Heroes in-store excusives?
 

Any chance of the B&M stores having Heroes exclusives, or am I safe pre-ordering through Amazon?

I'd say there is a pretty good chance of an exclusive.

And an equally good chance that all of them will be little more than insignificant, tawdry fluff. ;)

Well that goes without saying. Of the 400 or so bonus discs I own, maybe 20 are "significant."

Somebody should think to package the DVD set with the Graphic Novel.

When does the graphic novel come out anyway?

sucks the HD-DVD version will get shafted out of the in store exclusives, and cost more while the DVD version will have the in store exclusives and cost less =(

DC Comics will be publishing a print version sometime this fall (specific date not yet announced). However, they are already "out" in electronic form here (for free): http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/

Given how awesome the HD DVD set sounds, I'll be able to live without the Heroes coffee mug or promo featurette DVD. :)


But your point is well-taken. I'm hoping that we soon get to the point when HD releases are given the same bonus goodies as standard def.

Get an Extra 5% off the price
 

If you ordered directly from Amazon then you paid 38.89 whereas if you went through www.tvguide.com/dvd you will get an extra 5% off making it 37.04. Also there are 20 titles of scifi movies coming out and you can get the extra 5% off which by the way goes through Amazon.com.The HD DVD version is sale priced @ 66.45 vs 69.95.

They handed out Heroes comics at San Diego Comic Con... Unfortunately, I didn't get one, but I looked at someone else's... Saw em on Ebay, too...

Any word on any exclusives yet?

I pre-ordered with that TVGuide deal, since I don't think that price will be beatable but am still wondering if I might be missing out on some good in-store exclusives.

Hey guys, talked to my local Target and they have a pretty nice exclusive. You get a bonus disc with a 45 minute interview with the cast, 4 mini paintings (didn't know exact size), and an exclusive slipcase/box. The cover is a little different from what I was told.

The price will be $44.99. Regular edition will be advertised for $39.99.

^ that sounds awesome! probably will be getting it at target... but i'm guessing bb/cc will have their own cool exclusives too... i kinda hope not just because i would probably end up buying 3 copies to get all the exclusives...

also, i went to suncoast.you can get a free poster when you pre-order heroes. don't know the size of the poster or who/what is on it, but it looks like that will be their only exclusive, no bonus disc or anything according to the store associate.

Sold :)

Thanks for the Amazon discount code!! For that price, no sales tax, and free shipping = I am sold!!

Hopefully somebody can figure out what BB/CC exclusives are (if any) so I could know whether I'm going to Target or BB/CC ;D

Best Buy Exclusive Comic Book w/ purchase. $36.99. If the Target Deluxe Edition proves true, that should be the place to get it. surprised BB had kind of a bland exclusive honestly. and it's doubtful CC will have anything better if their track record is any indication.

Until I see the Target edition, I'm pretty content with the deal I got through Amazon with the TVGuide discount. Waiting for pictures from Target to pop up to decide how I really feel.

Right now it seems as if target has the best exclusives, best buy's is weak compared to it. All depends on what CC has to offer now

It would have to be pretty fuckin' amazing for me to buy it at CC after the way they've treated DVDTalk.

Anyone know what the price will be for the HD version at BB?

^ 99.99 is in the ad. so it doesn't look like there's any first-week price break for the HD version.

Here's a picture of it in next weeks Target ad.

Heroes at Barnes and Noble
 

The HD version is 78 bucks...for members...any chance anyone has a member number I can "borrow" now if that happens that would be a steal!

oooh, that looks cool. anyone know if that other cover is a larger slipcase that is put over the "regular" box, like target's deluxe version of devil wears prada? or is like target's deluxe OC season 4 where its the same inside but just has a different cover?

Here are some coupons:

its a slipcase, goes over the normal box

thanks for the info! i am definitely SOLD. will be there at 7:45am on tuesday waiting for the store to open. ;)

I highly recommend waiting. B&N typically puts new releases at 20% or 30% off around release day. This was full price yesterday, and went to 15% off today. I'll bet you anything it drops to 20% or 30% by next Tuesday... Then combine with the member discount and coupon for a super bargain!

Looks like I'm stopping at Target before my orientation at my new job on Tuesday...

Anyone know the price on Friday Night Lights S1? Will probably just pick it up while I'm there.

Good idea. Here are some more coupons that people can use...

the picture from the Target Ad doesn't say "Bonus DVD Included"...it just says "...with 45 Mins of content..."...so does that mean the exclusive stuff will just be on one of the discs already in the set?

i have a feeling it'll end up like the 300 deal and just be something already on the disc but you get a different slipcover or the 45 min interview will be the Larry King interview which i already have recorded

I've reconsidered. While the slipcover does look cool, I don't need to pay an extra $10 for content I can most likely watch online and some paintings that will just sit in the box. Amazon is getting my $ this week.

Frankly, exclusives are starting to bother me. Feeling the need to rush to the store on a Tuesday morning before going to work and class for the most part just doesn't seem worthwhile.

after really thinking about how that Target ad was worded I think the only exclusive material will be the box slipcover and 4 mini-paintings. Yes, it says "45 minutes of content" but it doesn't say "bonus content" or "bonus DVD" or anything like that. After looking at the IGN review of the standard set I think the 45 minutes the ad refers to are the featurettes already announced (excluding the unaired pilot and deleted scenes)

I could be completely wrong about this...but my opinion is that there isn't any bonus content in the Target set as far as the way it looks right now.

(not really a rant but I have seen stores start doing this more and more...wording their ads to make it seem like you are getting something more but they are only putting the time of the bonus features already on the sets or DVD's. These stores sell their "Exclusive Deluxe Collector's Limited Editions" and the ads say buy such and such set exclusive to whatever store and inside the exclusive statement they just say stuff that all the regular editions would have anyway)

Where's the cheapest place to get the Heroes Season 1 on DVD? I am a member of B&N btw..

ive only really seen target do that regularly. they like to put a different slipcover or box around the regular packaging and slap an "exclusive" sticker on it.

off-hand, ghost rider and 300 come to mind.

If you don't care about freebies and only want the best price, B&N is the way to go. It is $41.98 but only $31.49 with the 15% off member coupon... Plus free expedited shipping (usually UPS 2nd Day). I don't think you'll beat that anywhere...

Alright thanks that's actually what I was thinking I just wanted to make sure!

I'll be at Target at opening to see what the exclusive looks like and if I wanna spend the extra money. If it's not worth it, then I'll go somewhere else.
