Anyone know of any freebies that come with the purchase of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End? Im thinking bestbuy going to have one cool give away.

Walmart has there, now usual bonus disc with purchase. Not sure what is on it though. And you want blu-ray like me you get screwed on all that stuff anyways.

You know I really miss the days of buying a DVD for... you know.... the DVD. Seems like some people care MORE about the cheap gimmicky giveaway item than the DVD that one must purchase to obtain the cheap gimmicky giveaway item.
Just something I have noticed. That's all.

Best Buy Exclusive Bonus DVD! Features 43 minutes of extras when you buy any version of POTC: AWE!
POTC: AWE - $14.99
POTC: AWE: 2-Disc Special Limited Edition - $22.99
POTC: AWE: Best Buy Exclusive 2-Disc Gift Set Including Captain Teague Figurine - $29.99
No word on Circuit City or Target yet, but Best Buy was the best source for the POTC: DMC disc, so I doubt anyone will be better than Best Buy this time around. Oh, and Demolition Man--what the hell are you on about? If one already knows they're going to buy a given title, why wouldn't there be robust discussion about what extra bonus they might be able to pick up with it? Maximum bang for one's dollar a crime? At "Cheap Ass" Gamer, no less?

In CC ad it shows that it will be 13.99 for the standard version and you get a free "visual guide" with purchase. I havent seen the guide come in yet but I wouldnt keep your hopes up.

From my observations I've noticed that some people care more about the free gimmicky item that the DVD they are buying. Free stuff is good and I'm not saying that giving away keychains and shirts isn't a bad idea at all. But ultimately its the DVD that matters to me.
Just saying how I feel that's all.

What are you basing this assertion on, though? There isn't much dialogue to be had on a movie's DVD because everyone sells the same ones, so one need only find out the best price and, boom, over and done. But the "free gimmicky items" are exclusive to each vendor, so there's much more room for discussion and inquiry to maximize one's purchase. That, by no means, means that we care about the freebie more than the movi proper.

Honestly anyways... I'll take a lower price over a better freebie. But that's just me. :D

If the freebie is some crap like a stupid mask or toy, I don't give a flying....
But damn, if it's that free movie cash I just can't help myself. I bought the steelbook Live Free or Die Hard just cause it had a ticket for Hitman.... and I didn't even want to see Hitman!

WM doing free AWE PC game w/ purchase of DVD. Packaged with DVDs only, no Blu-Ray (not that they would even have the BR version).
BB version packaged with Capt'n Teague 7" figure!
Didn't see anything about a bonus disc at BB. If there is one, then I'm going there!

Amazon is listing the br for $24 right now. I'm waiting to see if they lower the price next week (maybe to match someone else's deal?). But $24 shipped (w/ Prime) isn't bad.

A lot of people are constantly interested in the 2-Disc Special Editions and will pay a premium for them as well. This definitely shows that people are more interested in bonus crap than the movie itself.

I'm not saying the 2 disc SEs are worthless. I own a number of the better ones since I enjoy getting a better idea of how a film is made. No problem paying a little extra for stuff like that. :D

12-01-2007, 01:47 AM
Anyone remember back when 2-disc SE"s were the norm? My Spider Man 1 and 2 were BOTH 2 disc editions for what I paid for the 1 disc edition of 3. Same with HP 1-3 compared to 4, and now POTC 2/3 compared to 1. It just saddens me that the industry moved to this new model of charging $8 extra for the special editoin just to squeeze some more money out of consumers. Yay for modern American consumerism.

Don't presume my emotional level. Furthermore, if you'd have actually made your supporting point at the beginning (e.g. "I'll take a lower price over a better freebie", which indicates you believe the problem is people paying a possible premium for a "gimmick", rather than securing the cheapest price for the film proper--not that the "gimmick" is more important than the actual film, as you were asserting), instead of at the end of a lengthy series of meaningless sentences, I might have not gotten so fired up over what I read as a rather insulting and baseless accusation. In any case, don't get defensive when you're the one who started the finger-pointing.

WTF??? Are we confusing the terms "movie" and "DVD" here? No, people who want 2-disc versions don't value the extra material over the film proper, they enjoy it as an enhancement of the film proper. They do value it more than a 1-disc DVD release, if that's an alternative option, but not more than the actual movie itself.

The other two Pirates BD's have come with the 2 disc content, I don't see why this one would be any different. Also, BB has a bonus disc that comes with any version of Pirates. From what I remember when they did this with the last movie, the bonus disc was NOT on pack but a separate disc you could just pick up on the counter or cardboard display. If they do the same thing this time, you should be able to get their exclusive disc with the BD Pirates as well.

Only down side to that deal with Buy.com is that it is with 7-9 day shipping..

Both of the previous Pirates movies were part of studio sponsored buy 1 get 1 sales shortly after release on blu-ray. I bet this movie will also be part of a similar deal shortly after the new year, if not sooner.
I can wait until then.

I think its the same size that came with your Blu-Ray booklet or warning sign. If you use this sheet and turn it over, then printout the coupon to look legit! Think smart! ;)

I just tried to use this coupon at CC and it worked(YMMV). The cashier girl tried to scan the coupon but it didn't work so she went to ask her manager. After 2 minutes, she came back and manually entered the price. $19.99 for a new Bluray disc. Great deal. I also got the PoTC Complete Visual Guide for free.
Thanks fot the coupon.

I tried the $10 off coupon at BB and after it wouldn't scan after a few tries, the guy wouldn't give it to me. He wouldn't manually enter it because he said he doesn't know if he could take it.
I went to Target and after looking at it for a couple of seconds, the girl scanned it and it actually went through.
So I guess this is what the "participating retailers" part of the coupon meant? Who knows...
Also, I basically didn't get any of the freebies that the other stores were offering but at the price I paid, I'm not complaining. Besides, I went to BB first with this coupon and I realized after the fact that I didn't even go to get the free disk so I would've missed out on that, anyway. :-#

OK, two BD-related problems: First, someone I know bought the movie on DVD and it did NOT include the BD coupon. Is it only included in the 2-disc DVD version? Does, say, Wal-Mart, not include the coupon? Second, Wal-Mart was charging pennies-shy of $30 for the Blu-Ray disc and not the $26 reported in this thread.
