Just got back from BB and Target. Bourne Ultimatum is definitely a 2-disk exclusive to Best Buy. I thought Target's special edition was also two disks but it's just the single disk with a booklet on the back. My mistake. Picked up the steel case and extra disk while they were still available at BB. They were flying out the door pretty fast.

WalMart had "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" gift sets packaged with 3 collectible bookmarks (metal/plastic knickknack that clips onto the page). Sorry I was in a rush but presume it's not the 2-disc since I saw FS and WS. Didn't get the price.

Has anyone bought Target's Harry Potter yet? I have mine, but I don't see
where the bonus disk might be. Isn't it usually taped to the outside of the
disk's package? I took off the fancy slipcover, and it looks like the usual
packaged disk without anything taped on the outside. Is the disk inside the case?

Has there been some information on what on the bonus 4th disc of the Bourne boxset?

I went to Wal Mart tonight and stared long and hard at the Lost set with the bonus disc and decided to pass on it. 2 stunt featurettes and 2 bonus deleted scenes seems a little paltry and I didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to bring a Circuit City ad and talking an employee to price match. WM employees aren't that bright.
I'm going to Circuit City and get it for $34.99 later this week.

The length I'd go just to get the Lost bonus disc....
Since I live in one of those "Walmart-Free-Zone", I've never been there before. So to ensure I got the Circuit City price match, I found a Walmart in a nearby city that has a Circuit City right next to it. Then, I went in the CC to get the weekly ad, and go right to Walmart to price match the ridiculously expansive set from $44.98 to $34.99.
Thankfully, the Walmart cashier was a Lost fan, and she was stunned by how expansive her store was selling the damn thing.
So, in the end, it was a fairly hassle-free experience....and gosh, I almost lost my way in that Walmart, it was huge.
I don't get why Buena Vista/Walmart would try to rip-off their customers by offering the damn exclusive at that price.

Stopped at my local clueless Target yesterday morning for exclusive deluxe edition. Electronics employee insisted they didn't get them in. I went to customer service to complain and ask for a raincheck, he called the desk to say they found them in backroom. I picked one up and opened it in my car to check condition and content.
It had special slipcover but no third disc. I went through the 2nd discs menu options (in-dash DVD player) to make sure Target exclusive content wasn't on a specially-authored disc. Returned to store to complain. New desk employee dug through papers to find a memo telling stores to print new UPC stickers for the Deluxe Editions, becuse once you remove the special deluxe slipcovers, the regular 2-disc version and the 2-disc + Target bonus DVD deluxe editions are indistinguishable--exact same UPC.
I had to go through a couple of them to find one with the third disc inside. Withough opening them up, I just weighed them in my hand. If you remove the cardboard slipcovers from a regular 2-disc and a 3-disc deluxe, you can feel the added weight from the 3rd disc and cardboard envelope inside the case.
So... check before you leave the store to confirm that a 3rd disc is actually inside. Simply grabbing something off the shelf with the deluxe slipcover isn't enough to guarantee you're getting what you expect.

Hey Trevor, that Spider-Man 3 Wal-Mart exclusive also has an all-new exclusive 3D Lenticular slipcover. Also, I only paid $16.76 for it (plus tax).

What image is on the new 3D cover?

Look elsewhere if you don't like shopping at Circuit City. The "4th bonus disc" is a default disc found in the Jason Bourne Collection.
