Best Buy Bond Collection question - Blu-ray Forum

lobo81865 · 03-24-2009, 03:56 PM

Anyone know why the set with "The Man With the Golden Gun, License to Kill, and Quantum of Solace" is a Best Buy exclusive?

Much like they (and Target) did with the Twilight Blu-Ray, Best Buy paid for an exclusive release window. Has anyone picked them up yet today? Can anyone confirm the rumor that the disks are individually packaged in the cardboard (ala Spider-Man) but don't have cardboard slipcovers?

It is 60 bucks but the Man with the golden gun and License are not due out until May. I am a bit confused.

BWOzar · 03-24-2009, 04:05 PM

Golden Gun and Licence to Kill come out independantly in May (the 12th I believe). Otherwise the only way to get them in the U.S. is at Best Buy in the $60 bundle with Quantum of Solace that is released today.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hahaha, as long as you mean "The gritty, gutty 'plays-the-game-the-right-way' Brett Gardner" then absolutely it is

All three (Quantum, Golden Gun, and Licence) are in seperate cases, unlike the volume three (WiNE, Goldfinger, and Moonraker) collection.

Do they have the cardboard slip covers like the individual releases of the other 9 Bonds out so far?

no, no slipcases (Quantum doesn't have one anyways for any release though)

J.Cornelius · 03-24-2009, 04:44 PM

Thanks for the help. This seems like a great deal, 20 bucks per movie, I am in.

danjross · 03-24-2009, 04:53 PM

Oh, okay, then I am in.

I agree, I think this is a really good deal. Does anyone know if the special features are included on any of these discs though or movie only?

Thanks

All the special features are there. It's the same releases as the ones coming in may just a little early. Picked mine up today. Pretty great deal.

CHEAP PLASTIC CASES
NO INSIDE ART OR PAPERWORK

Agreed. And with the "Buy any two Bond Blus and get $10.00 off" deal, it was a Bodacious Best Buy Bond Blu Bonanza today. Five flicks for a hundred bucks.

Check this guy out.. he has the pictures...
