Pricing on the dvd sets leaves alot to be desired. Does it seem like the pricing on teh dvd sets is higher than in the past?
I will get Supernatural and Heroes when I can find them for cheap, but the bonus disc is tempting.

I went to Target ready to buy season four of Supernatural on blu-ray and get the bonus disc, only to find out that the bonus disc was DVD-only. I had no other choice but to opt for the BB lenticular packaging which is actually pretty neat.

My target had the BD of Heroes (and some other TV releases) un-clamped (no spiders or plastic or anything)
The dude at my Target had no idea about the bonus disc. I was there when it opened... all they had was regular releases.
It's a shame... seasons 1 and 2 had such great Target exclusives.

At the store I went to there were only 2 copies of the Heroes exclusive version (stickered as Target exclusive) and I went there early in the morning where no one else really buys collectibles there. I guess they did not have a lot distributed to each store perhaps?
Anyone watch the bonus disc? Is it worth it? Disappointed that Target didn't do a special packing like they did for previous exclusive Heroes S1 & S2 releases.

I went for the lenticular packaging at Best Buy for Supernatural after finding out that the Blu-ray version at target does NOT have the bonus disc. I checked with two stores before finding an employee who confirmed it for me.
I'm expecting an email back from Target soon. Their printed ad could be read either way as far as the Blu-ray, but if you open the ad on their website and click on the Blu-ray set, it specifically says:
Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season* Blu-ray Disc
Only at Target!
$49.99
Stores Only
This item is available in stores, but is not available online.
Includes bonus DVD with 45-minute panel discussion at Comic Con and more.
Tune in Tuesday. In stores September 1. Release date subject to change. *Quantities limited; no rain checks.

Target had S1 Bonus disc.
No one had S2 Bonus disc.
I am just curious as to why they stopped. Especially since the other (ABC) shows all have bonus discs.

I'm gonna wait to buy it until there is a sale. Since there is no exclusive..

San Bernardino, CA
GOT IT!
A thought popped in my head and I looked an old receipt and gave a call. I wanted to know when they get new shipments. Instead the clerk told me they 'now' have three copies, "Heroes" S3 with store exclusive.
I rushed over and there they were in those plastic security boxes. Odd. Bought it and while walking away I saw that they a couple of those Centennial Collection sets, "Breakfast At Tifanny's" and "Funny Face". Asked, they're $7.50 each. Bought those as well. Then it got better.
I was given a voucher as part of my receipt for one dollar off anything over a dollar from their cafe. Picked up an Icee (cherry mixed with blueberry) for $0.34. Awesome! It's fraken hot here.
Back on topic. Didn't hit me until I was home. Sets? I only saw three (now two) boxes for "Heroes" S3. When I was there yesterday there were lots of them. All gone? Did the same thing happen like the Redlands, CA store. My quest to find the exclusive took me there. None of the sets had the "exclusive" sticker on it. The clerk was trying to convince me that ALL the copies had them inside. I left empty handed. I wonder...
