Re: HBO Blu-ray sale at BestBuy.com and Amazon
Best Buy and Target each had their own exclusive bonus disc (on Blu-ray and on DVD) and if the bonus was with the BD it was a bonus BD disc, and if it was the bonus with the DVD it was a bonus DVD disc, if that makes sense. It was cool, because rarely are bonus discs actually Blu-ray discs, even if they come with the Blu-ray. Here are the contents of each:
Best Buy Exclusive: Inside the Battle: Peleliu (20 mins, 30 sec)
An exclusive historical look at the battle of Peleliu. Combining exclusive historian and veteran interviews with real footage from the battle of Peleliu, this featurette illustrates the massive undertaking of the battle of Peleliu in the Pacific theater of World War II.
Target Exclusive: War on the Home Front (12 mins, 35 sec)
While the Marines were battling the Japanese in the Pacific theater, a different kind of war was being waged on the U.S. home front. Patriotism was soaring and the mood back in the states was one of collective spirit, a great coming together was underway. From the perspectives of the surviving veterans and family members, this featurette takes an in-depth look at life on the home front during the Pacific theater in World War II.

Re: HBO Blu-ray sale at BestBuy.com and Amazon
That's a good price for both the Pacific and Deadwood (don't own either on DVD), but, since I already picked up the fifth season of The Wire today at BB (the only season I still needed) and I ordered the Complete Series of the Larry Sanders Show from Amazon yesterday, both ocurring after I had said I was done buying DVDs/BDs for the year, I'm forcing myself to show restraint and avoiding buying either of them...until next year's HBO sale.

I was pretty pleased at my local BB. They had set up a small section right when you walk into the store for "store pick-up" only. No heavy waiting at customer service as I had feared. Got it in five minutes and was out the door. They still had a few copies with the exclusive disc left. I just wish the disc would fit into the tin. Even with the slim case, it makes it too thick to close the tin.

I am so tempted to order Deadwood and John Adams at Amazon, $93.99 and $31.49
And check out the DVDTALK REVIEW on Deadwood BD..........and John Adams BD.

Ordered The Pacific and Deadwood blu-rays Sunday night. Just arrived this afternoon. Thanks, Amazon Prime! The Deadwood set looks amazing. Neat, sturdy and compact.

Picked up The Pacific from BB. They had around 5 or so exclusives left and since I got there at 8:30 in the morning there was no line at all
Now if I can find someone to sell me their Target exclusive disc I'll be set.

I ordered Band of Brothers. I have never seen it nor The Pacific. But I have heard BOB is just a tad better than Pacific so I will hold off on it until I finish BOB.
