my bb is supposed to open at 12. if so and they are giving stuff away i'll wear my last years halloween costume (batman).

NiCK Crush 12-07-08 10:12 PM

xage informed me that Best Buy will be giving a limited number of t-shirts away at the door. i also heard that there will be a few prizes involved.

SethDLH 12-07-08 10:15 PM

I'll be heading over to my local FYE early Tuesday to pick up the steelbook. I didn't reserve a copy but I'm not too worried as there are still Steels of Iron Man and Indy 4 in there.

Patman 12-07-08 10:39 PM

Will they allow us to buy one of each of the Joker and Batman figures at Best Buy, or will they make us choose between the 2 figures?

ScissorPuppy 12-07-08 11:39 PM

For those that are interested, Toys R Us has an exclusive "Bat Signal" flashlight with purchase of the dvd, and possibly the blu-ray. They are also running the buy 3 get the 4th free promo this week, that also includes blu-ray.

I'm really torn between these two exclusives....
Target always claims to have additional bonus features but it's true sometime....
Maybe with some miracle their bat mask has the 2 exclusives from the blu-ray....
Or something else,that would be nice....
The FYE steelbook is possible too but I'm not a fan of the cover....
But it does have the rebate plus I already have the $3 off papa john's coupon....

For the Target Batman mask, you better check it out yourself first before you make the decision. Last time I bought the Hulk exclusive wall breaking case, it was so lame. You can also check out this site to see if someone bought it ans post pictures of how the case looks like. I think the CC Joker cover is better. You can even order it online in CC now. Better get there early to pick up one.

I have decided and will pick up the Batman Mask from Target Blu-ray edition.

The other covers are nice, and I would really love to get all the exclusives with this release, but obviously can't

ddschneider1972 12-08-08 11:23 AM

First off, is the Papa John $3 coupon good for Blu-Ray? The coupon just says "this side for widescreen, this side for full frame"

I'm just getting the cheapest BD version. Wow a free poster or Joker card? Not worth driving to BB for IMHO...If the bonus exclusive crap was sold separately I'd never buy it. They suckered me in before for things like $5 worth of Begins bonus junk...(probably coming soon to ebay)
The Indiana Jones Crystal Skull Target Blu-Ray Exclusive making of book was nice, the BB Crystal Statue was worth it (to me), the old Matrix set with the Neo bust and cool case was a nice set. The recent Masters of horror season set in a skull is a cool idea. They know TDK will sell no matter what so they didn't put much thought into the bonus items IMHO...I almost bit on the batpod display but for $25, I'll pass. The Walmart Harvey coin is cool, but from what I read, not with Blu-ray???

I asked a Best Buy employee about a couple weeks ago, and he said they were just giving those pre-order posters away to people who show up. But things could have changed since then.
I think the flier said there'd also be prizes, but I don't know what those may be.

You could also go to the FYE website, I believe it's just that familiar picture of Batman on the batpod.

Marvin Dorfler 12-08-08 01:45 PM

No STEELBOOK BLU-RAY @ FYE or SATURDAY MATINEE in the US; just Standard DVD. Buzz kill...

pholly 12-08-08 02:18 PM

Got mine off CH, buy one get one. So I got DK and Tropic Thunder for $30 :D

Forgot to mention, they are Blu-Ray.

junglalien 12-08-08 03:05 PM

It would be $66.47 USD shipped.

if they used the single disc artwork for the FYE steelbook I would have considered buying the steelbook version but I don't like the batman on the batpod artwork and I don't want to pay extra for that artwork.

DirkBelig 12-08-08 04:47 PM

Looks like Amazon isn't shipping until Tues. meaning I won't be getting it until Thursday. Gee, thanks guys! Save a couple of bucks and get ganked. Lame.

The Valeyard 12-08-08 05:15 PM

I'm hitting Target first thing in the morning for that Blu-Ray Bat Mask.

I had thought about that as well, as I also don't like the Batpod artwork, but I still think Steelbooks are nice and neat to have -- normal DVD packaging, whether it's the soft paper or plastic cases just get beat up too easily, and I take good care of my DVDs.

The Target case looks interesting, but also looks flimsy -- I think the interior could have been designed better.

I thought of doing the same thing, just showing up to buy one, but I thought it would suck to come in, expecting one and them being sold out.
I also wish they had used a better image for the front of it, but still, I like steelbook cases, and so I pre-ordered it.

BrandonJF 12-08-08 05:36 PM

I just can't get into the Target mask packaging. That just does not look cool to me. I got the Iron Man mask from there and regretted it...

I've already got the "normal" Blu-Ray from the WB Store and am torn on whether or not to bother getting a steelbook...

That German CD looks better than the US Blu-Ray CE Batpod...

I must be getting numb to this stuff. My favorite movie and I may not be getting any LE content with this release....

mykalroze 12-08-08 05:43 PM

Does anyone know if there will still be slipcovers for the standard and 2-disc DVD editions?
Every store site I go to only show either the Batpod image or Batman in front of the burning builiding picture as the cover. I recall seeing pictures at, I think, this site showing a slipcover with a Joker image inside, or vice versa.
