While it would be interesting to watch the whole thing, it's probably one of those things that sounds better than it actually is.

Mmmm...you reminded me of the old NPR radio broadcasts from the early 80's. Those were pretty good.

If they had extended it to say, 15-20 minutes, then I think more would feel better about it. There is probably at least that much content in there where either the read was especially entertaining, or it became another deleted/alternate scene collection because the script evolved over time.

Will the standard release be $19.99 at most stores except Best Buy where it is $24.99?

I bet Best Buy drops to 19.99 but not until release day. They don't automatically adjust pre-order prices and they are probably banking on most people not bothering with it if they pre-ordered through them.

I will wait until Tuesday and just pick it up locally somewhere for 19.99.

Glad that the standard edition is using the theatrical poster art. Already have my copy pre-ordered from Amazon and looking forward to watching the film again!

Get ready to take it in the @ss from Best Buy if you want that steelbook next week. $27.99 for that version or $19.99 for the regular version per their ad for next week.

I also mentioned it in the Hateful Eight thread, but Best Buy is getting ridiculous on their steelbook pricing. $25 for Hunger Games & Hateful Eight and $28 for Star Wars. 10 Cloverfield Lane and Deadpool are currently listed for $29.99. How did we go from $19.99 Marvel 3D steelbooks to this??

I canceled my steelbook order and ordered the regular version from Amazon. I liked the artwork better and since there's no additional content at BB, no reason to get it from there.

Looks like that is accurate if the Blu-Ray.com review is correct (and why wouldn't it be?), I guess because it's the scene most people would want to see since it features Han and Chewie.

Sigh.

Of course they will not give a refund for the difference if you buy it today for $24.99 when it drops to $19.99 next week

Best Buy's advertisement for next week also mentions there is a bonus disc as well.

Ugh.. What a load of shit. There's a second extra features disc so why couldn't have it just have been included there?

On the video I posted on the previous page, you can hear Hamill say "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away." That's about all we get so far, but hopefully those 4 min are substantive.

Just a reminder, you can also use DMR points in exchange for a $5 coupon.

Here is what Taget now has on their site.

Please note: Bonus content is high-definition digital format. Your Target Exclusive packaging will have a code inside with instructions on how to redeem the Target Exclusive bonus content on Disney Movies Anywhere (DMA). If you don't have a DMA account, you will be asked to create an account (free of charge).

Are you posting about this?

It's not clear if that is a coupon that can be used at Best Buy or only within Disney's system.

No, there is a Bonus disc with the set, not an additional Best Buy Exclusive Bonus disc.

That would make more sense since BB has the steelbook.

Yeah, should be a normal coupon you can print out unless they changed something recently. I believe it expires at the end of the year, but could be wrong about that.

I must have misunderstood the post I quoted. This is good news so as to not buy many copies chasing a bunch of bonus features.

I'm surprised that my local record store is staying open past midnight when this releases. I'm still not gonna buy it til the 3D edition comes out.
