Pre-orders Available for Walmart 2 disc Exclusive DVD

Unless you don't have a WalMart near you, I don't see the point?

It's not like the stores won't have a big block display for this once you walk in!

Preorder if your secluded, otherwise, GO OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!

yeah i've never gotten the point of pre-ordering movies ...i mean stores always have tons of copies of the big hits...and every store sells them so you can always find a copy somewhere

i live in a fairly big city so maybe that helps but i have never had a store tell me they sold out...i always find the movies on the day of release, the only times i havent was because canada had a delayed release compared to the american date

unless there's some uber special cheap price and/or promotion only available by pre-order....i just dont get why people do.

but hey.....its an awesome movie so just buy it anyway u want..lol

Yeah I would rather go to Walmart and pick it up myself

I seen this picture of the case today at Wlamart and was very pleasantly surprised

Hell even my extremely anti TF friends and family tipped me off to this.

When I explained the EXCLUSIVE situation to them, they got just as peeved, and confused as we are!

So wait? This doesnt include the 2nd disc from the regular 2 disc addition? Your buying the movie twice in order to get a prequel?

Just gotta make this even more confusing don' you!

Target:

Standard single disc case.

Transforming DVD case, with exclusive comic for the 2-Disc Collector's Edition.

Best Buy:

Standard cases (Standard single disc, 2-Disc Collector's Edition, HD-DVD), the 2-Disc Collector's Edition comes with exclusive Robot Heroes figures. (Cliffjumper, Battle Damaged Optimus)

Wal-Mart:

Standard (single disc, just the movie with commentary) ($14-15.00)

2-Disc collector's Edition. ($22.00+)

2-Pack (Standard single disc, plus animated Prequel, the one in the Wal-Mart link from the first post) $20.00

Circuit City:

Standard single disc.

2-Disc Collector's Edition with Classified Digital Content Card (allows access to 15 minutes of exclusive footage. Which will probably end up on YouTube, sooner or later. lol)

HD-DVD 2-Disc Collector's Edition.

K-Mart:

Nothing, nada. They're slummin' it as usual. K-Mart is a Chav store. (Thank you Brits. )

-----------------------------------------

And yeah, this set in question is the single disc because of the price. Wal-Mart did that with Batman Begins. Although that set was closer to $25-27 in some Wal-Marts.

All the retailers (except K-Mart) will have the HD-DVD version of the film as well. (It's the same as the 2-Disc Collector's Edition, but only in High Definition) This will start at about $30.00 and go up, if you take into account the prices of other HD-DVD titles.

One of 'em was supposed to come in a metal case, but I'm not sure which retailer that was. But it wasn't all that impressive. EDIT: I remember now. Canadian Best Buy stores were supposed to get the metal case, along with the Target comic book in the Collector's Edition.

I was going to go for the Target exclusive because of the transforming case, but I won't for three very important reasons:

1.) I'm not wasting 50 miles (round trip) worth of gas for a movie.

2.) I'm not going to depend on a DVD case that will break sooner or later (and it will, just look at those hinges and whatnot.)

3.) I can get the Collector's Edition cheaper at Wal-Mart.

Hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion folks.

Now I don't know which Region 1 version to get. Will it be worth forking out me money for the Walmart version or not now.

What comes with the HD version

Nothing. Just the standard 2-Disc Collector's Edition, but in 720p/1080i/p High Definition.

Who is the decepticon beside Megatron on the DVD cover? Is it Barricade?

Can't wait 3 weeks?

I'm not sure what "exclusives" we will be getting down here, but I have not heard anything about the Walmart version, so it might be the one to get...

yes. the only other decep to get more than a minute's screentime

Does anyone know more about the prequel that's in the Walmart version? I really wanted to get that, but if that means missing out on the second disc full of extras then...I dunno... *iffy*

Nope can't wait 3 weeks. With the dollar as good as it is why not order from OS. No bloody OFLC labels on the packaging. Besides Im a big OP fan and can't see the old blokes narrating comic thing coming here. He aint a celebrity doing VO he is a real voice over guy so no one cares. Cept me

im getting the Walmart set. Sure it doesnt have the extra content the regular two disc set, but do i really need a disc full of Michael Bay hot-air and the required interviews with actors talking about how hard it is to act on blue-screen? No thanks, I'll take the prequel comic...even if it sucks its still got Peter Cullen
