I'm hoping to find a DVD Talker to pick me up a Canadian Blu-Ray Bust set, but isn't looking promising right now :(

No, but I'd like to know how asking where everyone will be buying the movie from is considered a dvd bargain.

IMO, that Target helmet package looks cheap. Maybe it will look better in person but as of right now, I think I'll just stick to the regular Blu-ray case. Probably just pick it up online somewhere.

I'd certainly like to beleive that, but come Tuesday we will have many angry "Best Buy sold out already! Only had 5 copies" type posts. Could be because the title is popular...or that its in short supply.
Regardless, my post serves as just a friendly warning though that it may be in short supply for a few days.

Many of us are aware, but I've also heard from multiple sources that the recall shouldnt effect the in-store releases in anyway. Mainly just pre-orders and what not. From what I understand, the perfectly fine finished products should be in stores Tuesday.

How do you go about ordering from Futureshop if you live outside of Canada? On the site it says that they don't ship outside the country.

It's the same thing as the DVD packaging, just with a different insert in the packaging and the Blu-ray discs. It's pretty big, but at least it's not awkwardly big or shaped strangely like some special packaging.

Correct.
The ad only said "additional footage" not "exclusive footage." Target often uses that in advertising, and it is only referring to the additional footage that you get over the single disc version, not anything extra beyond that. It can be a bit misleading.

Picked up the Target exclusive this morning. There were plenty of both the SD and BD versions around 9AM. It's a little taller and a lot thicker than a standard DVD case, but not obnoxiously so.

The outer carboard wrap is the only difference. The mask packaging is identical for both SD and BD. Same size, same everything.

Thanks. The "exclusive mask packaging and additional bonus footage" tag makes it sound like they actually have exclusive content. I'm not interested in the mask package so I'll save a couple bucks and get it at BestBuy or Walmart.

I stopped by a local Walmart and they had one Bluray disc of the movie and it was labeled as $29.95.

It's $25.99 at BestBuy and the slickdeals thread says it's $25.86 at Walmart. Maybe the Walmart price varies store to store?
The Target mask packaging version is $27.99. I don't know if Target carries the standard Blu-Ray for less.
