Listing for what appears to be a disc only set coming April 24th. Posted it in the main Casablanca thread but others seem oblivious to it and are concluding they won't release a non-CE version anytime soon. I doubt J&R would create such a listing if it wasn't planned...

^ All above. Pricing was listed at the bottom of post. Thought it was interesting enough to post here. Silly me. I should have just posted it in the LE/Collectibles thread.

I don't think they were asking what the price is; I think they were wondering what the deal is, aside from the fact that it's now available for pre-order.

Thanks for mentioning this. I will probably get the disc-only set - or else wait until the 70th set is an amazon DODT.

For some reason people are starting to believe that simply stating the price of an item makes it a "Hot Deal".

This thread is a good example, but more commonly, stating that such and such new release is $19.99 is pretty common around here, but $19.99 is a very common price for a new release these days and hardly constitutes a "HOT DEAL". Two years ago it did, but not any longer, now it's the standard with a few exceptions (Disney, 3D titles).

That's great! I must have missed your post! Thanks!

[svenge]

The UPC that J&R has for that BD set also has a place-holder listing @ Half.com for April, so that's a little bit of collaborating evidence...

[ssjmichael]

Yeah I believe half.com added that today because I've been checking the UPC through google shopping the past few days and only jr.com had it listed. I'm sure others will show up soon.

Here's hoping that Target's B&M locations will carry this, and that this will be listed for $45.99 in next week's flyer: this is a perfect opportunity for a price match at Best Buy and for me to redeem some RZ gift certificates.
