Thread "instructions" spoilered.
Spoiler:
These weekly threads are for price comparisons of all the big new releases, and the posting and discussion of that particular week's store exclusives and freebies.

These lists will likely be incomplete until Wednesday or so, since DVDs are released on Tuesday and one of us needs to visit all the stores to confirm things.

Links to the master list and to the previous and next week's thread are below.

Volunteers needed: I regularly go to Best Buy and Target; but don't visit the other stores every week. If you work at or regularly go to the Wal-Mart, FYE/TWEC chains, Costco, Borders, K-mart/Sears, Barnes and Noble, Blockbuster, Toys-R-Us, or any other store that has DVD exclusives; we'd appreciate any updates you could give us. I am slowly "retiring" from my weekly chain crawls, and will need your help to keep these threads useful.

All Stores - Thread for all movie cash and free ticket deals

Best Buy -
free poster with select Pixar DVDs, these on sale for $12.99 - Cars, Wall-E, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo
$7.50 movie cash with the following DVDs on sale for $6.99 - The Matrix, Terminator 3, I Am Legend, V for Vendetta
free UFC DVD and $10 gift card with purchase of UFC Undisputed video game for 360 or PS3
$7.50 movie cash to Star Trek, G.I. Joe, or Transformers 2 with purchase of these select DVDs - Cloverfield, Ghost Town, Tropic Thunder, Next, Braveheart
True Blood Season One - t-shirt

Walmart has this as an exclusive, but don't know what's so exclusive about it: WWE: Wrestlemania XXV (Exclusive) (Full Frame)

That is nice, but like $24 with shipping. Anyone know any coupons codes or shopping portals for that?

I'm going to hold off on that exclusive. While I often can't resist comic-based exclusives, that DVD will be $5 soon enough, and I can't justify $20 for a comic I'll read once.

$24.96 - Wrestlemania 25 3 Disc Version.
$29.96 - Wrestlemania 25 3 Disc Version and a mini-version of the WWE Encyclopedia that recently came out.

So the exclusive is that you can get the mini-version of the WWE Encyclopedia for $5 more - no sale here -
I'll be getting the steelbook from FYE - I think it will be priced at $24.99 with a $7 mail-in-rebate.

Update #1: Someone posted in the Wrestling DVD thread that the steelbook version cost $27.99 at his FYE
with a $7 mail-in-rebate. Guess its the non steelbook version that costs $24.99 with a $7 mail-in-rebate.)

Update #2: Now someone posted in the Wrestling DVD thread that there is no rebate for the steelbook version -
cost is $27.99 - the $7 mail-in-rebate is only for the non steelbook version which its $24.99 before MIR.

Update #3: The exclusive is not a mini-version of the WWE Encyclopedia but just a mini 64 page book about
the history of Wrestlemania.

LB...

In case anybody is interested, this comic has actually been released already, albeit in a somewhat limited fashion. It was given away during the "Fanboys" sneak peek event at Star Wars Celebration IV in 2007. At least that's how I got mine, though there may have been other opportunities to acquire one. It's actually a mini-comic, about the size of a DVD insert, and will likely fit nicely inside the case.

Uh... I don't know if this actually helps anybody... but it does mean that I thankfully I won't need to buy this overpriced item from StarWars.com.

Checked Blockbuster, Costco and Toys R Us yet saw nothing... er, I say this with my usual qualifying statement about not always spotting things that are not on my radar...
