Comic-con is not overpriced with its DVD giftset. Its only the demand that caused it to soar in auction sites. In actual, Comic Con's 300 giftset is basically near the same price as the Bestbuy giftset's MSRP.

Anyone know more? Could it be an HD bonus disc, or exclusive content on the 300 HD?

I think its across all HD releases (not foubd on Blu Rays)

Maybe I missed it somewhere in here, but is the Target exclusive (with the exception of the different packaging) the same as the others? Is the only exclusive thing the download of the movie, with all the other features being the same as the second disc available everywhere else?

For what it is, I thought it was too expensive.

I think I paid around $25 for the V for Vendetta set with mask and felt it was a little overpriced (about $10 over the normal set) for such a small item -- them charging $50 for this just seemed outrageous to me (and I'm a sucker for these things!)

On its behalf though, it is numbered (1-4000) and an exclusive mask (I thought it was the same one as being sold in stores, just with a Comic Con sticker and number) - I actually prefer the in-store mask though. Apparently those are the $65 ones though.

If it were a full-sized mask, I'd be all over it. I ended up putting my "V" mask on a little toy figure it was so small. The way I see it, you're paying about $30 for a mask that you can't do a whole lot with.

Probably. But we'll find out for sure tomorrow.

^ Someone said the banner at the top of it says "Deluxe Edition" while the non-Target versions call it a "Special Edition". So there is a chance there is special content here other than a pointless download of the film itself.

The ad states "over 90 minutes of thrilling extras on a bonus disc". Do you think they're referring to the second disc in the set or an additional third disc of content?

ds6161 07-30-07 11:10 AM

IN other treads they are saying there is NO 3rd disc...
the "over 90 minutes of thrilling extras on a bonus disc" is refering to the normal 2nd disc..

my question is.. it comes with "exclusive Making of 300 download"...??
what is that.. there already is "Making of 300" on the 2nd disc.. no one seams to know yet..

I'm debating on going to Target at 8am.. ^%$# thats early!!!

Trevor 07-30-07 11:22 AM

I'll predict that it will be the exact same 2 discer as everywhere else; except the slipcase will be slightly different, and an insert inside will have a code/website for the 2 downloads.

Living Dead 07-30-07 11:47 AM

^ That would be my guess as well.

You are absolutely correct sir!

ds6161 07-30-07 12:01 PM

but, the ?? is are the 2 downloads already on the disc's?? the movie & making of
if so the Target deluxe is only worth buying if you have a portable device that plays movies..
I don't want to waste my time & gas if that is so...

they are not on the discs. the target edition gives you a website and codes to download it to a PC for free.

ds6161 07-30-07 12:11 PM

you mean the movie is not on the disc 1??
gotcha..
is the 2nd download the exact same "making of 300" that is on disc 2??

that i do not know and i don't think anyone will know till tomorrow. i would guess and this is just a big guess, but it might be an exclusive making of with perhaps a few snippets not on the regular making of.

ds6161 07-30-07 12:31 PM

well I guess its an early run to Target at 8am...
I wont be opening it till I know there is extra stuff.. I can return it later if not...

after typing that I think I might just skip it totaly ... if it does not have anything extra I'm wasting gas for 2 trips... I don't nomaly shop at Target cause its at least twice as far..

Wildo1966, this is really unnecessary. Please try to be a little less insulting toward other members.

Trevor 07-30-07 12:43 PM

I hear you about hating to make special trips just to check on these exclusives.

Luckily for me, I have about 15 different big 4 locations (BB,CC,WM,Target) within like 20 miles of me, including a couple places where all 4 are within a mile of each other.

ds6161 07-30-07 12:48 PM

I don't mind going if I know what is there.. this is the 1st time in a lone time we don't know!!! BAD Target..

No. It is just like any other DVD set, the movie is one disc 1 and the special features are on disc 2. And in addition, this Target exclusive will have downloadable content (the entire movie and a making of). The discs are the same everywhere, Target will just give you access to a website for the bonuses.

Target has a bad track record with exclusive bonuses, they have made several mistakes with mislabeling or even not having what is advertised at all.

Not just one store not having it, I mean all Targets not having them, the advertised bonus was never produced/manufactured.
