Best Buy is definately an extra disc.

I got the dvd set from Target and it didn't have the disk included. I'm going to take it back and find out why. It's supposed to be a separate disk, the Target exclusives weren't on any of the four disks that came with the set.

Thanks, to both of you.

I called Target and asked them about it and they are supposed to be finding out about it and calling me back.

you can kind of tell if the set has it without opening it. the bonus disc is packed to the left of the thinpacks (at least mine was), and since the slipcase is made of thinner stock, you can actually see/feel a bulge the bonus disc makes underneath the slipcase, since the cardboard sleeve the bonus disc comes in is shorter than the dvd cases. good luck!

I'm watching ROOTS now. Anyone else having a problem with these little...skips? Kinda? It's hard to describe, but throughout the show, the video and audio hit these little speedbumps where the audio drops out for a fraction of a second, and the video flickers. It only happens maybe twice per disc, but it's really noticeable.

i really can't decide if it is worth it to wait for one of those ultimate gift set with both roots and the next generation and more extras probably. this sux. wish they would release everything at once. maybe ill wait...or not...or maybe...crap!
