I went for the Target one as I liked the lenticular cover. I thought about getting the BB one but I didn't like the movie enought to shell out $36...

I finally watched this yesterday. It was perfect movie for a gray,rainy afternoon. I really enjoyed the movie. As some one posted earlier in the thread, it should serve as a warning to everyone.
In terms of the DVD itself, I thought it was well done. I did end up bumping up the center channel volume a bit to catch all of V's dialogue through the mask. I thought the colors were good and overall good choices for the tone of this movie. It was a netflix rental so only had one disc version and only extra was the making of feature. At some point I will likely buy it, although hopefully can wait until released on HD-DVD (assuming it does get released, and assuming I buy an HD-DVD player )

Interesting. It's too bad their still all the same cuts on all of those releases.

What is too bad is that the HD-DVD (and likely a BD version) is coming soon, so there will be more money to spend.

These were all the places I was able to find online, and every so often on Ebay too. I just bought from a local dealer because they keep pushing the release date back, and I figured that I would like to have a person as a point of contact in the event they do it again.

heya fellow v4v freaks!
i have a request for assistance. i received my v4v bestbuy exclusive set last week (seriously) after ordering it online the first day it was available. needless to say, box was crushed, both top and bottom were open, and so on. what to do? i returned it.
so im still awaiting my own copy - i have a exchange post looking to buy it also here .
if im not able to get one on the exchange, does anyone know of any bestbuys that still have them in-store locally in southern california?
my last resort will be greedebay, but im hesitant because of shipping issues again.
thanks all!

Just caught this flick from Netflix a couple of days ago. Absolutely loved it, moreso than I thought I would. I would've gotten the Target lenticular cover, but I figured it would have sold out a few weeks ago. Lo and behold, I said what the heck, stopped by Target on the way home today in Virginia and they had ONE copy left! Woohoo!
