I wonder why the Best Buy steelbook has 3 disks. DVDs maybe?

No, that's just the blu, blu of special features, and DVD.

Regardless of which distributor ultimately puts them out, I'm pretty sure that someone from Lucasfilm designs, or at least must give approval for, the artwork on any video editions of its movies.

So no Maz deleted scene?

The X-wings and snow speeder deleted scenes seem interesting. Still not sure if will get digital or BD. If iTunes copy is only 720p and not 1080p, I might wait for the BD.

Perhaps they are considering another theatrical run in IMAX theaters or something of the sort.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Checked agian, iTunes now says 1080p. Great.

Does the iTunes copy have the deleted scenes included, though?

Given the inconsistency in Target's descriptions on this exclusive release I would give it time before I called it for sure either way. It's possible the exclusive version will also be part of the gift card offer in the coming weeks. Their history on this kind of stuff has been a mess as of late.

One thing I hate with all these different editions is not having consistent packaging. I'd like to get the Target edition for the bonus content but would prefer just a standard case.

I have the older book version of the saga set (1-6) so as long as this is the same height as that, I'll be fine with the Target version.

I just wonder if Eps 8 and 9, not to mention Rogue One will get similar packaging?

I have the Target exclusive Spectre, Into Darkness (Which I may sell, if anyone wants it, when I buy The Experience), and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. They were all disc-based.

I had (but don't have) the Target exclusive version of The Good Dinosaur. I redeemed the code on DMR instead of DMA and as a result, I lost all the exclusive bonus material and I'm screwed now. I emailed Disney and am still waiting for a response. And unlike Spectre or Jack Ryan, The Good Dinosaur came from the same studio as SW The Force Awakens.

mattysemo247 03-04-16 02:08 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Wait, what? DMR instead of DMA?

Oh, never mind, you mean redeeming it through the app instead of the site. You know you can go back and redeem the same code through the app again to unlock the bonus content, right? :) I had to do the same thing with The Good Dinosaur and Inside Out.

Wrong. I mostly redeem through DMR website as that unlocks the points and the DMA HD copy. In this case, however, if you go through the DMR website first, then your HD copy shows in DMA, but not the bonus content. You can't go back and unlock the content later; the code says it's been redeemed.
There's a two-sided info sheet that says as much -- in the back side only. -rolleyes-

mattysemo247 03-04-16 02:34 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Weird, it let me use both codes on the app on my phone again after originally redeeming them through the website. And the bonus content is now listed under Exclusive Video in the app under the movies. Did you try again recently?

Decker 03-04-16 02:41 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Well, I'll be -- the website didn't work, but the app (which I didn't even realize had the capability to redeem codes) did indeed unlock that exclusive bonus content. Thanks! :up:

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
I'm guessing BB will have a shit ton of the steelbooks in store (or at least more than usual), but I'd just as well want to avoid whatever crowd there may be, so I'll just order it from the site rather than go to the store.

(pretty sure the Target bonus content will be off-disc/online)

Target sent out an e-mail to those who already pre-ordered the regular edition offering to upgrade them to the exclusive, and it explicitly mentions an exclusive bonus disc. It's shown upthread.

Not sure if I trust that e-mail fully (could be that whoever wrote it was just making an assumption) but it points toward a disc. We won't know for sure until someone gets their hands on one, or it's officially confirmed.

The $5 gift card promotion starts again this Sunday. It's mentioned in their ad.

Matthew Chmiel 03-04-16 03:46 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
I pre-ordered the Best Buy steelbook the moment pre-orders went up on Best Buy's site. Knowing how fast Marvel steelbooks go, I didn't want to miss out.

And yes, I will be double dipping as all signs point to a full-blown special edition release coming out towards the holidays.

The Cow 03-04-16 03:58 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Content over case for me. I'll probably be ordering the Target edition once the $5 GC comes back in play Sunday.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
How does Target ship stuff out?

I might pick up The Force Awakens and Game of Thrones season five from their website, but feat they're going to put them in an envelope or something else and they'll get the shit beat out of them by the time they get to my house.

mattysemo247 03-04-16 10:40 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Bubble mailer. I would imagine Game of Thrones will ship in a box though.

I'd prefer that over the ugly Steelbook.
That what's it looks like to me too. Like steelbooks, they are very susceptible to damage, but most cool packaging is that way.

I'll probably try to score at least one of these in store in addition to the one being mailed to me. Then return one of them with the store receipt. Hopefully there will be as many of these as there has been of those Hunger Games exclusives.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
There was some back and forth on Facebook the last couple of days on whether the TARGET bonus content was disc or digital. Some Target reps were saying it was a disc, some were saying it was digital. They posted this today:

Thanks for the opportunity to clear things up for you. The exclusive content will be digital content. We apologize for any confusion and hope that this information will clear things up for you.
The bonus content is supposed to include a never-before-seen interview with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, plus a look at the weaponry in the movie.

Josh-da-man 03-06-16 12:28 AM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
In that case I'm just grab the standard edition from whoever has it the cheapest. No interest in digital content or steelbooks.

Hazel Motes 03-06-16 12:45 AM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Fuck Best Buy and Target and their pillaging of physical media, I'm just gonna wait for the ST box set and stream it in the meantime if I feel like watching it.

Hopefully down the road at some point there will be an ep 1-9 box set with the unaltered OT.

Someone asked them again on Facebook to verify - since they spent about three days telling people it was an extra disc, and they literally posted this to a guy two minutes ago:

Thanks for asking! Yes, this is correct. The exclusive content will be digital content, and not on a disc. We apologize for any confusion.
So NO extra disc...digital online content.

hdnmickey 03-06-16 10:52 AM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
TFA = Disney

Target seems to have this "bonus content" system working really well though DMA and will poissibly never go back to bonus discs for Disney releases. I would prefer a disc, but since I log all my Disney movies on DMA anyway, I don't mind this practice as much as I would if it was UV.

milo bloom 03-06-16 12:12 PM
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - April 5th, 2016
 
Ugh, really don't want to deal with digital content like that.

I may grab the steelbook if the price seems ok, or maybe just a plain version from somewhere else.

Depends on your setup and your options. Can you connect your TV or receiver to an external device like a tablet or laptop? Should I want to, I believe I could get one of our iPads to pair with my receiver via Bluetooth.

Or the DisneyMovies app.
