That's how it is pictured in the ad that's in the latest Entertainment Weekly. It looks exactly the same as the other picture in this thread, but it shows the book sliding halfway out of the slipcase.

Here's a screencap from the Target site showing the weekly ad.

I tried to blow it up as large as I could, but it got blurry.





I just hope that the discs aren't actually kept inside the book. Which is sort of how the ad makes it look like.

It's one of two things:

Either the entire packaging is the book and the discs are in sleeves (one in the front and one in the back). Or, you get a 2-disc packaging of either SD or BD with the book wrapped to the back of it.

It looks like they are. I haven't opened it yet, but the only thing in the slip case is the hardcover book, so the discs have gotta be in it.

Well crack it open. I'm debating having someone pick this up for me, but am feeling unsure. Does it seem worth it, or should I just go for a standard package?

Found this on High-Def Digest Forum. It's a picture of the Blu-Ray, but I imagine the DVD is the same. I'm in!

Exactly the same for the 2-Disc DVD. The Target Exclusive is very nice. I'm very glad I went with it! Plus, I used the $3.00 off coupon from Papa John's, so, I got it for $19.99 plus tax.

The book is awesome. The Preface is by Steven Spielberg, with the Foreword by Harrison Ford.

Thanks alot! I had no intention of getting this after being disappointed by it in the theater. But, because of that pic, I just spent $30 on it.

Now that I have it in my hands, it was definitely worth it. So much better than the standard Blu-ray case.

Just got it from Target.

It's exactly like the picture that rmick posted.

It's not just pictures either.

The 'BluRay' packaging is a must buy!... I am glad that I went with this and not the 'Mini-Skull' DVD from Best Buy... as I don't think that I would ever use the $20 discount at the collectors site..

I just got my Target Exclusive on Bluray. Love this packaging. They had about 8 blurays left today around 4pm. I also stop by FYE to pick up the SD Steelbook, but they had over 30 copies sitting there. I'll wait til Friday (payday) to pick it up. If you haven't gotten the Target Edition..go out and get it ...it's worth it...

So the book holds the discs? They are not separated?

I was going back and forth all day trying to decide to pick this blu-ray up or not. My girlfriend finally told me she was going to punch me if I didn't go buy it because she was sick of hearing about it.

So glad I did, it's definitely worth it even if I really didn't have the cash for it right now.

Well I went and got this today. Looks like great packaging which I am a sucker for. I don't even have my blu ray player yet (Saturday delivery) but already have four movies. So much for not wasting money on buying movies.
This will be my first movie to watch on Saturday with my new player so I am looking forward to seeing what blu can do.
