I wonder how the wife would feel if I put it on our two year old?

thanks for lettin' us know.

Anyone know what's on the Wal-Mart bonus DVD?

 

[Will_B]

Whaaa?

I just checked and it is the same 2 disc set as everywhere, it is not a Walmart exclusive. Not that you said it was (but the implication of the possibility was there).

 

[Ken Seeber]

Wal-Mart is advertising an exclusive bonus disc, packaged in a separate keepcase side by side (shrinkwrapped) with the movie. From what I can tell on Wal-Mart's Web site, they're only packaging the bonus disc with the single-disc version of "V for Vendetta."

Hmmm...was just in there this morning, and glimpsed a new V for Vendetta display right out front by the checkouts as I was leaving, but the "bonus DVD" shrinkwrapped with the 1-disc version was, in fact, The Animatrix.

This could vary from region to region, though.

 

[TonyD]

i saw this also at walmart.
btw i thought the "authentic" mask was too small and not very interesting

and what makes this authentic?

 

[JoePassmore]

Anyone have a good pic of the mask yet?

 

[Matthew Marino]

Swing over to dvdtalk.com for pics of the sets. Theres both the lenticular cover and the mask/poster set.

 

[JoePassmore]

Thanks for the heads up. It's a little underwhelming, I'm glad I didn't import.

I just went to Futureshop and picked up my 2 disc set. I wasn't going to get this at all, waiting for the inevitable pricedrop a few months down the line, but then my coworker walked in and showed me the beautiful metal DVD case that comes as an extra - exclusive to Futureshop.

It has the same artwork and text as the cardboard slipcase, but has a nice metal finish. Muted gold bordering the front. The inside is a semi-translucent plastic, where you can see masked figures underneath (printed onto the inside of the metal case I assume). The spine is also neat - it is plastic, but not cheap-looking. The metal case surrounds this plastic spine, making it look like you have another DVD case inside it.

I got my copy from Best Buy in Canada, and we got a lenticular cover in addition to the comic book. Pretty cool.... Can't wait to watch it tonight.

 

[Max Leung]

Ah crap - the nice shiny case has all this ugly French lettering all over it, right beside the English ones. ARRRRRGGH.

Joe, did you lenticular cover have French on it too?

Maybe I should have waited for the DVD to hit the bargain bin instead. Grrrrr.

 

[JoePassmore]

Nope, no french (thank God).

 

[EricTB]

Funny how on Best Buys website it shows the box set sold out.

 

[Sam Favate]

Target sold the 2-disc edition with the lenticular cover and the comic book (1st two issues of the series). I don't ever buy store exclusives, but the lenticular cover is very nice.

BTW, Natalie Portman's SNL skit is an easter egg on disc 2.

 

[Max Leung]

Joseph, thanks for the support-group like assurance.

The metal case is VERY nice despite the bilingual text. I may use it to store the inevitable hidef version.

 

[Sean Bryan]

The "Natalie Raps" digital short? I hope it also makes it to the HD DVD (if Warner Brothers ever releases the thing. Day and date new releases my ass!!)

 

[JoePassmore]

Can someone post a pic of the metal case??
