The Best Buy Bonus Disc promotions?

Best Buy has issues several bonus disc promotions for movies like Master and Commander, Day After Tomorrow, Punisher, and Paycheck to name a few.

Do they have major deals with the movie studios since you don't see Circuit City or Target offering bonus discs?




Not that I want to see other stores offer the same promotion.

Other stores do offer similar promotions, though Best Buy definitely seems to do it the most. Wal-Mart had an exclusive third disc with the recent "Anniversary Edition" of Field of Dreams. I know Circuit City had a bonus disc with Die Another Day a while back. I am not sure of all of them, but retailers other than Best Buy have had promotional bonus discs...though Best Buy seems to have the most....

Really? I got the Bond Girls Are Forever documentary bonus disc at Best Buy, but I was never aware that Circuit City had some kind of extra disc as well.

Borders/Waldenbooks had an exclusive deal with Viz for a special 3-d lenticular cover of the first Inu Yasha movie, and they also had an exclusive box with figure for vol. 19 of the Inu Yasha manga.

"Shaken and Stirred on Ice" was available only at Circuit City with the purchase of Die Another Day. Also, here is a thread where these bonus discs have been listed and discussed: Best Buy Exclusive and Free DVD List
The list is not limited to Best Buy as the title implies...

They aren't even worth it!

I got the Bonus Disc for Day After Tomorrow and there wasn't anything interesting to watch but trailers.

You are right - normally they are not. However, the new Ultimate Jordan set comes with a bonus disc at Best Buy - the complete 1988 Slam Dunk Competition. Oh yes. A must own for me. But more often than not, they are just fluff at best...
