Which store exclusive Descent DVD did I get?

I didn't like the movie when I saw it in theaters, but it keeps getting praise so I figured I owe it a second shot, and buying it at Wal-Mart is within a dollar of rental price, so I figured I'd just get it.

What really convinced me, though, was that I could tell by the sound and weight that the copy they had was a 2-disc, and the DVD is a 1-disc. Sure enough, there's a disc inside called Creating an Underground World.

I don't remember Wal-Mart having an exclusive, and I do remember Best Buy and at least one other store offering one. Whose did I get?

I believe the 2-Disc was a Circuit City Exclusive.

Checking our (out of date) master list of all store exclusives, Best Buy had a bonus disc with a 12 minute featurette, Wal-Mart had a bonus disc, and Circuit City had a bonus disc with a 10 minute featurette.

That's all the information I have in the list, and my memory isn't good enough to add more right now.

I have all three exclusive versions, but finding them could take weeks of full time searching.

Bonus Discs:

Circuit City : "Creating an Underground World"

Best Buy: "A Special Breed of Effects and Actors"

Walmart: "The Fine, Fearless and Feisty"

Strange that Walmart is now carrying a different bonus disc. (Their original one came in its own separate keepcase with exclusive artwork).

Probably not a new packaging, but was just a store return.

Maybe their discounted titles now includes surplus Circuit City inventory.

Wow, thanks for the heads up on this. I already had the version with the Best Buy bonus disc, but I couldn't pass up another bonus disc for $5. They had several copies at my WM that appeared to have the Circuit City bonus disc inside. I'd guess that WM bought up some of Circuit City's lefotver inventory after CC went belly up. I've seen the John Cena: My Life DVD set on my local WM's shelf bearing a tag declaring a Circuit City exclusive Fathead with purchase. It was strange to see a CC sticker and a WM pricetag on the same DVD.
