Jeff Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 The bonus DVD comes with the movie, doesn't it? Maybe I don't understand your meaning. Well, I'm getting it the first day it comes out anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Seems the bonus disc you get from wal-mart has all the web documentaries and some other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze629 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Well you can buy the film by itself or you can pay $5 more and get the bonus DVD DarthMoeller. At least that's the info I get from Walmart.com. I will definitely get the bonus DVD set in a widescreen format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Seems the bonus disc you get from wal-mart has all the web documentaries and some other stuff. I see. Well I'll probably get it from there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoast2895 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 anyone who actually watched the walmart bonus disk could you please say what it is exactly. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Pretty lame that they take some of the extras and put them on a seperate disc that's only available at certain stores. Best Buy did the same thing with Star Trek the Original Series. And the disc isn't free, you are paying $5 for it... Oh well, another way to get my business from Wal-Mart this one time... I noticed that the most expensive way to buy the ROTS DVD is from LucasArts online store... interesting. One thing I don't get though is that stores in my area (the big retail stores, like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc) seem to have burn marks around the center hole, as if they goof up slightly during the pressing process. All the DVD's I've bought from them in the last year (including some I returned 'cause they looked so bad) have had that. Yet in my DVD collection (stretching back to 1999) none of them have these marks. Has DVD production taken a dip in quality lately? One store-person argued that the burn marks don't interfere with viewing (and she was right) but I wonder if they'll "last" as long as one without?

eastcoast2895 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 does anyone know a way to get the sticker off the bonus dvd case without leaving anything on it? i took it off but there is a bunch of that white sticker stuff left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Spit on it and then scratch really hard. If that doesn't work, then wash the DVD case with soap and lick it, then rub really hard. JUST KIDDING, just kidding.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 DVD case stickers are notorious pieces of crap that I hate with a passion. I once tried to patiently steam off the AOL label from a DVD keepcase using a vaporizer. I didn't quite succeed... all the rubbing and heat caused the plastic to warp and it looked like crap when I was done. Here is what you do... Go to the store. Buy a pack of empty DVD cases ("amray" or "keep case" style, you can get ones that hold 1 disc or two discs, in several styles, including the exact ones used by 20th century fox/LucasFilm). Open up the case, pull out the label (it's just a sheet of glossy paper). Open up the new case you bought, slip the paper inside, swap the disc(s) and inserts into the new case, and wa la! (the last one is what I use for two-dvd sets, and it has room for the insert booklet!) Apparently they also make cases that can hold 3 or even 4 discs, but you may need to order these over the 'net. I've only seen the single and double variants in stores around where I live. Good as new. I did this with my TPM DVD that I bought used from blockuster. Their case sucked and it was covered with stickers that were impossible to remove without tearing. Popped it into a new box, and it looks as good as new.... only thing missing is the "chapter stops" insert. But I think I can probably find a scan of that on the 'net and print it out. These plastic cases aren't that expensive, and considernig how much nicer looking and more durable they are than those stupid jewel cases, they're well worth it.

Kurgan Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Anyway, I'd like to get this DVD, and it only sounds like it's worth about 5 bucks (an hour long special, sort of like the fluff "National Geographic Beyond the Movie" discs they made for the LOTR movies). And it's another way to make more money. They should have taken all those game demos and game trailers and put THEM on the bonus DVD, instead of making the movie content the bonus. Man they're greedy... but I guess if I want to get the "whole package" I have to play along with their little ploy. Anybody that gets it, btw, post a review here and let us know what we're missing.

El Sitherino Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Heh, I just used some goo gone and rubbed that crap off. Good as new, but when getting new DVD's with all kinds of crazy junk on em, do what Kurgan suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I got that sticker stuck on there too. Well, I guess that's what you get with Wal-Mart. My mom used aerosol to get it off, worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Ah, goo gone I've seen, but I never tried it. Most of those products never work as advertised, but since you suggested it, I might give it a shot next time. What kind of aerosol did she use?

TK-8252 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 What kind of aerosol did she use? Err... the kind that comes in a can... and it sprays on... yeah... that kind. I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Guess I better hold off on that one until I know exactly what it is. My first guess was spray lubricant (like for machinery), but that might ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze629 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Heh, I just used some goo gone and rubbed that crap off. Good as new, but when getting new DVD's with all kinds of crazy junk on em, do what Kurgan suggested. You had the same idea as me. I thought about using that LOL, but didn't have any. I used household cleaner amongst other things and got it off. Took quite a bit of time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast2895 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 thanks for the advice. asked my sister and she said to put peanut butter on it, cover it, and let it sit for the night then rub it off. and since currently i do not have goo gone off to peanut butter land, now only to figure out if i should use chunky or creamy.

Samduhman Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Someone in another forum said the bonus disk was a rip off. I took his word for it and bought the regular version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze629 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I wasn't really expecting much for only $5. It's just a recap of the OT(Luke) and Episodes I and II(Anakin)from R2 and C3PO. Nothing we don't already know but I thought it was a nice little addition for only $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can you tell us more about it? Is it a narrative? An interview? Does George Lucas speak in it? Does he try to tie up any loose story ends? Or is it just (like you make it sound) a plot summary of all 6 movies with clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
