Extra DVD bundled with movie for higher price

By Susanne Ault 9/26/2005

SEPT. 26 | Wal-Mart shoppers will be able to pick up an exclusive bonus DVD when they buy Star Wars: Episode III--Revenge of the Sith.

The disc features R2-D2’s and C-P30’s “Chronicles of Luke and Anakin Skywalker.” Overall, it includes 60 minutes of Star Wars additional content.

Revenge of the Sith and the bonus DVD will be bundled together side-by-side.

The mass merchant’s Web site is offering the bonus disc-enhanced Revenge of the Sith for $25.48. That’s higher than the regular $15.87-marked Revenge of the Sith title.

It’s unclear if prices will be the same for in-store purchases.

Revenge of the Sith, distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, streets Nov. 1.

This is the latest in a string of exclusive product extras for Wal-Mart. Fox’s Robots (out tomorrow) is paired with an exclusive bonus CD at the mass merchant. Wal-Mart also is selling a bonus Will Smith music DVD tagged to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s Hitch.

It might be our last "new" material of R2 and C-3PO for a long time... it is probably a documentary explaining how the knew both Anakin and Luke...

Which brings up the question... how does 3PO know about Anakin, he would received his mind-erase at the end of Episode III???

They probably didn't do a "secure erase" and R2 was just able to restore the missing letter of each file.

That's nice and all, but not nice enough for me to start shopping at Wal-Mart.

Best Buy needs to offer this.

George Lucas reportedly signed the deal in exchange for a huge box of horrible flannel shirts.

Mommy! I want to ride the roller coaster, but don't want to enter the park!

Not really. I can live without something that I'd probably watch all of once. I made a personal oath to never support Wal-Mart, so I have to stick to it, even if they had something I really wanted.

He's a dirty communist.

Liberal, communist, what's the difference? At least that's what my future father-in-law likes to believe.

Not trying to steer this away from a Star Wars discussion, so I'll make an attempt to bring it back on track. I wonder if this has anything to do with those little bits with R2 and 3PO that were played prior to the syndicated televsion run of the films earlier this year.

BB's closer to where I live than Wal-Mart. Nice try, though.
