I really dislike when stores have inconsistent packaging. BB had the steelbook for ASM so they should have one for ASM2. Oh well. The BB version comes with a comic book, I believe, and I think it also includes the 3D version of the film. Not sure. But yes, the Target edition does come with a bonus disc which is exactly the way they had ASM packaged. At least Target is consistent here.
The only thing I'm slightly worried about and it's a small one is the PQ and AQ on the Blu-ray. The release date is 8/19 which is about a month earlier than what it would normally be based on a May 2nd release date for the film. My guess is they're tying to get a jump on DVD/BR sales to compensate for the money they didn't make in theaters. I dunno. But because the BR is coming out earlier it may have an affect on the quality of the transfer. I think I'm gonna hold off on getting a copy until I see some reviews. Cause if the transfer isn't good enough, I'll just wait for the 4K version that will probably be released a couple of months later. I'm kind of a videophile-nerd. PQ is very important to me. But, like I said it's a minor concern. Sony is typically rock solid on their transfers and is easily one of the best in that regard--maybe only Pixar can top them.
The special features are the same on all the Blu-rays. Doesn't matter if it's the Target or BB or one you pick up from Barnes and Noble or Walmart. I wonder if that comic in the BB edition is gonna be good?
Dude, you gotta get on that. Blu-ray is where it's at--the picture, colors, the sound. Ahhh, glorious. You can get a very decent one for about $70 US. I've got a pretty kick-ass set up at home and I don't know what I would do without it. Honestly the display I have, especially the picture on my set looks better than the theater. Not saying you have to go all out but the difference between BR and DVD is immense.
