New release $ comparisons and store exclusives / freebies - 1/18/08 to 1/24/09
Big Release Comparisons
These weekly threads are for price comparisons of all the big new releases, and the posting and discussion of that particular week's store exclusives and freebies.
These lists will likely be incomplete until Wednesday 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.
All Stores - Thread for all movie cash and free ticket deals

Thanks for the welcome back. I went a week without DVDtalk for perhaps the first time in 10 years. It was slightly liberating, but I'm happy to be back.
Updates made, thanks.

I was at FYE today and show that the 2 disc of Max Payne (well, really 1 disc w/ digital copy) had a lenticular slipcover.. It looked like one frame was Max Payne on his knees.. I couldn't quite make out the other part of the cover.. There was no indication that this slipcover was exclusive to FYE, but when I was at WalMart later, they didn't have that same slipcover.. Has anyone seen the lenticular cover for Max Payne anywhere else?

I recall reading about the Circuit City exclusive for Saw V in another thread... I forget what it was to be, but I wonder what will happen to it now? I can only imagine that its lack of availability will wreak havoc amongst certain members here...

I saw it at the Tysons store yesterday. I almost picked it up for the novelty of owning perhaps the last ever CC exclusive. But I held off, for now...
