It's only $5 more from Amazon to get the HD DVD version but I don't have a player or an HDTV yet. I really don't want to but two copies...

Two-disc special edition, most likely.

Of course it will also depend on retailer incentives where I buy the movie.

I teetered between 2 disk and 2disk HD... since I could get an HD DVD player for $150 (360'd) but I decided to go with just the 2 disk since HD DVDs are still so expensive.

so uh, i'm guessing that there should only be two choices here
two disk
two disk HD
if i had an hd player and television i'd go HD (god imagine how sweet all that robot goodness will be, i'm sure circuit city will have it on display for a while so i think i'm at least going to make a trip to circiuit city if for no other reason than to see prime rip BC's head off in hd), but seeing as how thats a no go, i'm going with the standard dvd 2 disk edition. just can't wait man.

If there's a RiffTrax commentary for it, then I will rent the movie. Otherwise, I think seeing the movie twice in the theater is enough for me.

And, as long as we're talking about the DVD...it appears that "Devastator" has survived to home video:

Voted 2 disk set. Now, to choose between the Target or Best Buy set, that is what's going to drive me nuts. I luvers me the tiny Cliffjumper and battle damaged Prime figures... but the transforming DVD case is quite unique.

I'm hoping that this next sentence I type is correct and that the fandom will all sigh a collective easy breath. *Ahem* That could very well be an "international" bootleg copy the guy was watching and the REAL DVD set did fix the mistake. But, that's only a guess on my behalf...

Target 2-Disc Edition.
I want the transforming case.
I was going to get the Wal-Mart one, until I found out that it's not the two-disc version that has the animated version of the prequel comic, but the single disc version with another disc that has JUST that content on it. I need my extras.

LINKI guess I'm going with the Best Buy 2 disc set for $22.99. I don't see the point of paying $7 more for two little figures that I don't want... or maybe I'll order it from Amazon and not have to pay shipping or tax

jmo, devastator fits the character better. not only where the army special forces continually pounding him with sabot rounds, but he stood through both ratchet and ironhide's innitial attacks as well as many of BB's.
if i just spoiled something for you than for shame, you should have seen this movie in theaters because trust me, wow that theater sound system and huge Powerglideing screen add so much to this flick. theres alot of parts that seem almost silent and it's because the tv lacks the ability to reproduce the frequencies being put out.

I'm gonna pick up 3 of the Target Exclusive Transforming cases. Then I'll probably buy one of the 2-disc editions from Best Buy. I'd go to Circuit City but they don't have an exclusive, only hats that they're giving away to the first 20 customers. I have 3 of the Target exclusives on hold, my friend that works there kindly put away some for me today...he told me they should be getting plenty at their store (Eagle Rock, CA)

I guess it's part of the theater experience...there's plenty of non-fans who might have thought "hey Devastator was awesome...wait, who the hell is Brawl?"

Well, I had planned on getting mine from Best Buy. Seeing as how they didn't get thier exclusive Metallic decoed toys in today and I drove all the way there....and then found out that the exclusive I was planning on getting (two RH Toys) was 30$.....I passed.
Instead I'm getting a free copy from someone at work and my GF managed to nab one from a guy at her work who bought it for her as a congratulatory and farewell gift. She got a promotion at her second job and is now leaving her first in favor of it.

I've been working for Target for a couple months now (Backroom) ,so of course I got the 2-disk Transforming case edition. I was able to convince the head electronics guy to give me the big pop-out Transformers promo sign too. I also managed to get a huge triangular Transformers toy sign (it went on an end cap). The Autobot eyes light up and fade out. Major score !
