Did you guys know WB announced that there will be a Watchmen: Ultimate Collectors Edition coming out on December?

Since there has been talk of price matching Watchmen at Best Buy in this thread, I figured I'd share my experience this morning.
Wal-Mart has the 2-disc listed online as $14.86 at the moment, so I went to Best Buy, grabbed the 2-disc and Tales of the Black Freighter and went to customer service and asked them to check and match the online price of Wal-Mart. It took her a little while, but when she found it she honored Wal-Mart's price and rang Black Freighter in as $5.
$19.86 for the 2-disc Director's Cut + Black Freighter.
Easiest price match I've done at Best Buy, as I've run into a few uncooperative BB employees in the past. I'd still chalk this up as a YMMV situation, but I still hope it helps some of you out.

^Did you take a print out of WM's price? Or did you just tell them the price and they looked online themselves? Thanks

Update: Pricematch successful. I made the same purchase as you, Watchmen and Tales. I took a print out (from WM's website) in with me to make it go as smooth as possible. I was able to spend a little less, as I had $10 in gift cards. Thanks!

Anyone pick-up the 300 Blu-ray re-issue with the BB exclusive comic? Is it the complete graphic novel or just one issue of the mini-series?
Update: Found out that it's NOT the complete graphic novel.

I was just at Target today and they are selling both The animated Watchman DVD and Black Freighter for 5 bucks a piece, no need to buy anything else. I'm not interested in purchasing this particular edition of The Watchmen, since I am waiting for the Ultimate Edition to come out in December, but for 5 bucks I was willing to buy each of the DVDs, just in case the Ultimate edition doesn't include some of the extras.
