Thanks, Eric D!
I guess buying Stealth at Best Buy was the poorer choice. At the time I thought the bonus disc was the same as Circuit City which is further away and may be out of their bonus discs by now. Considering Best Buy didn't let me have the Madagascar lithograph because I pricematched, I'll probably end up returning both Stealth and Madagascar and getting them online at DDD for a little less. 20 minutes of bonus material is hardly worth bothering.

Shagrath, your comments are right except we pay closer to $1 each for a rental. Before renting I do read DVD reviews and try to get a general idea of comments on IMDB to see if I think I'd like the movie. That way I weed out most new releases and get it down to a couple possibilities per week, but even people's comments are no guarantee of anything.
Unfortunately I don't see any better strategy. Blind buying at $15 and then if I don't like the movie turning around and selling it for $5 (or hassling with eBay to get a few extra dollars) seems riskier.

I'll save you the dollar of renting and say that Stealth was a pretty crappy movie.
I'll, of course, be buying two copies, one at BB and one at CC.

I just got Stealth from Best Buy today with the bonus disc, and on the way home stopped off my Circuit City to check out the Stealth Disc there.
Its in a seperate package labeled for $0.01 so i put the movie down picked up a 50 Cent movie preview disc aswell and tried to pay for them.
I cashier said i needed to buy the movie stealth to get it and i just stood there acting stupid, she looked at me scanned the 2 discs and just rang me up.
TOTAL $0.01
BEST DEAL IVE EVER GOTTEN
ps: i paid with a nickel and got 4 pennies back. Wierd feeling paying for DVD's with a nickel

Not a bonus disc, per se, but I just saw on BestBuy.com that BB is going to have a free clip-on clock with purchase of 24 season 4.
Take a look

Any news on what's on the War of the Worlds Wal-Mart disc? I'd be willing to buy the LE and wal-mart 1 disc and give the extra movie disc to someone else if there's anything new since I LOVED WOTW.

War of the Worlds Bonus Disc comes with ONLY Full Frame and includes a Pre-Visulation feature(from the 2-disc) and HBO First Look. There you have it it's packaged with only the full frame and is in it's own case title :War of the Worlds Bonus DVD.

Edit: So on the issue of the War of the Worlds Walmart bonus disc, I already have the 2 disc limited edition. Is there anythig on the Walmart bonus disc that is not on the limited edition set?

Oh, and I've since discovered some things about the Best Buy POLAR EXPRESS bonus DVD--apparently it's only available with the single-disc editions and has a featurette (or featurettes) regarding the film's use of motion capture--now whether this is exclusive footage or just some of the stuff found on the 2-disc set, I have no idea...

I didn't get that Polar Express bonus (went with the 2-disc set), but that thing is tiny. I don't know how you'd play it if not using a portable DVD player.

DVD Fan Boy.com has a pretty extensive/detailed listing of every exclusive/bonus discs. It's a part of The Digital Bits.

For Seinfeld seasons 5 and 6, there are bonus DVDs for each at Wal-Mart, and a bonus separate exclusive CD at BB.
The packaging at BB indicates an exclusive CD, but I am fairly sure that it is the separately packaged CD, and not something inside the season sets.

ok Trevor...we need updates...or this thread will turn out like the old thread
Wal Mart Gets a bonus disc for the island this coming week. Musicland (Suncoast, Sam Goody) have exclusive packaging for Sin City Recut.
Has to be some more out there after all the war of the worlds and fantastic four bonus disc. It may also be a good idea to link all the discussion on certain bonus disc that have been popping up.

I have a huge pile of dozens of bags from the past 4 weeks, each with bonus discs from WM, BB, CC, or Target.
One day when I am actually home I'll post them all.
And yes, we should either link those other discussions or immediately steer them here.
Forgive me for my laziness lately, but I will update it soon, and keep it updated.
