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.

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.

Free Button Pack
with Watchmen pre-order

It's the perfect complement to the mind-blowing graphic-novel-turned-big-screen-hit: a set of six Watchmen character buttons.

And now this Best Buy® exclusive gift can be yours free when you pre-order any version of Watchmen.

Grab yours today!

I can't seem to find this deal on the Best Buy web site. Is there a direct link to it? Or is it in store only?

I don't know what happened, it was with pre-orders for all versions of the film.

Here is a BestBuy link for the Buttons by themselves, they are $4.99:

just in case anyone did not already know and was interested in the watchmen buttons, there was an "endcap" in the dvd section of my local bestbuy that had a bunch of button packs dangling. just take one up to a register to reserve a dvd or br edition for $5.

it does not appear they will reserve a copy for you like an in-store pickup. and the reservation does not allow you to reserve either exclusive mask as well.

Comic-Con will have exclusive packaging for Dollhouse with a letter from Joss Whedon. It's limited to 5000 copies and is available for pre-order.

Target's ad indicated exclusive lenticular package for Watchmen: Director's Cut DVD; will check it out and confirm tomorrow

Re: All DVD exclusives and freebies - 5/31/09 and ongoing
 
Lenticular cover is actually at all retailers.

Other than the 2 head-shaped packages at Best Buy and watch at FYE, I found no other "Watchmen" exclusives anywhere. I checked Target, Blockbuster, Costco, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Barnes & Noble and Toys "R" Us.

Did anybody check Borders? There are none nearby anymore and the phone rep seemed rather clueless when I called to ask.

Best Buy also has the new 300 "complete experience" blu-ray book w/exclusive 300 #1 comic book attached. It's the same comic that was packed "exclusive" with the standard edition boxset that was released late last year.

free tote-bag with pre-order for coraline at twec stores. similar to the tote bag for twilight (black).

and

it may not seem so, but imho it actually is a bit silly... twec has a free license plate frame (as in a real, full-sized license plate holder for an automobile) for pre-order of fast and furious next week. they hand it out at time of pre-order. and just in case, it is not on-pack.

License plate may be well worth owning, except Best Buy offers a bonus disc content too. Decisions decisions...


Verified @ Target:

Lenticular Watchmen slipcover is available everywhere.

Hi Trevor, did you put the Target Coraline exclusive in the wrong area under Sams/Walmart or is there another exclusive out there that I will have to find now ;D

Thanks for all the work!
