Well, I did some heavy digging on the 'net and discovered (on MTV.com) that the bonus tracks at Target are acoustic versions of "Billy Brown" and "My Interpretation." The bonus tracks at Best Buy are acoustic versions of "Love Today" and "Satellite" -- oddly enough, "Satellite" is a non-album track, so this might be the better purchase. I was hoping for the acoustic version of "Grace Kelly," but no luck. (It'll probably be an iTunes exclusive.)

I read on another board that Target will have a bonus track of his version of Like A Virgin, which would be fun to hear coming from a male singer-songwriter

Hmmm... I would love if someone could confirm this.

Anybody able to report on the content of the first Pursuit of Happyness bonus disc? The second one is reportedly an audio book of the original novel, so that's a given.

I called Target and the two exclusive tracks on Mika's CD are acoustic versions of Billy Brown and My Interpretation.

The AD for it on the back of Entertainment Weekly describes it as having the The Making of The Pursuit of Happyness as the content of disc 2.

Specifically looking for the actual content and running time. These go either way. Could be a cool 60 min piece or a lame 11 min piece like the Saw II bonus.

I'll be picking it up at lunch and could check to see if anything is mentioned on the packaging, but nowhere I've seen on the 'net has anything about it and it doesn't go into detail on the magazine ad.

Just like that lame Saw III disc. I guess I'll do the same thing I did with their Saw III package. I bought it and waited, and it that case, ended up returning it unopened once I learned how little bonus material was included.

Got it. Here's the lowdown:

Packaging - The case is the same as the regular Widescreen version except it has one of those hinges inside the keepcase to house the bonus disc, unlike the regular version. The audiobook is in half-plastic/half-paper sleeve slid into the left side of the case where an insert would be (there is no insert). There is a slipcover that goes over it, which is what reads "3-Disc Widescreen Deluxe Edition DVD". The case cover art is identical to the one disc version.

Content - Disc 1 is the same. Disc 2 runs 26:57 and contains interviews with cast and crew interspersed with film clips. Disc 3 is the Audiobook and the chapters are listed on the face of the CD itself.

All in all, sounds better than the Saw III deal, but won't be enough to impress anyone wishing to save a few bucks. However, I'm glad to have it since it's likely limited in quantity and could be a minor collector's item that would fetch a few more bucks on the resale market than the standard release a ways down the road.

Did anyone see the Happy Feet deluxe set in widescreen? I just got back from my local Target and all they had was the fullscreen deluxe.

Thanks for the update.

I considered it, but for $9 more then CC, I could not justify it since I probably would never use the audiobook disk.

At least it does seem a better value then Saw was which I bought and returned.

Thanks for the info Dane. I went ahead and made the trip to Target and picked this up. Now I'll keep my eyes out to see if they will reduce the price in the near future so I can get some of that price back. We are big Will Smith fans, so this is somehting we want, but the cost still is kind of hard to take knowing the standard version of this DVD will be on the $7.50 rack in no time.

Anyway, their Da Vinci Code exclusive went down in price in time so maybe this will as well.

And for those looking for a Happy Feet Deluxe in Widescreen - I don't think they made them. Our local store had many (at least 50 copies) of the Deluxe and all of them were Full Screen.

Meh, the only copies of She's the Man I'm finding at Target this week are full screen. Anyone have luck finding widescreen out there?

Sweet, there it is at CC after the 8th. Any idea if it's widescreen?
