Ciao!

Cool, looks like there's still regular and "head" packaging for the Simpsons.

[speedy1961]

Cool, looks like there's still regular and "head" packaging for the Simpsons.

That's what it looks like to me as well.

[mcfly]

That's what it looks like to me as well.I thought it was just the one. Very very interesting!

[pridesticks06]

Looks like nothing here for me this week (I know, I know Zohan is like a MUST-BUY, but I'll pass :D)

/sarcasm. In all seriousness though, I don't see much. Thanks Speedy!

[TheJoker]

Has there been pics of the regular edition of the simpsons? For some reason I only buy the regular...

[mcfly]

Has there been pics of the regular edition of the simpsons? For some reason I only buy the regular...I bought all the head sets myself because they look nice, but they still sit awkwardly on my shelf.

The Krusty head looks embossed so I wonder how far it will stick out.

[NiCK Crush]

Wait, so the Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray also comes with the film on DVD?

[TheJoker]

Yes it does.... There are pics of it up in the avs blu-ray forums. Its a great bonus actually....

[NiCK Crush]

Hell yea it is, thats great.

[Liquid Death]

Kinda surprised How I Met Your Mother S3 isn't listed - or did it get postponed?

[Illini Jeeper]

Yes! Forgot that Sleeping Beauty comes out this week! Grabbing this as it's one of my all time favorite Disney movies.

[cinemaphile]

Wow, Target seems to be quite a bit cheaper than everybody (Best Buy, Circuit City, Amazon...) on Sleeping Beauty! Most everyone has it at $19.99 or more. So unless the upcoming ads are going to undercut their own site's pre-order price, Target's the place to go!

...same for Robot Chicken S3- everyone else is pre-ordering at $21.99+

I can pretty much guarantee they will be below 19.99, they usually don't list their first week prices for the website pre-order prices.

[skacore]

From what I've seen the Krusty Head box is different than the previous releases. It looks like his head is just embossed on the box, instead of the box being shaped like the head and using a plastic slipcover to make the head case "square" so it will sit on the shelf.

[bunkaroo]

Also, I cannot find any listings anywhere for two separate Simpsons releases - not Amazon, not DVDEmpire, etc.

The last few times Amazon always had both versions listed. I guess we'll have to wait to actually see the ad page.

[MikeDeN2K]

I already pre-ordered The Simpsons Season 11 and can't cancel it at this point. Sigh, I have standard boxes for all the other ones and I hoped they were done with this shit.

Do you think that if I go to Target on Oct. 7th, buy the Target exclusive box, and then go for a refund once I get my Krusty Head box in the mail, they'd take it back?

[bunkaroo]

What do you mean by Target Exclusive box?

[mcfly]

What do you mean by Target Exclusive box?Yeah am I missing something?

[bluetoast]

Hope some retailers have exclusives for the Sleeping Beauty BD.

[MikeDeN2K]

What do you mean by Target Exclusive box?

I mean that nowhere else has a "regular" box listed except for Target at this point. So I'm thinking that it's going to be a Target exclusive, from this evidence alone.

[mcfly]

The Best Buy or Circuit City ad hasn't even been posted yet? That's not evidence.. you don't know all the sales circulars yet.

[MikeDeN2K]

There's no listing for them on the BB or CC websites, and the Krusty Head ones are already marked as being on sale.

[mcfly]

There's no listing for them on the BB or CC websites, and the Krusty Head ones are already marked as being on sale.There's no listing on the Target site either for the regular set, so again, stop making assumptions.

[JB7]

It won't. Target gets their dvds from Amazon. The website does that is.

[KHook321]

Can't wait to get Season 2 of 30 Rock on DVD. Best show on television!

[MikeDeN2K]

No "regular box" listing in the CC ad... looking like an exclusive to me.

[Cornelius1047]

Both Best Buy and Circuit City have the standard version for $14.99 with separate exclusives (Sleeping Beauty alarm clock and iron-on decal, respectively).

K

[bunkaroo]

Well looking at the actual Target ad on their site, they do have a separate picture for the "regular" box, but there are still no listings to be found anywhere online.

I guess we'll see what's on the shelf Tuesday morning when I stop in.

[TOLEN]

So is the regular dvd version of Sleeping Beauty that comes with the Blu-ray disc only at Target? Or does the dvd version come with all SB Blu releases?

Thanks!

[RM811]

All BD copies have the dvd copy as far as I know.

[zekeburger1979]

No "regular box" listing in the CC ad... looking like an exclusive to me.

TVShowsOnDVD had a item up today showing the regular box for Simpsons Season 11. It'll be available everywhere. My guess is that 20th Century Fox wants people to get the Krusty head and only made that image available to retailers to put in their ads.

[bunkaroo]

^^^^

That is NOT cool at all. It's too late for me to cancel my Amazon pre-order now for the head version.

I guess no more Simpsons pre-orders for me.

[bunkaroo]

I can confirm Target did have the regular boxes today as well, just as pictured.

The packaging is different though - it is no longer the plastic "book" type inserts. It's a thinner "accordian" type fold out with the discs hidden in sleeves. Not really too great as the discs have to be dragged out.

[johnsun]

HI DVDTalkers!

Got the Target circular for 10/5/08 - 10/11/08 in my hands.

???? Sleeping Beauty DVD includes a sampler DVD which features highlights from the all-new Tinker Bell movie


Anyone pick this sampler disc up? Is it mostly fluff? What's the contents?
Thanks

[njwiv]

Mostly fluff. One scene from the film (Tink trying to find a better talent than tinkering and exploring water talents), a song montage that may also be from the film, various character intros that may be snippets from the film, a game, and trailers for each of (1) the film, (2) the online Pixie Hollow fairy environment, and (3) a Nintendo DS game for Tinker Bell.

I am actually pretty pissed about the limited edition packaging. Basically they designed it so you WILL ruin your discs. The whole outside is made of plastic and the insert is nothing but cardboard. Not to mention the fact they didn't just slip them in the cardboard, they are in there so friggin' tight you almost rip the sleeve apart getting it out.

There's a thread on this in the DVD forum, but basically it appears the non-limited box is simply the same thing as the limited minus the Krusty outer shell. I have the box only version and it has the same lame sleeves.
