The Energon Pub

With all the news about Exclusives here, Exclusives there.... Im starting to loose count of all the places. I know Best Buy is doing something. BUT WHAT are they doing. I thought they were doing something with the new Metallic Voyagers, but apparently not anymore. And I know Target is getting some kinda new exclusive comic. And so on...

Can anybody list all the DVD exclusives/variations (what they will come with and where it'll be sold)?

I know theres gonna be a HD DVD, Regular 2 disc, Tin Cover: Decepticon/Autobot Edition in most stores.

**Tin Cover & Steelbook are 2 disk specials.

this is gonna be crazy like the release of the Departed - 20 different versions (i opted for the Bestbuy metal case on that one -it's sick)

Well the metal case is gonna be at other stores too. Not just at Best Buy. The tin cover right?

Yikes, so how many different versions/exclusives will there be? Can some one please list them. Pretty Pleeeeeease?

ok heres what i could find so far. its not much so when some one has anything new to ad copy paste and add new info.

Whoa whoa, back up there!

I could have sworn the 2 disc special edition was BOTH Optimus Prime and Megatron. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Arg, all this **** is so damn confusing!

Can someone tell me if the Wal-Mart 2 pack is generic or the special edition?

What about Target's Transforming case? Generic or special edition?


Man, if anything, I'll get mine at Best Buy for those figures. It's the special edition tin too, right? Or generic?


EDIT: WTF. Now I find out there are actually "Steel Book" editions exclusive to Future Shop? Dammit. And is it only in Canada that you can get 32 page book with the action figures and 2 disc special edition DVD? Dammit!

I just remembered, didn't Target also have an exclusive that included a (special) prequel comic. Different than the one thats already out?

Looks like the standard edition is in the Walmart 2 Pack. This is very disapointing. I really wanted the special edition with the animated disc as well. Sheesh! I bet it's the standard disc that comes in the transforming DVD case too.

Special edition? You mean the 2 disc?

No, it looks like the Target version w/ transforming dvd case will come in the 2 disc special edition. To make a definitive list, we need prices for every store. Also, for circuit city's bonus card with dl code - it gives access to 15 min. of special content. Doubt it'll be about TF2 though.

Hard for me to decide between the Target, Suncoast and walmart's versions though.

***I think this movie is going to set a record for most exclusive/incentive versions. I thought The Departed had a lot. There's no movies I can think of right now that had this many tie-ins. This is insane. Not even SW, LOTR or Matrix. Greedy DW/paramount!!!!!!!!

Well the "special edition walmart discs are seperate from the 2 pack which has the standerd disc with a disc that has the animated thing. So, from Walmart, you can either get the bonus content in the special edition or you can get the movie and the animated prequel narrated by, my man, Peter Cullen. Do you see my delema?

Yea I see what ya mean Asepticon. Just found out somewhere else about that. >.<

I suggest you just buy the 2 disc, and wait for somebody to rip the animated prequel.

**Tin Cover & Steelbook are 2 disk specials.

the sales of this dvd are going to be through the roof tanks to all these variants.

if the special edition is in the transforming case, it shall be mine. if not, the i guess best buy it is.

Snipe -now that's a list!!! I take it the steelbook is a metal case that opens like a book & is connected in the middle. The tin cover - is this a telescoping box with a tin 'lid' and bottom???

I think I might go with the tranforming dvd case for nostalgic reasons. It'll also be a first. The walmart dvd could easily be a dud and the metal case will be my 2nd pic still, but it doesn't do anything (cept look pretty).
