I didn't see anything at toysrus.com either. Walmart.com has it listed for $23.86. My Best Buy has honored those before so I might try my luck with it tomorrow.

Of course, I probably jinxed myself now by mentioning it. :doh:

If you go to the weekly ad for this week on toysrus.com, it is on the 2nd page at the very bottom right.

It wasn't smug or wasteful.

The weekly ad is right there on the Toy R Us main page.

Sorry for the short reply, but I just assumed people knew their homepage address and would see the ad listed clearly on the front page. I did within 10 seconds. The other reason for the short reply was I was writing on my ipod touch and had my 2 y/o son screaming for me. Was just trying to be helpful.

I see it now. I guess I was looking for a text link that says "Weekly Ad" like on Best Buy's site. I didn't think to look for an actual picture of an ad. :hscratch:

Target's BD version has a dvd copy in it, they have it for $24.99. They took the coupon problem.

PMed Toys'R'Us and used coupon at BB. $19.99 out the door is not too bad.

Same here..............PLUS price matched TRU at Wal-Mart for the Bonus DVD and used the coupon.

I got it for $13.99. :)


Thanks OP.

Tried that, but got shot down because it was not the same version.

I'm thinking of maybe selling the one I got at BB though seeing as they fetch over $50 and use the profits to buy either the UK or German version that will have all the features of both the WM and BB versions (German is about $40).

Anyone know yet if either the German or UK versions are region free?

Re: Redbox: Get a $3 BD coupon towards This Is it
 
Just checked amazon.de and it comes out to $47 roughly shipped (1 disc BD with all special features from all US releases, steelbook and all paper extras). Amazon.co.uk comes out to $27 and is not steelbook and no paper extras.

Wouldn't the German edition have German writing on the paperwork?

Probably on the 24 page booklet, but not on the 3 backstage passes and 4 postcards though. Not a problem for me though since I understand German (pretty similar to Norwegian). I'm leaning towards the UK version though since I could just keep the free steelbook from BB and it is a much better price.

Still need to find out if they are region free or not though. They are coming out on the 25th and I might miss out on the German edition since it is limited, but the UK one should be fine not preordering it. Someone might want to go for the Japanese version - it's only about $110 :)

Thanks for the heads up on this. Picked up the 2 disc limited edition blu ray from Best Buy. A bit on the pricey side, so the coupon helped!

Just a heads up that the amazon.de exclisive dropped in price from €23.97 to €14.97! Now I'm definitely ordering it. I had debated it for a while. Had put it in my cart and periodically checked back to see if it changed price or went out of stock. Just over $36 shipped to the US now :) I have the Best Buy SB and version 2 from them that I got for about $15-$16 after coupon and PM. Will be selling those for a nice profit and should come close to or even cover the purchase price for everything.

Also, for those afraid of ordering I can assure you all that even though the US version was region locked the European versions have all been confirmed region ABC (region free) including the special features that are also in HD. The German version has all the special features that all the US versions had combined onto one disc. It also contains all the backstage passes etc and it is all written in English. Everything on the disc is in English including menus. In fact the only German writing on this is on the top surface of the disc for the rating (different system than here). The whole thing comes ina BD sized SB.
For $25 you can order from amazon.co.uk. Their version has the same disc, but no SB and no backstage passes (just the 24 page booklet).

US customers really got screwed on this one domestically.

Just wanted to say thanks sotra. I enjoyed 'This Is It' but didn't think I would buy it to own. The deal on amazon.de made me change my mind.

No problem. The amazon.de deal is pretty darn good when you consider that it includes the exlusive extra features that Wal Mart, Best Buy and Blockbuster had. To get all this German version includes you would've had to buy 6 versions over here (3 BB, Blockbuster, WM and Futureshop for the BD size steelbook) and end up paying over $120! Not to mention all the extra discs and duplicates.
I'm not a diehard MJ fan, but I couldn't pass up this deal. Hopefully there will be others that will get in on this deal before they either raise the price or sell out.
Just a quick note if anyone's afraid of ordering from overseas and especially since it is all in German on their site - they have some English help pages found on their front page. Also you can just use your sign in details
from amazon.com and whatever payment methods you usually use.

How much did you pay for this item shipped from amazon.de? My total is showing up as $37.77 USD and I'm not having any of that.

That's about right. You can stick with your inferior US version if you prefer or save about $100 compared to getting the same product over here like I explained in my previous posts.
Check this link - http://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-mov...ml#post2980368 - for what is included in this BD. Pretty impressive IMHO. For me the outlay won't be that high after selling BB version 2 and the BB SB.

Edit: Go for the amazon.co.uk version if you want it cheaper (about $25 shipped). No SB, postcards or passes, but you get the exact same disc and the 24 page booklet.
