Thanks for the picutre. Now I'm that much happier I spent the extra time to go to Target this morning. I too would like to see the difference in the DVD sets from Target and the others.

Anyone wanna post a pic of the inside of the standard set?

I picked up my Target copy at lunch using the $5 off coupon, no questions asked. Looked like there were 12 copies of the exclusive set and I was the first one to buy one.

What is the best deal on the HD-DVD version?

To answer my own question, it appears to be at Amazon.com. $66.45 after 5% off coupon "tvguide5."

Yeah I believe they had a whole box full of them when they were first putting them out. I'm pretty sure the Bionic Woman thing is just something to wet your whistle enough to want to tune in to watch the pilot episode which won't air until this fall sometime.

the main differences I can see are:


Regular Set: No extra flap, 7 Discs, cast picture as inside box cover (from seeing the commercial for the regular DVD set)

Target Set: Special Eclipse Cutout Slipcover, 4 Mini-Paintings, Extra Flap holding the mini-paintings and the Disc 8 info listed, 8 Discs (bonus disc with Paley Festival interview and character profiles for Claire, Niki, Peter, Hiro, and Mohinder), spine of the set has HEROES shown the way it is on the front cover (vertically), and the inside box cover of this set is shown in more pictures below

also by looking at the pictures of the regular set on the Heroes site the artwork behind the discs seems to be different between the sets too

other than Discs 1-7 it is safe to say that the Target Set is completely different than the regular set...easily worth the $8 difference in price

Had to go to 2 Targets, but I got my exclusive. They took my $5 off coupon too. I love the case.

Coupon worked fine for me at my local Target.

I resized it in Photoshop to about 3.75" wide and printed it on a nice laser printer.

The lady couldn't swipe/scan it but it worked fine when she used the scanner gun. I would guess that most people after swiping it and it not working are going to look at it closer, so YMMV.

There was only one set left after I picked up mine too, so anyone who hasn't picked this up yet, you better hurry out to your local store.

The coupon worked fine for me, too. I paid for mine in the electronics department rather than the front register, so the clerk used a scanning gun by default. Judging by the display space, it appears my local Target initially set out about equal amounts of both sets. But, it definitely looked like more deluxe editions were sold than regular sets. Many thanks to the OP for the $5 off coupon! For $39.99, this is a great looking 8-disc set!

My local Target was the same. Two facings of each on the top shelf. Regualr was still full, I grabbed the last exclusive one.

No time to go to Target today, and I didn't print the coupon yet. I hope they have some left by the time I get a chance to go tonight...

The L.A. store on La Cienega near Rodeo had a good 8 left on the shelf. The coupon also worked but the clerk did ask where I got it from. I told her online and she made no additional stink.

does anyone have a pic or cover scan of the Target exclusive box (closed)? thanks in advance.

Can't get it.

I'd like to get a regular coupon size. This full sheet printout looks ridiculous and I can see them second guessing and ultimately rejecting it.

hope these help

That Target box looks pretty sweet.

I wish the HD-DVD set had an extra flap to hold the booklet.

The picture looked big online, but printed out normal size for me.

If that is not the case for you, don't you have any sort of basic photo editing software to just shrink it down.

Thanks very much to the OP for the $5 coupon! Had no hassles from the cashier.

I saved the picture to my computer, then opened it with regular old Paint, and it printed out the perfect size.

Picked the last one up at Burbank Target at around 8:20 or so (unless they had stock in the back, they had open boxes all over the place and no more exclusives).

Bought it for a friend as a gift since I have the HD-dvd version on the way from Amazon, but the pictures above, and the dubious quality of the video on the HD version, tempt me to keep this for myself...

Got the coupon reduced in size and printed in color. Cashier took it and it scanned with no problems.

I used it toward the regular edition for $32.99, after coupon. I wasn't interested in the Target "exclusives," not worth it to me. I just wanted the lowest possible price. There's enough extras on the set as it is.

So I'm happy!

P.S. At the Target I went to, there was an equal number of regular and "exclusive" editions.

I inserted the coupon into a Microsoft Word file and it was the perfect size. Not really sure why, but it worked out great. No resizing needed to be done.

I chose to print more than one per page - four - and I got one printed the size I wanted on the page.

This is also the most I've spent on a DVD all year!

P.S. With all this talk about the Target "exclusives," the comic book being offered at BBuy has been completely overlooked. What's it like? Any good? That might have interested me more than the Target offer.

Also, at Target, regular prices, the price difference between regular and exclusive is $5 - $50 vs $55.

But with the "sale," it's $7 - $38 vs $45.

My Target has 4 exclusive editions available. One went home with me.

I love the fact that the extra disc is a part of the set, rather than being shrink-wrapped on to the regular packaging like so many others.

Got mine at Target and used the coupon, no problem. She did have to use the scanner gun though. Atleast she didn't have to type in the long number. They HATE doing that.

Was told they got 12 sets per store. Not sure how accurate that is though.
