Here's what I'm in for, so far:
Single-Disc from Best Buy (of which I've already sold the DVD, but, get to keep the Batpod poster and The Joker playing card).
2-Disc Limited Edition w/Batman Mask packaging from Target
2-Disc Limited Edition w/The Joker cover and Bonus Journal from Circuit City.
I want the Steelbook from F.Y.E, but, since I haven't pre-ordered, I doubt they'll have any left. I'll have to call them tomorrow to find out.

I came across these on Best Buy Canada's website (the US site has image placeholders) and should give consumers an idea as to what the Gift Sets will look like come next Tuesday:
No images with Batman's helmet were available.
If Circuit City has the Blu-ray version of The Joker slipcover and the Bonus Journal, I'm in. I read a review somewhere that the DVD transfer was somewhat disappointing, so it's BR or broke for me.

This is kind of a silly question, but how limited do you guys think the "batpod" BD set is?
Do you think it's one of those show up when the store opens and hope to get lucky or more a permanent thing that will be around for awhile?

Count me in the "Why So Serious Cover or Cheapest Option" Blu-ray crowd. However, since it's not listed on their site or anywhere else yet, I'm not terribly hopeful. 
That artwork design is fantastic. I actually think I prefer that to the Joker Card art as a DVD / Blu-ray cover.

I just made my decision. Target Blu-Ray mask. Takes up less space, and I already have the Iron Man and Hulk exclusives... Gotta loves all the different options we have though. Lots of these are way cool...
My BB is doing the midnight thing (they didn't for Iron Man) but it's the farthest location from me. If it was my local store, I might go...

I say that if it's something you want, just pre-order it and pick it up at your convenience at the customer service counter on the day of its release - problem solved. This way, you don't have to endure the elbowing and shoving customers when the store opens.

Circuit Shitty if they have that cover for the Blu-Ray, Target exclusive if they don't. Too bad Target didn't offer HULK with their exclusive packaging on Blu-Ray, but I have to support any retailer that offers the choice of BD or DVD, when too often it's only the latter. 
Haven't been feeling any of the Best Buy mini-busts (DK, IRON MAN, CRYSTAL SKULL) -- they should have made the Clown mask larger, like their V FOR VENDETTA exclusive! -- and I might have picked up the Bat-Pod if it was the Tumbler.

Renting, TYVM. Don't need any waste-of-money tzotchkes that aren't worth any more than the plastic they're made from, or any bs gimmicky packaging (ooooh, steelbook!), despite the earnest labeling of "LIMITED EDITION!!!!!"

The initial post should reflect the prices and best choices as it would make this thread more necessary.

You're in luck if you're in Canada and want the Circuit City journal as it's coming to Blockbusters Canada:
It seems that WalMart Canada will have the 1 disc with comic and coin also..
Later

Circuit City for the Joker slipcover if they have it for Blu. I got the Target Iron Man head the first time, and its cool for about 5 minutes...then you realize it doesnt fit on the shelf, it takes up a lot of room, fairly cheap looking, etc etc...not going to bother with the Batman head.
Ive got to agree on the Batpod...they still had rows upon rows of the V for Vendetta mask set, the Clerks Moobys Mean box, etc for over a year after the release, and practically giving them away at some point.

I dont need to get this as a holiday gift for anyone so I'm going to wait. With so many different versions, I have a feeling every store is going to have extra stock left over and I smell fire sales later on next year. I have no doubt there will be a buying frenzy for The Dark Knight this holiday season, but after a couple of months no one will be picking this up. (But me, hopefully, for a discounted price.)

I did not like the Iron Man mask at all. The Bat Pod case looks similar and the Bat Pod does nothing for me. If I wanted a Bat Pod, I would've already bought one.
