DVD Exclusive Smash

I need to work on the title for this. Today we have very different mash of Exclusives. Normally I wouldn’t talk about disney exclusives, mostly because of how lame they have been in the past. But this week we have a very unique and interesting mash of exclusives. Also some aren’t exclusives, the re-release and Blu-ray edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, which is out in October, has some very interesting mix of things to come. It is also probably the most exclusive and specifically released movie I have seen. In other words I have seen 6 different packaging types for this movie, well from Amazon.com anyways. Well, 7 if you count Best Buy’s exclusive Steelbook packaging which is actually included and can be used as a separate packaging. I am also a bit confused with a certain piece of packaging which is the 2 disk set. You can choose between DVD packaging and/or Blu-ray packaging; both containing DVD and Blu-ray discs respectively. Kids and both adults-fans of the movies will be treated quite well and to their specific packaging needs. Just take a look at the exclusives: (also I won’t make it huge to save room, and just click on the image for bigger art detail)

In Order: Regular DVD packaging and DVD Packaging with DVD and Blu-ray Combo.

Here is the Blu-ray Diamond Edition which does include Blu-ray and DVD combo. Next to this is another non-exclusive but which includes a book (not sure what it contains). And $10 off your next Disney store purchase.

Here’s the biggest one which thought deserved a bigger space for: It comes in a huge box which has the collectors book shown above in a nicer book art (apparently), the Blu-ray and DVD, some production art, and apparently snow white with the seven dwarfs in a pin set. Now that’s what I call going all out.

Now here’s the final of the DVD goodies we have here, and this one includes the DVD and Blu-ray with Plushies of the Seven Dwarfs. Very cute for kids or people who are into the Plush collecting. Next to that is the Best Buy Exclusive Pre-sale Steelbook packaging. Its small, but that’s all I could get.

I have no problem with the choices on how you want to get your Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs copy I really respect this actually since this was the first actual Disney movie release. If your a huge fan of Disney before the Miley Cyrus and High School Muscial era (this era unfortunately), then you have a wide span ways on how to further your Golden Days of Disney collecting. Now if only they did this for Pinocchio or Peter Pan…

The Office: Season 5

Yep, not done yet. I got to talk about The Office Season 5 release. There are more exclusives now that I thought was going to be out for tomorrow. Here’s what Best Buy is getting; which is my favorite I think:

Everything that’s in the Shrute Farms box set is said right in the picture. Very awesome and huge set, but I really want this. Its really awesomely themed and got a good amount of stuff. I only wish it was in Blu-ray though, I’m hoping for a Blu-ray set like this.

This one I found very plain like most Target exclusives. Its very small but reads: Includes 45-minute interview with the writers, a script and cast magnets. I’m not too crazy about this one.

FYE is also having a small rebate on the DVDs for the money saver people. You get the DVD for only $27.99 after the rebate, a very nice money save.

That's an insane amount of options on Snow White. And they all come with a Blu-ray except one. Pretty clever Disney.


The Office exclusives seem to be in keeping with previous ones. Target usually gets unique packaging and a bonus disc. Best Buy gets a big boxset with lots of goodies. Too bad Crcuit City is gone. I think last year they had a stapler in Jello keychain.
