, or any other store that has DVD exclusives; We'd appreciate any updates you could give us.

FYE has a sampler disc of In Treatment S1 (episodes 1-5) for .01 cent with the purchase of any HBO Show .
I got one with a regular purchase so it's a YMMV kind of deal I guess.

I just picked it up. It says "Exclusive 2-Disc Limited Edition Set" with the theatrical poster (the vampire screaming with head tilted back). It includes a bonus disc in a separate slimmer case. This case and the regular DVD case fit together in the box.

Just came back from my DVD run. I can confirm that the 2-Disc Special Edition of Beowulf that BEST BUY had advertised was a misprint.

Best Buy:
Beowulf - Free 3D trading cards (on package) only with Theatrical or HD-DVD versions.

Wal-Mart:
Justice League: The New Frontier (single disc only) - Free Green Lantern comic book on CD-ROM

Back from DVD crawl.

Should anybody want it; the link to the Circuit City exclusive for "Beowulf". No password needed. Both clips are in FLV; found the addresses and am downloading them - 22.6 and 26.3 megabytes. And their exclusive for
30 Days Of Night
(also no password).

TWEC has an exclusive mini-poster with purchase of the Justice League DVD.

I'll need to do a bit of digging so I can figure out how to make the text bold in future posts...

thats a crappy exclusive ug.

but no slipcovers seen. i was hoping for one at tarjay along with the comic, since they love slapping slips on dvds and calling them "deluxe" or whatever, but i couldnt even get that. these retailers are getting cheap lol.

Thanks

Since I don't want to post the hot links here. Hindolio, I've sent you a private message with the links. You need some kind of downloader and of course an FLV viewer.
