Nice to see some of the former 3D exclusives come out. A bit pricy, but HTTYD, Megamind, and Monsters vs. Aliens will be mine at some point this year...

It's another misprint. The Best Buy ad shows blu-ray-DVD-digital copy next to the blu-ray-digital copy version. How hard is it to proof read an ad?

Was hoping for another "Save $$ when you buy 2 or all 3" deal. Guess I will hold out also.

Atleast I'm getting Thor 3D for 26.xx from Amazon after the Target pm and goldbox price.

By that logic, $100 wouldn't be "outrageous at all" for a full season of something like 24.

If seasons of 24 were released on Blu-ray they would probably be priced closer to $100 than $10 on release day.

Thats comprable to other series with smaller seasons like that.
Mad men and walking dead come to mind.

Its also about half the cost of the fist season of spartacus that was about 45-50 dollars on release andfeatured 4 discs
Starz essentially priced this 50 percent less since its half as many episodes.

Star Wars Complete dropped to $79.99 on bb.com so will likely be $79.99 in stores.

If you look up the ad on their website, it says 79.99 now, so that's likely the case.

Just got back from Best Buy and bought the Thor Blu-ray Exclusive and Supernatural season 6 with the T-shirt. The T-shirt is a large, but I hate how wrinkled it is due to the tissue paper they put in it.
