Free Bonuses with DVD releases
Hey fellow schmoes,
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that would inform everyone of all of the bonus giveaways (i.e. bonus discs) that retailers sometime include with DVD releases. I'm sure some of you are like me . . . all about the free stuff! There have been times where I was undecided as to whether or not I was going to buy a DVD, and then found out it had a bonus disc or something included, and that more often than not, it was the deciding factor. But it can be tough to keep track of which retailer is including what bonuses, if any, for all new releases. And most often the free stuff is limited so once its gone, its gone. So I thought everyone could post what they find out each week so we'll all know what's out there and not miss anything. Let me know what you guys think. Here's a few currently released: Sahara - Bonus disc with purchase at Best Buy. Visor with purchase at FYE. Monster-In-Law - CD with purchase at Wal-Mart (my wife was excited about this one). Sin City - Movie poster with purchase at FYE. Comic book with purchase at Best Buy. Tommy Boy: Holy Schnike Edition - Tommy Boy bobblehead with purchase at Best Buy. First episode of HBO series 'Rome' is free with purchase of certain HBO television series at Best Buy. Here are a couple coming soon: Crash - Bonus Disc with purchase at Best Buy. The Longest Yard - Bonus Disc with purchase at Best Buy.

There were only 9 bonus DVD per store for "Sahara" at Best Buy.
Next week there will be a bonus disc on limited copies of season one box set of "Lost" at Best Buy. I'm going to be there when the store opens. It used to be that Best Buy had anywhere from 75-100 bonus discs per store. Not anymore. The August 28th copy of "TV Guide" has a bonus mini disc for the upcoming season of "Lost". Which pisses me off. I've been a subscriber for nearly twenty years. No disc for me. It's only available on retail copies. BASTARDS! Last edited by JohnIan; 09-01-2005 at 09:05 AM..

I got the Tommy Boy special edition with the Bobble-head on tuesday.
Circuit City has is for the same price but with a free t-shirt. I decided I wanted a bobble-head more than a t-shirt.

good choice going with the bobble head
I got my copy of Tommy Boy at Circuit City for several reasons.
1 - It's closer to my house 2 - It was $2 cheaper than other places 3 - Curb Your Enthusiasm season 4 was there for cheaper than other places. Anyway, the t-shirt is pretty bad.It's a Fruit of the Loom extra large white t-shirt. It's plain white with red letters and says: CHRIS FARLEY DAVID SPADE TOMMY BOY ON DVD I thought it would at least have a picture of the movie poster, or the dvd cover, or even have a quote from the movie. I kind of wish I had price matched at Best Buy and gotten the bobble head. Last edited by RyRy; 09-02-2005 at 10:30 PM..

Circuit City Bonus for Tuesday, October 4th, 2005
 Never got into that film. They're also selling Alba's Honey for $7.49. I'll probably pick it up. Not because it's a good movie, but just to see her prance about. Last edited by JohnIan; 10-02-2005 at 05:26 AM..

According to DavisDVD.com
Retail giant Wal-Mart has snagged an exclusive bonus DVD from Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox that will come bundled with the November 1st release of Star Wars - Episode II: Revenge of the Sith. The disc, titled The Story of Star Wars, features the newly-created hour-long program chronicling father and son Anakin & Luke Skywalker, as told by R2-D2 & C-3PO. No word on how limited the disc will be, but you can bet I'll be there to pick up a copy on day one. Ummm. I may have to find a Walmart.

Wal-Mart was including a full-size movie-related book with Kingdom of Heaven and it was still $14.87. They had quite a few left at the one near me when I was there on Friday.

Circuit City Bonus for Tuesday, October 25th, 2005
 ... Not much of a bonus. On the other hand, Wherehouse has a bonus disc for Tripping The Rift (first season). What is it? Your guess is as good as mine. What bothers me is that all the sale DVDs have a lower price because of a mail-in rebate. I hate those. I'm still waiting on a rebate for the printer I bought three years ago. I don't play that game anymore. I'll probably buy that bonus DVD on Ebay or such. CORRECTION Wherehouse has a second bonus, a free cap for Herbie: Fully Loaded. Would you wear it in public?
