Has anyone confirmed that the Target bonus disc comes with the 3D version?

so wait, if you want the 'extended action version' you have to go to best buy

Yes, it's a Best Buy exclusive.

And if you want the commentary, you have to get a regular version of the Blu-Ray? The commentary wasn't at least put on the DVD in the 2 pack?

No, Paramount puts stripped down DVD in the combo packs. They just include the movie.

Don't fret over the commentary on the theatrical cut. It's terrible. It's basically just Chu and di Bonaventura watching the movie and describing where scenes were shot while they struggle to remember anecdotes about anything that might have happened on set. It's one of those classic "We had a lot of fun making this. So-and-so is such a great person to work with..." worthless commentaries.

There's no talk about the movie's creative development. No mention of the last-minute release delay from 2012 to 2013, the rewrites and reshoots, or the 3D conversion. Chu doesn't even get to talk about why he likes the G.I. Joe franchise or the point out the references to the original comic book that he put in the movie.

The commentary is tedious, and you're not missing anything without it.

When you get a chance, can you tell us what the exclusive featurettes are and how long they run? Thanks.

i didn't find the Metal Pak case at Walmart. which is just as well because i only was mildly amused with the movie and i got the BB exclusive action cut already.

Or you can order it here.

But based on a post earlier in this thread, it seems the extended cut is just the rough cut of the movie, prior to one minor pickup and the 3D conversion, and doesn't amount to much. I'd wait 'til it's $10 or less.

Watched the extended cut last night. It was worth it for the Snake Eyes Jinx fight alone. The downtime at the bar with the Joes was good as well. The extra shots/recut of Cobra Commander arriving at the Fort was better than the theatrical.

As far as the deleted scenes, I wish the scene where Zartan receives a call from 'Rex' was left in, as well as the Snake Eyes (Storm Shadow) assassination.

Steelbook as $30 at my walmart.

Extended Cut at BB was minus trade and save and a RZ $5 code for $10 was good enough for me.

Is the Extended Edition at Best Buy some sort of limited thing until they run out? Or do they just offer that instead of the regular edition?

They have both versions at Best Buy.

Doubt it'll be limited, or not like their "Nut Up or Shut Up" Edition of Zombieland.

For anyone curious about the differences in cuts, the differences are shown here:

They have 3D editions with the bonus disc on pack - it's a 4-disc set for $27.99. However, you have to look at the back of the package to verify, as the front is the exact same as the regular Blu Ray set as far as I could tell - the listing on front says nothing about 3D. I was having trouble finding the regular Blu set as I could only find the 3D one, but found a stray copy up front on display.

I can't believe I missed that the extended cut is only at Best Buy. I would've rather had that than the extra Target disc. I guess I will wait for a price drop at BB and double dip. Argh.

I would like the steelbook but its not worth $30 to me. Hoping it is discounted in a few weeks.

Thanks.... when I went, I never thought to look at the back of the pack so I basically passed on the Target Exclusive Bonus disc... I also basically talked myself out of the Best Buy version (even after U&S) cause I really wanted the 3D set and didn't want to double/triple dip on the 2D theatrical.. so basically I got nothing yet..

If anyone wants my code for free personalized dog tags have at it:

GONE (you're welcome!)

Thank you!

Tempted and like the artwork but then did not like the first movie and don't want to have a Channing Tatum movie in my collection.

The Rock is the star of the sequel. Tatum's part is very small.

I still went and grabbed a copy of a regular BR disc with commentary to put in my set with the BB exclusive which came in the mail. Too much of a fan of commentary.

But stuff like that is still really annoying overall.

Thanks again. I made sure to catch the Target 3D exclusive before they were gone to get 3D and the 2D with all the special features and the Bonus Disc.... now I will wait and hope the Best Buy Extended Action Cut (which btw contains the theatrical as well but no commentary) drops in price to where with an U&S or some other sale it is cheap enough to care about the extra 12 minutes of inserted footage.. the collector in me wants it... but not at another $15....

how about for $10 ?
