Exclusive bonus DVD's - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I held off on Field of Dreams mostly because I wasn't sure if it was a decent blind buy. When I read the thread yesterday about how the Wal-Mart bonus disc makes it worth every penny, I decided to pick it up. Before reading that, though, I had no idea Wal-Mart had an exclusive bonus DVD for Field of Dreams. Other than that and, say, the Best Buy bonus disc for the Indiana Jones box set, what other exclusive bonus discs are out there, and how do you guys find out about them? I mean, what if Circuit City is giving away a bonus disc with next weeks Bad Santa?

Usually I find out if a DVD has a bonus disk frome poking aroud the software forum or from the store add transcript in the bargin area. Keep in mind that bonus discs are usually metioned in your local store adds also. As for bonus discs I remeber I have Indys, Matrix Revolutions, Minority Report(CD-Rom).

The "John Waters Collection"-set includes the bonus disc previously only available (and only for US Americans) via coupon.

At Best Buy, each season of "Star Trek" (TNG, DS9, or VOY) comes with a bonus disc with extra "making-of" type stuff. Usually, it's stuff that should be on the actual release, which sucks for people who don't get them.

At Best Buy, South Park season 2 came with the original uncut pilot episode (slightly longer than the televised "cartman gets an anal probe")...
I thought that was pretty cool.

Best Buy gave out a bonus DVD of the program Bond Girls Are Forever when you purchased Die Another Day last summer.

There were Best Buy bonus discs for...

Eurotrip
The Time Machine

Looney Toons: Back In Action was not a CD-Rom. It was a mini DVD.

Strangely enough, I went to Best Buy this past week and picked up the new Xena: Season 4 specifically because BB had included bonus content in the past, however, I don't think there is anything exclusive in S4 - maybe I'm overlooking something?

Paycheck at Best Buy.

Bend it Like Beckham come with a bonus music CD single. I think that was from Circuit City only...

Wal-Mart had an exclusive Christmas CD with Shrek when it came out. Only time I went out of my way to buy something there.
Cat In The Hat at Best Buy came with a bonus disc with the Smash Mouth music video, then audio tracks of 3 versions of the song playing on a black screen (wow) and an ad for a video game. Can't you just feel the excitement there.
Almost Famous at Circus City had a 3-song CD with it.
