Hot Fuzz 2-disc exclusive at Wal-Mart
 

just saw this posted on Edgar Wright's Myspace:

so i dealt with CD-WOW for a month to get the R2 2-disc and now it'll be available in the U.S. with the Fuzzball Rally feature---damn it:mad2:

So, we all have to buy this at Wal-Mart to get the 2-disc? And is this gonna be one of their stupid 2 separate cases side by side or one case? Oh, I must know more!

Well, that'd be pretty sweet. I wasn't planning on picking this up, but we'll see now. :)

Still, it probably won't be including all the commentaries.

Shit, now I have to decide whether to get this or get HF and Shawn Of The Dead for $20 at Bestbuy.

Whats' the Fuzzball rally?

Fuzzball rally is a Region 1 exclusive documentary about the promotional appearences and marketing campaign in the U.S. starring Pegg and Frost.

Can we price match this at Walmart with the BestBuy ads?

I don't think Wal-Mart will pricematch one of their DVDs when it comes with a bonus disc, but then again it's always worth a try, and it's possibly you'll get someone to do it anyway.

For anyone wondering, here's a link to the Edgar Wright MySpace blog.

Rarrrragh!!! I did the exact same thing!!! I was so sure they wouldn't port that second disc over for SD-DVD.

I might have to pick it up and sell/trade my R2 version.

Grrrrrrr.

If this is actually true, I'l be jumping for joy. But he's pretty vague.

Edit- Also, his "currently watching" pick is hilarious.

I'm confused. I thought that the Fuzzball Rally was a standard extra on all the R1 releases. The way I took Wright's comment was to mean that you were getting all of the extras from the R2 release (which I guess implies that the normal R1 release is missing some of these) in addition to the Fuzzball Rally. The normal R1 release only has some of the R2 features plus the Fuzzball Rally.

No?

correct, the R2 version has everything the R1 has except Fuzzball Rally and has a second disc of additional features....from what i understand the Wal-Mart 2 disc will be everything that is with the R2 version plus the Fuzzball Rally feature

I really doubt that the Wal-mart edition will have the 4 commentaries that are on the R2.
The R1 has only 1 commentary in its standard R1 edition so unless Wal Mart gets a different Disk 1 of this set it will still be missing quite a bit.
Im just glad i finally got a Region free player and the R2 dvd recently.
However it sucks i wont get to see fuzzball rally.

I don't know... I'm very skeptical that that is the case. I suspect what's happening is you'll get the standard R1 release plus the Fuzzball Rally on a 2nd DVD making it a 2 DVD deal (not a 3 DVD deal as some seem to be implying). I could be wrong but I find it hard to believe anyone would go through the trouble of transferring the R2 to R1 version and then only releasing it at one location.

Fuzzball Rally is on the 1 disk R1 release and is available on every R1 1-disk edition of the movie.

That's it! I'm not gonna bite. I'm happy with my R2 edition.

will power will power will power will power.....

from his comments it seems to me like you'll get the regular r1 disc everywhere (which includes Fuzzball rally) and then it will probably be packed side-by-side with the bonus disc which would essentially be the r2 2nd disc.

so pretty much, this will be the 'ultimate edition' that contains all extras (although it will most likely be missing the additional commentaries)



anyway....i'm in Hot Fuzz is my fav movie of the year so far, so i'll be headed to walmart to pick this up

do you think it will really be side by side? i hope not, i hate that

i hope it is a regular 2-disc set...but i'm pretty sure walmart will screw us over with the side by side or a cardboard sleeve shrink-wrapped to the single disc amaray

Anyone have a picture?

just buy a blank 2-disc amaray case...problem solved.

What is on the British DVD that the US one doesn't have?

I'm fine with that. I only hope we get all the commentaries.

shouldn't wal-mart have this on their website already? is this a certainty?

# Audio Commentary by the Real Fuzz
# Audio Commentary by Sandford Village People (Dalton, Woodward, etc)
# Audio Commentary by Sandford Police (Pegg, Frost, Broadbent, etc.)


# Visual FX Before & After (8 Scenes) (6m 0s)
# Blogs 1-12 Plus the Lost Blog (32m 20s)
# Dead Right (40m 10s)
-Dead Wright Commentay with Edgar Wright
-Dead Wright Commentary with Pegg and Frost
# Here Come the Fuzz (4m 16s)
# We Made Hot Fuzz-Making of Documentary (29m 31s)
# Art Department (4m 48s)
# Flip Chart (14m 0s)

Or in other words most of the stuff is available only on R2 edition.
And it is quite an awesome DVD if i might say so.

I can indeed confirm that Wal-Mart will have the bonus disc (I work in the electronics dept. overnight). I looked specifically for the disc last night. It will be a side by side jobber.

The bonus disc looks to have some interesting extras on it (and a decent amount too... not some fluffy 5 min epk's). I'll try to take a pic of it tonight... or at least notate the extras on the bonus disc.

I guess that also confirms that the first disc is the same as the normal R1 version, and that means that the other extras on the first disc of the R2 version, more commentaries and the such, aren't on the Wal-Mart exclusive set. :(

when you say 'side-by-side' do you mean an extra amaray case attached to the original case??

If you get a chance, please check how many commentaries are listed on the main disc.

Yea, it's shrinkwrapped alongside it like when they package a new release with an older DVD. It's just like how they did the Munich release.

I'll do that tonight and let you all know in the morning. I'll try to take a pic of it.

Thanks!!

I hate those SidebySides

Yep, but they've been doing it that way for years. They have at least 1 title a week with an exclusive this way.

One benefit of the way WM does it is that the main title is still sealed, making it easy to ebay or re-gift. Less double-dipping for us completists.

True.

Sorry if this have been covered, but has there been any mention on the price for the set with the bonus disc?
Later

Walmart is always YMMV. Walmarts 1 mile from each other can have drastically different prices.

But roughly, new releases are $15.87, and new releases with bundled exclusives are $19.87.

Some Walmarts apparently have the exclusives bundles at the same lower price, but I've never been that lucky.

I have the dvd here, it has one commentary on it featuring Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.

Man, I wish this was coming out on Blu-Ray. I'm sure I'll pick up a copy at WalMart for the bonus disc.

Any idea what exactly is on the bonus DVD? From the way some people are talking I think a lot of people are expecting the 2nd DVD of the UK 2DVD set, but I'm still a little skeptical that that is going to be the case.

Alright here's the features on the bonus disc

sorry the pics are so big (and blurry), I don't have photochop installed.

Hope this answers some questions.

P.S. I know it's the fullscreen version, but we have so many boxes for the new stuff that I wasn't about to dig further. I'm sure it's in WS as well.
