Thanks! I don't do images often since I do almost all my posting from work, where most images and image sites are blocked. But I'm definitely referring people to/using your post/link.

This post will list all DVD exclusives and freebies found for the release week of 3/14/10 to 3/20/10.

New release price comparisons in their own weekly threads.

Thread "instructions" spoilered.
Spoiler:
This thread is for the posting and discussion of all DVD 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 trade 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.

A friend of mine asked Best Buy for the Mini Book and they replied him it's not free with Blu-ray Purchase

I'm sure it's YMMV, no matter what the ads or computers or signage say.

See my post immediately above yours.

It will likely never be 'confirmed', like many, many things regarding exclusives. Unless their computers are programmed to make it free with the BDs, it will be YMMV.

Why would they give him the book when the BD isn't released until Tuesday?

Why is the printed ad not "confirmation"? The wording says:

ONLY AT BEST BUY
The Princess And The Frog:
The Essential Guide book
FREE with purchase of
The Princess And The Frog
Blu-ray Combo Pack
or 1-disc Blu-ray. 4

4 Minimum 8 per store. No rainchecks.

He asked if they are going to give a book when the disc will be released

Did anyone else have problems with the Lord of the Rings BluRay Steelbook Preorder last week?
My store had a sign up that said they didn't get any in or something.

Well of course that is confirmation. Didn't know about it when I posted obviously, and the ads are usually more ambiguous. So the question now is whether it is free with any other version besides the BDs.

Sorry, Trevor. I guess my response was more in reference to your previous comment about it not mattering what the ads say. I would certainly argue that it's pretty specific that you get the book with the BD (assuming they still have stock, of course).

Let's not forget Best Buy's 3-month exclusivity on selling the Vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, OldBoy, Lady Vengeance - both DVD & blu-ray versions) and in a tin, which is also exclusive to BB.

No need to apologize, I was a bit snippy, sorry. I guess I just never take anything for granted at these retail places. What the ads say can be different from what the employees say which is different from what the end cap/aisle placards say which can be different from what the computers say. So I just prefer to think of everything as very YMMV. I always get my way, a mixture of confidence, insistence, and politeness always works in my experience; but I never know what they will try to do when it comes to these promotions and what everyone else will encounter.

I just found out that FYE will have an exclusive packaging for their release of "New Moon". All I know right now is it will be a Limited Edition Ultimate DVD Keepsake case. I may hope to have more info tomorrow after I go there. From what I saw it looks to be a special case that the DVD slips into and 6 picture cards. I'm figuring it is available for standard and Blu-ray. Will update.

Is that similar to Walmart Exclusive, right?

I've seen discussions around the internets about the Vengeance Trilogy Best Buy Exclusive. No pics or verification, though. Has anyone seen this?
