All store exclusives and freebies - 5/18/08 to 5/24/08

These weekly threads are for the posting and discussion of that particular week's store exclusives and freebies.

These lists will likely be incomplete until Thursday or so, since DVDs are released on Tuesday and one of us needs to visit all the stores to confirm things.

Links to the master list and to the previous and next week's thread are below.

Volunteers needed: I regularly go to Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, and Walmart; but don't visit the other stores every week. If you work at or regularly go to the FYE/TWEC chains, Costco, Borders, K-mart/Sears, Barnes and Noble, Blockbuster, Hot Topic, or any other store that has DVD exclusives; We'd appreciate any updates you could give us.

All Stores - Thread for all movie cash and free ticket deals
Adam Sandler movie re-packagings include $7.50 moviecash to his new farce

Best Buy -
National Treasure 2: Book Of Secrets - either edition 30 Day Pass to play games at PiratesOnline.com
Diary Of The Dead: Deluxe Version - Zombie Manual bundled in larger slipcase
WWE Wrestlemania XXIV 3 DVD set - randomly packaged with 1 of 5000 senitypes

I searched and found nothing

Circuit City -

There have been commercials floating around Cartoon Network for Ben 10 Secret of the Omnitrix DVD exclusive to Wal-Mart. And the following article is the only other source of information I can find about the release

No, it was YMMV, as everything in life is.

The next store over may have 30 posters sitting on the counter.

Calm down. These type of exclusives and freebies get changed or delayed all the time. We report what we find out. We don't purposely make stuff up.

The only way this forum works well is if we all work together, helping each other out by sharing information.

The FYE I went today said that some area stores got the poster, but they didn't.

You can piss and moan that the store lied, or that corporate lied, or that we are making stuff up just to mess with you.

Me? I'll just politely share my information with the rest of you and hope that you all have a great night.

i am not aware of any poster from fye, but i havent been to my local store in the last couple weeks.

personally that is what i hate/love about fye - if you do not preorder an exclusive, chances are you will not get one. most stores dont seem to care meh.

I got my signed poster. Looks like you might have just missed the wagon on this one.

The PiratesOnline 30-day pass I got with National Treasure 2 didn't even have a code printed inside. :/
