And there are rumors of a release date of August 28th (prototype ad with mock boxart?) or Blu-ray.com's listing of September 25th. The above site lists September 19th, which is presumably the UK release date.

I hope this isn't all that we're getting. I was looking forward to a documentary for the comic like the one they did for Iron Man.

While it wasn't one of my top comic book movies, I liked it enough that I'll probably pick it up. It looks like a decent amount of deleted scenes for the release.

Its official: The DVD/Blu-Ray comes out on September 13th.

 

[Astrolupine]

Doesn't give us any details for the regular DVD, or if there's any word on a possible 'directors cut' thingy.

Cool! Thanx for that. I noticed the short is going to feature Coulson, figured that. I guess it'll fill in some blanks.

Wow! Sorta reconsidering pre-ordering on Amazon, now.

You think Target will have any cool exclusives? Their Iron Man 2 set was awesome.

Haven't read any recent news but doesn't both stores usually do special versions for most popular dvd releases or am I imagining that?

Wow, that IM2 set looks great! I am a sucker for metal cases like the ones by SteelBooks. But for that IM2, that was the only exclusive part; the case and interior? I'm intrigued by this. So only Target had a special version of the Blu-Ray?

Both stores as of late have been setting up exclusives. Best Buy seems to have been mostly DC comics friendly, and Target Marvel friendly. I could be wrong. I just remember BB releasing exclusive dc dtvs and Batman dvd's and Target did an exclusive Incredible Hulk package. Target is kinda a newcomer though.

Ah, interesting development with a Best Buy exclusive for Thor instead of Target

As for the Hulk one, was that the Blu-Ray that was colored green instead of the signature blue hues the Blu-Ray cases have?

I believe the case was the only special thing in the pack. It was about ten bucks more expensive than the other editions, but I really didn't like the other cases featuring the "suitcase suit" that was only used for one scene. I buy things for silly reasons like that.

Yeah, I didn't understand why they used that suit for the dvd cover either. Didn't they use that for the film poster too? I kinda wish they would truly just use one new suit for each film to serve the purpose of the story. Just one more flaw of IM2.

I have Target exclusive packages of Iron Man (Mark III Helmet DVD Case), The Dark Knight (Batman mask DVD Case and Bonus Disk with "Batman Unmasked" documentary), Spider-Man 3 (Exclusive Slipcase over the regular sleeve, Bonus disc with extra features, and a production booklet), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (DVD case is also a photo/production book) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (With transforming Bumblebee case). I've seen some for Twilight, Transformers, The Incredible Hulk, and the aforementioned Iron Man 2.

I think they use to have special versions of the DC Universe movies with bonus episodes, I bought my copy of Justice League: Crisis on Two-Earths the week it came out there, but didn't get any.

Tuesday's almost here... Any news of exclusives?
