Apparently not.

Who the fuck cares if they changed the title?

Hitting Target tomorrow AM. Hopefully these things aren't in short supply like some of WB's recent steelbook exclusives. Can't wait to revisit it.

Ultimately, I don't care which title they decide to officially roll with, really, but I do find the topic of ninja-rebranding a film (and WB's decision to do it with this one) interesting.

I picked up the Target steelbook. It rings up $27.99 so make sure to get a price adjustment.

Showed up around opening time this morning at my local Target, and there were about a dozen exclusives for Edge of Tomorrow after adding up the copies available at the front and the back of the store. It rang up at $27.99, though, so you'll need to have it adjusted (and it wouldn't hurt to have the weekly ad handy).

It's interesting that the full "Live. Die. Repeat. / Edge of Tomorrow" is printed on both discs. At least the steelbook has the normal presentation of the title on the cover and spine.

It is interesting. But the going on about how the title was, or was not changed, would not have been missed.

That's what I'm waiting to hear on. Most likely extra content on the disc itself.

Was hoping Target would have a 3D Steelbook, but didn't see any.

No, it's just a 2D BR Combo pack.

It violates my price rules for buying new releases especially within 8 weeks of Black Friday (and for buying 3D BR versions whenever possible and not absurdly more expensive), but I went ahead and bought a Target Steelbook because I hated the regular cover so much. Got them to price match the regular Amazon version for $19.99. Good enough for me, I guess.

Has Best Buy ever had an exclusive version with extra content on the disc itself? I know Jack Reacher had a bonus featurette on Cinema Now.

I showed my girlfriend the movies I picked up today and she said "Hmmm Live Die Repeat looks good." Marketing!

Per the ads, the extra Best Buy content is only available on the 2D release. Has that been confirmed in store?

Did you yell at her and show her the press release to prove that isn't the actual name?

Yep, the content is on the disc. Although it doesn't sound like anything special

Spoiler:


I might have to bite on the steelbook as well, it looks real nice

I said it was Edge of Tomorrow and she said "Oh, oops! I did want to see that"

I want the 3D version, but I also really want that steelbook.

I'm tempted to buy both, stick just the 3D & 2D Blus in the steel book, slap the other discs in the regular case and give it to my dad as a gift.

I think this was mentioned earlier, but LEON is the international (longer) version of the movie, and THE PROFESSIONAL is the shorter US theatrical cut.

It was never called The Professional in Europe, it was released as Leon.

Picked up the the steelbook of Live. Die. Rinse. Repeat. at Target. None of the stores in my area got the steelbook except for one. Very odd. Apparently a shipment never arrived.

Uh oh, Comcast on Demand is going to be in trouble for calling it "Edge of Tomorrow."
