Hehheh... I think I'd be *MUCH* more interested in whatever extras for WoOz than for GwtW though

And it's already starting to sound like I should definitely hold off on the Gremlins BD at Target as well based on comments in Ron's "a few thoughts" thread in the HD software section...

Made one of my semi-annual journeys to Target today. Disappointingly, I left empty-handed. Lots of good sales, but mostly empty shelves where all the sale merchandise should be.

Saw the "Gremlins" BR, but no luck on the "MvsA" BR/DVD pack, which is what I really went there for in the first place.

Hopefully there will be some deals actually available when I get back there in December.

The reason why it only seems like they randomly list certain Blu-rays is because they will only make available titles that are certified to be region-free and don't have a known (or rumored) domestic release date in the near future.

Yes they do. The listing will specifically mention that it is being sold by Amazon as an import title that has been verified to play on "Region A" Blu-ray players.

Ooooh... Good to know that then. Have you actually both some of them?

Thanks.
