There’s so many exclusives for Dark Knight on DVD & Blu Ray that I’m getting confused. Below is a list of the exclusives and the prices from the major retailers. Thanks to Speedy from cheapassgamer.com for the early prices. The prices are for the exclusives, not the regular DVD set.
Best Buy:
They have the most exclusives, including figures and masks and joker trading cards. The Joker figure looks pretty cool but probably not worth the $10 price tag. The masks are crap.

DVD: Dark Knight 1 Disc comes with free Joker cards – $14.99
DVD: Dark Knight 2 Disc Gift Set with Mask(choose from Batman or Bank Robber Joker) – $34.99
Blu Ray: 2 Disc set with free Joker cards – $24.99
Blu Ray: 2 Disc Gift Set with Mask (choose from Batman or Bank Robber Joker) – $39.99
Batman and Joker figures from DC Direct are also available for $9.99
Circuit City:
A Joker slipcover for the 2 disc set and comes with a Joker Journal (can’t find a picture of it). Pretty cool cover.
DVD: $24.99
Blu-Ray: Nada
FYE:
Steelbook for the 2 disk DVD set. Steelbooks are the new craze right now but to me, who cares….
DVD: $25.49
Blu Ray: Zilch
Sorry for the big ass pic, it’s the only one on their site. You can’t really tell it’s a steelbook.
Futureshop:
This one is only available to our friends up north, Canada. After seeing this steelbook, I definitely want it. Now I get what the fuss is all about. I love the Joker in the back cover. I would definitely get this if it was available here. But I’m not going to spend $40 to have it shipped and wait a couple of days after the release date to get it.
DVD: None
Blu-Ray: $29.99 (Canadian)
Target:
Extra features and Batman Mask
DVD: $22.99
Blu Ray: $29.99
Wal-Mart:
Comes with a Two-Face Coin. The coin looks pretty cool but it’s only for the DVD. Besides, what am I going to do with a Two Face coin?
DVD: $19.96
Blu Ray: No exclusive
I’ll get the regular blu ray without the bells and whistles at Best Buy. Going to go Monday at midnight. $25 for a movie is already expensive enough and I can live without the exclusives. Which one are you getting ?

25 seems to be the bedrock for in-store deals on the BD. If Best Buy has it for 25, and throws in a few collectible cards, why not? BTW, if the steelbook is anything like my WB Departed steelbook it will also have steelbook-sized replicas of all the character posters inside. Probably the 2-face ones also. The “talk-to-my-trinket” posters. Steelbook if in CA. BB if in USA.

Also don’t forget that all the BDs have a 2-sided slipcover on them like Transformers, with the Joker on the front and I kind of forgot the other one probably batman doing something maybe vandalising a skyscraper

I find it hillarious that a christian-based company like WalMart is offering a TwoFace coin as their bonus. I guess they want their shoppers to make their decisions via 50/50 coin tosses. Let alone the fact that the coin is used to decide whether or not people get killed.

I want Heath Ledger pills with my DK special edition. Pretty please, WalMart?
