No, I get it now - thanks

Ok, cool. NBC's description is misleading and makes it sounds like you actually get a separate item. Reminds me back when "disc art" and "menu selections" were listed as special features :lol:

So thanks to BB's screwup I managed to get the Season 1 set today for $34. I had just finished watching disc 1 through Netflix this morning and was itching to see the rest. However, despite the fact I do not own a BR or HD player, I think I am going to return the set and eventually pick up the HD set in a year or so once I get my hands on a dual format player.

Netflix for the rest of the season it is then. Besides, by then hopefully it won't be $99/season. :)

with all the simple gray face discs (zodiac, disturbia) or the black text on disc (hot fuzz, anything universal it seems), the discs are so plain and non-descript i almost miss the "disc art" as a "special feature."

Actually, I think that the Hot Fuzz disc art is kind of clever:

^ it is a happy coincidence, so i suppose you can look at it that way. if that truly was the reason why the disc art is the way it is, then i'm all for it.

BUT seeing as all of universal's recent discs follow that black text style (see: children of men, smokin' aces, alpha dog, king kong deluxe edition, etc. etc. etc.) i'm guessing it's more universal being cheap and not wanting to put disc artwork on the dvd and not a clever tongue-in-cheek reference to the movie itself. i can't know for sure, but it sure seems that way.

Yeah, I just looked at my Children of Men and King Kong and you're right.

I'll have to watch those movies again and look for the DVDs in them that look like that. ;)

I know this thread is old now (over a week since the last post!) but I had some sticker-shock at Target tonight... the Exclusive set is $54.99 now. :( I used the $5 off $25 coupon to soften the blow a bit, but I figured it was still worth it since there are no Targets in Canada.

When I tried to purchase the Target exclusive 8 DVD set last night in College Point, Queens, they rang up $59.99. I pointed out that they had it listed on the SHELF for $36.99 and after they checked, they rang it up at the lower price for me, so you may want to go back with a receipt. The $36.99 price was good until 9/15 according to what they listed.

You got lucky. The $36.99 price ($31.99 after coupon) is for the regular version, clearly pictured in the weekly flyer.

I guess I did because I didn't know any better, but in a way that was their fault because they only had the Target Exclusive versions on the shelves with the $36.99 pricetag. I didn't even realize there was one separate!
