I've heard good things about Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis but to this day I've never seen even 1 second of any episode of either, and I guess the only way to do that is to sign up for Netflix? However I remember hearing a rumor that Netflix pulled 1 or both of those from their streaming recently. Does anyone with Netflix know?
One could order all 5 season BDs for ISP and get a $25 GC plus a $10 digital coupon. That seems better than buying the box set for $90 at Amazon. If only I knew I'd like the entire series enough to buy it. Can you enjoy/follow Atlantis without having seen SG-1 first?

I picked up the Terminator set, and its very nice. The face is embossed and metallic, and overall the set is heavy and well put together. Here are some quick pics:

Amazon Instant Video has them. (free if you have Prime)

SG-1 is the better show, but I don't think you'd be lost jumping into Atlantis. It was pretty much it's own thing. There are some crossover characters(mainly Captain/General Carter), but I'm sure you can figure things out.

Re: Best Buy Ad 08/26 - 09/01/12
Yeah, I got that deal too. OUAT + Homeland + $10 GC for $55 including tax. Pretty good deal, since the sticker prices of the two sets are $52.99 and $44.99 respectively.
Looking forward to watching Homeland -- a blind buy I've heard great things about.

Be careful if you're picking up the Battleship BD/DVD with the exclusive disc. Some of the combos have it (indicated by a sticker on the slip cover) and some don't.

It is not in the ad,and I didn't see it on their website.Like the
Cinderella (Collectible Case) one can be bought for $7.50 + free shipping.
From what I read yesterday.Not every Best buy had them out.
As a different company stocks the media section to make matters worse.
Or they just sold out fast.Scalpers are buying these up and trying to sell them on Ebay etc.
If you really want one. I would call or show up at your local BB 1st thing when they open up.
Here is the SKU: 6316045

The Avengers case was on a endcap with the DVDs and Blus of the Avengers Universe movies. In my local store, the endcap was on the end of an aisle facing the car audio department, close to the registers.

Having so few of these, it sounds like a ploy to get people into the stores. Fuck that.

Anyone get Once upon a time at Target? I blindbought it there and noticed the UPC sticker is slightly different than at Walmart, Best Buy etc. In the weekly Target ad it says they have an exclusive cast Q&A, but there was no stickers indicating so on the cover (Homeland and Sons of Anarchy had exclusives indicated on the front). So, anyone see stickers on OuaT DVD or BD (that I got) and opened it to see if there was an exclusive? Thanks! I'll wait and open it when I find out.

I didn't buy it at Target, but when I was there, for the DVD version, I saw both a version without the exclusive and an exclusive one with the bonus dvd shrinkwrapped to it. The exclusive had a different looking outer sleeve on it. I wasn't buying the Blu-ray, so I'm not sure if the exclusive had different packaging a la the DVD version.

Thinking about doubledipping on that Terminator set even though all 5 discs are the same that I already have, but I would only consider it if I could do the $50+ pickup (pair it with LBP2 SE PS3 - $20). Now I know today is the last day for the pickup promo, but anyone know if you have to pick it up today? Or can you order today and pick it up some other day and still get the $10?

So, to be safe you should pick up on 8/31/12. Otherwise you're rolling the dice. I spent a good 30+ minutes trying to find something else I want to order over $50 for in-store pickup tomorrow (since I have to go to the mall anyway), but there just isn't anything else. Even if I returned and rebought OUTA S1 BD (the only thing I bought this week), I'd still have to find something I want >= $10.01 which I haven't been able to do. People are talking about tons of series, but I've never seen Walking Dead, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, or Sons of Anarchy, and I don't have Amazon Prime or Netflix to stream them. The only 1 I was willing to blind buy was OUTA due to all of the rave reviews.
