Now... here's something new: Retail sources are telling us to expect Lionsgate to release The Hunger Games on Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. on 8/18. Expect an official announcement soon. There will be multiple SKUs and editions, including discs only, discs plus bonus swag and Target and Walmart retail exclusive versions as well. Expect several retailers to hold "Twilight like midnight release party" events around the country. Sounds like they're going to make a pretty big deal out of this one.

Re: The Hunger Games - 8/18/12
The only thing that would get me to buy an exclusive would be some kind of different cut of the film, which is highly unlikely.
Typically, I would spend a little bit more for a better looking cover of a film I really wanted like this, but since I know that I'm going to be selling them/trading them or giving them away when the boxset comes out, I'll probably just look for the best price.

Showed up in my Gold Box picks for an extra 5% off so I bit. This was confusing, though:
FREE Two-Day Shipping --get it on its release day: Monday, August 20.

That'll work. Target's getting my money.
