I hopped over to Target this morning like I said I was going to. No shelf tag for Bug's Life showing 19.99 and it rang up at 29.99. I showed the cashier the ad. She responded the copy I had wasn't the combo version. A second later, she overrode the price and I was out the door. It was a goofy transaction because of that. The other discs on sale all had shelf tags...but I didn't see any other Disney combo packs on sale.

Yep and post corrected. I think that was one of my very early DVD I bought and one of the few is those horrible disc scratching drawer/slide cases (Terminator and a couple others

also came in those atrocities).

I've read elsewhere that the BluRay of Four Weddings & A Funeral has a commentary track, special features... and an eyelash on the upper right quadrant of the screen for most of the picture. Nonetheless I'll get it. It is not at my local Target yet, but chances are it will be a long-term part of their $10 shelf so I am not worried about difficulty finding it.

 

[David Norman]

Well, I can confirm the commentary track, Deleted Scenes, Wedding Planners Doc, In the Making Featurette, and 2 Actors and a Director Featurette


50GB disc AVC encode

5.1 DTS-HD English Audio


I'm looking for the eyelash -- but I can't find it though I just skimmed through the chapters quickly.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that, unlike other Pixar titles, there is only one version of A Bug's Life. It has a Blu-ray and a digital copy disc.

Some of the other 50 at Ultimate Electronics that I saw included There's Something About Mary, Johnny Darko, The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor, Signs, and The Sixth Sense. But individual stores can vary, I suspect.

I thought so too. I pointed out the Digital Copy on the cover. Stupid thing is Disney always has a different cover in early promo material than actually makes it to the shelf. That was part of the issue, I think.

Surprisingly, my local Wal-Mart would not let me use the Dances With Wolves coupon because it wasn't "in their system." The clerk scanned it...it didn't register...she went to her customer service manager who said, "no." Too bad, cuz they had DWW for $18. It would have brought it down to $13.


I did, OTOH, pick up the $9.99 Target exclusives of The Magnificent Seven and Four Weddings and a Funeral. The titles are scattered throughout my Target's Blu section. Each one has a special "Only at Target sticker stuck to the outside shrinkwrap. I've never seen FW&aF...but my wife is always asking me to watch Hugh Grant movies. This one seems fairly popular.

Notting Hill and Four Weddings may be his best two films, imo.

The WM/DWW coupon problem is being reported pretty much everywhere. Some stores are over-riding the coupon since obviously it should scan, other are being a pain about

it and saying "If it doesn't scan, nothing we can do." Target's system seems to be working fine though a bit more expensive and BB is being it's typical. Even when BB will match the other stores or BB.com price, they often won;'t let a coupon go through in combination with the PM.


Best deal seems to be for those with Ult Electronics yet again - $15.95 and most stores seem to accept the MQ or pricematch at Target and stack the coupon if the UE store is OOS.

 

[David Norman]

For those that haven't picked up Dances with Wolves Bluray yet or for those who may want to get a better price.

Target B&M may have this at $14.99. Using the $5 coupon --- $9.99 is a pretty good deal.

The "may" part was posted before many reports had come in and I was a little worried that the first reports were price errors or regional sales, but this seems have been confirmed at multiple stores across the country. There are also quite a few stores OOS.


I think all those Target Exclusive deals are all still alive though stock seems to be limited in a lot of areas.
