Hey, I charge royalties for that image.

Btw, people mistakenly use G1 for anything bigger than BD size. The BBY exclusive IS NOT G1, it's actually bigger (wider). But, I'm just being technical.

It's just bigger packaging. It's actually wider than a DVD, which is technically what G1 is.

Also, doesn't G1 specifically refer to steelbooks?

Picked up the walmart version because the extra seems most interesting. Other version seem like just few interviews and event footage while Walmart version seem like an actual "making-of" extras.
I like special packagings, but care about the actual extras more. Plus, I had gift card left over for walmart

I got this. The bonus disk is well worth watching.

Can't vote since it only allows 1. Picked up Walmart, BestBuy & Target exclusives.

Yep - correct.

And you should have an option in the poll for those who bought multiples.

How great of an effect do these types of exclusives have on retail sales? Is there any data available for this? I'm just curious, but too lazy to look into it.

Yeah at first the thought of the G1 size bothered me, until I realized a lot my of digipack collections such as Dark Knight trilogy and the Terminator anthology were the same size. Even my Apocalypse Now Full Disclosure edition is that size and I always just thought of that as a special edition over the regular bluray sized version. Went for the BB exclusive with my reward zone coupons!!
