It's simply Circuit City's way of luring in customers.

The red and black suits alternate, and the arm in the foreground reaches out at you. It didn't come out too good in the scan.

The ad is awfully confusing though because the "Circuit City Exclusive" logo is planted on what looks like a picture of the generic cover art from the Bourne DVD. That isn't connected or very close to the description for the complete collection, but it's also even further away from the free Napster description, which apparently is the only "exclusive" Circuit City has for Bourne. That description actually looks like it refers to Die Hard 4, although that would defy logic. This is about the worst layout I've ever seen in the weekly DVD ads.
And just so it's clear one more time, The Bourne Box has a fourth bonus disc no matter where you buy it. Got mine at Costco. It's housed in the passport which makes it like it's own little release rather than just being in a envelope like I have seen in other releases.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
Lost S3 @ Wal-Mart
Thanks for the advice SI78 (and of course TVJunkie).
Picked up season three from Wal-Mart for $34.98. And yes, I did look for the most disinterested clerk. She ripped out the page from the Circuit City ad and re-priced the DVD; most sway.
There is a story here.
There are two Wal-Marts in my area; Colton and Rialto (California).
Generally one of the stores will have a DVD cheaper than the other as well as different titles in the five dollar bin. It pays to look about.
They also have different placement - DVD sets are bundled together with this security wire/net. And naturally it won't be loose on the set, it has to be as tight as possible; denting all the boxes inside the lock. I hate that. Anyhow...
I go the the Rialto shop and see S3 for $39.98. I coudn't pick it up on Tuesday, but knew I wanted it with the bonus disc. They have a bunch of copies. The Colton branch is selling it for $44.98 by the way.
A few hours ago. I went to Rialto with the Circuit City ad in had. What did I see? They changed the price. It's now $44.98. WTF? That has never happened before.

For Harry Potter, Transworld had an exclusive lithograph -- one of those cardboard frame thingies with a glossy still from the movie (looked to be either 5x7 or maybe 8x10). Looked nice, but it didn't move me enough to want to buy the movie again.
Also, Borders had a very unusual exclusive. It was the 2-disc version of the movie accompanied by an exclusive hardcover book. I don't think it was "Order of the Phoenix" itself but I don't remember it being a wholly unique book, either. I think it may have been a supplemental guide book of sorts, albeit a "Borders exclusive" edition. The most unusual aspect of this package was the fact that the book (which was wider and taller than the DVD keepcase) was packaged INSIDE the slipcover -- they actually went to the trouble of making a larger-size version of it to accommodate this exclusive! I think this edition was selling for $39.99, maybe a few dollars off during the first week. Due to its larger size and the weight of the hardcover book, most copies I came across had the slipcover fairly beaten up and none were pristine, even during the first day of sale. Anyway, just figured I'd add that to the list.
