The Blu-ray does have all of the special features from the 2-disc DVD (unless you're referring to stuff like the postcards and DigiPak packaging).

Has anyone won anything other than the $3 off coupon?

I just got one but don't know what I'm going to do with it since Best Buy doesn't carry these yet and Wal-Mart's stock is limited.

Though my Walmart only had 2 or 3 of the 100 Anni BDs, I found Target had the most with their own display that said Universal 100 Anniversary. The display was at the end of the regular DVD section. Make sure you get the disc that are 14.99 and in the security case. I almost picked up "Do the Right Thing" which wasn't in a security case until I took the slip cover off and saw it was a DVD. Seems Target puts both BD and DVD of the same movie side by side. They most of the collection. BB will probably be late getting these in.....

I've been wondering about why the Paramount Logo was posted on here instead of Universal's. Have they merged or something? Maybe I'm a little behind or missed something.

I have a feeling picking these up is going to be a bit of a challenge for me...found the full lineup of the Blus at two separate Target locations, and over a hundred of them were completely friggin' mangled by those stupid security cases. I really want to talk to someone at Target that can do something about this, because I don 't think there's anything wrong with expecting something to be UNDAMAGED prior to purchase.

Are they in the clear plastic case or spiderwrapped?

The ones I saw were all wrapped in the clear plastic cases...I truly don't understand the rationale on these, as I see TV on DVD sets at much higher price points, and none of them have any theft prevention devices ruining that packaging. UGH, just pisses me off.

Jurassic Park: The Game.

They don't expire for like a year I think.

Thanks...not sure if I'll ever play it though. I should've given it away here instead of downloading it.

It gave me the option to download it for Mac or PC.

Really? My Target had them in clear cases but the slips were all mint. I thought it protected them more than anything.

Nice way to ingratiate the audience, by telling the "peasants" to know their place: The opening was like a wienie roast. Nowadays, when a troubled project like Supernova or Town & Country feels the personal schoolyard disgruntlement to fire off a "Everything's fine, so shaddup!" Waterworld Letter, that's an official confirmation the studio officially knows the project's a disaster and is whistling in the graveyard.

I tried searching for that letter but couldn't find it, do you have a source?

Oops, my mistake, it was writer David Twohy who wrote it:
http://articles.latimes.com/1995-02-...hollywood-love

What sparked the debate was David Twohy, a writer on "Waterworld," who took out ads in the Hollywood trade publications asking the movie industry to stop criticizing the film's huge costs -- estimated at $160 million and climbing -- before it was even completed.
In an "open letter to the industry," Twohy wrote: "Stop gnawing on the hand that feeds you. Just shut the hell up until the movie comes out. When it does, go see it. Then you can decide whether it's deserving of criticism or not."
Twohy said major movies "drive this industry," and added, "All of us should want the studios to swing for the fences with something like 'Waterworld.' Because when a summer movie hits big, there's more opportunity for other films."

(Yep--I was giving the POLITE version. )

How likely is Mystery Men this year?

[willh51]

I picked up Billy Elliot for $12.99 minus the $3 coupon at Best Buy. I watched it last night (great movie I'd never seen) and it looked decent. I suspect there was some filtering that had been done, but it wasn't a wax museum either.

[Guydowood]

anyone know what Target's price points are on these?

I would guess 'not good'. I haven't heard anything, and I don't think there's a big demand for it. Of course, I could be wrong.

Where did the coupon come from?

[UUUUGGGGHHHH]

I picked up "Billy Elliot" for $4.99 plus tax from Best Buy yesterday. Used one of the $5 upgrade-and-save coupons, plus one of the $3 coupons I won from Universal's website.

Also picked up a few more at a local Target store. They had them on an endcap marked "Under $10 Deals" so they gave them to me at $9.99 each.

I picked up the 100th Anniversary edition of Inglorious Basterds today. My local Walmart, in a spectacular display of intelligence, had the 100th Anniversary edition for $11.96 on display right beside the regular edition for $15.00. Then I entered the code it came with into the website and got a $3 coupon for my next 100th Anniversary blu.
