The $13.99 was a mistake.

Personally, I think it's the best exclusive of the bunch. Nice glossy hardcover and everything.
You can find more information on the original book here.

I bought the set with the playing cards at WM. In typical WM fashion, there were a ton of full screen deluxe sets but no visible widescreen. Asked a clerk if they had any in the back and she said no, but we did manage to find 2 locked in a display case. Why even bother with a full screen delux edition at all let alone stock it almost exclusively?

I was at my local Target (since Best Buy had no miniature Aston Martins left, believe it or not) to get the exclusive. Even the shelf price tag advertises a "Making Of" bonus DVD, but the set only includes the 2disc and the book itself. Guess it's an error. Also, looks like the book is a scaled down version of the one advertised on Amazon. I saw the actual book at Borders, and it is much much larger than the one included in the Target set. Same number of pages and content, but just scaled down to fit the packaging.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
I also got one for $13.99. Didn;t realize until I came into this thread that there was even a debate about the price.
The coin is cool. I thought it was going to be a small plastic piece of crap, but it's a real metal coin with a small pouch to keep it in. Kind of useless I guess, but still cool, considering it was free.

I know Wal-Mart prices vary by location, but for those of you who got the poker set at WM, how much more was it than just the DVD by itself? Trying to figure out if it's worth the $. Thanks.

DVD poker set was $19.84
So for $4.00 extra you get 2 decks of cards (one black one red) and a poker chip. Cool thing is the cards and chip are made by Cartamundi (the company that made them for the movie), so they are exact reproductions of the cards and chip used in the movie. Nice quality, especially the chip.

I picked up Best Buy's toy car, Target's book, and Wal-Mart's poker set, I would rank them: Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy. I don't have a Circuit City, so I can't comment on the coin.

DVD Talk Legend
I personally didn't care about any of the exclusives. I bought my copy @ BB and therefore received the toy car. It's nothing spectacular, but it was free and it looks nice hanging on my wall in the packaging. I'm more pissed about the fact that this disc screams double dip considering the shoddy menus, lack of "real" extras or any adherence to the style of prior 007 releases.

So, I guess I may have to check out the DVD of "The Holiday" (ugh) or "Rocky Balboa" (lesser ugh) to find this trailer (thanks noahtc). Is the trailer on anything better? Sony's line-up just doesn't seem to be up my alley for the most part.
