发帖数: 60932 | 1 X-Men: First Class was released in theaters on June 3rd, 2011, earning over
$146 million dollars domestically and over $352 million worldwide, the 12th
highest grossing movie (so far) in 2011. Matthew Vaughn, director of the
comic book movie Kick-Ass, creates a prequel to the previous four X-Men
films, while it also could be considered a reboot of the whole X-Men movie
franchise after the previous movies X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins:
Wolverine. However, it still tries to retain continuity with the other X-
Men films.
Featuring at least two cool cameos of characters and the actors who played
them from previous films, (the first cameo in particular is pretty funny),
it was well received critically, especially for its chemistry between
Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, otherwise known as Magneto. The film
develops these two characters and defines them over the course of the their
character arcs. Taking place in the 1960s, this movie teaches us how mutants
tried to play a role in solving the Cuban Missle Crisis. Who would have
guessed that?
Packed with all of this and more, the movie is being released on DVD and Blu
-Ray this Friday, September 9th, 2011. Here are all the details:

DVD Editions:
There are three editions:
1.) A Single-Disc Edition DVD, available in Widescreen only
2.) A Two-Disc Blu-ray set + Digital Copy
3.) A Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack (incl. digital copy for download),
which is a Target exclusive see the Exclusives section further down in this
thread for more details.
A JPEG of each cover is below. It does appear that there might be two or
even three different covers for each DVD and Blu-Ray, as each website has
different covers for the disc on it. It seems like there might be a choice
between a Xavier/good guys and a Magneto/bad guys cover as well as a cover
integrating both elements fused into one Xavier/Magneto full cover. Its hard
to tell this info based on a retailer website, so we wont know until the
movie is released as to what covers are available. Therefore, I included
what cover art I could find.

Best Prices:
I did a price comparison on both the internet and this weeks circulars with
Amazon.com, Best Buy, Bestbuy.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Buy.com, Costco.com (
no listings for some reason), DeepDiscountDVD.com, Frys.com, FYE, FYE.com,
Kmart.com/Sears.com (no listings I could find), Overstock.com, Target,
Target.com, Toys R Us, ToysRUs.com (no listings for either) and Wal-mart.com
. Unless otherwise noted or known by me, the prices are the same in store
and online at their respective websites. I noted shipping in the price
rankings because of the competition between stores, but I will only be
comparing base prices of the movie, unless shipping costs cannot be avoided,
like on Sears.com, where its $2.99 for EVERY movie order. Otherwise, I will
not factor shipping costs into the price rankings as a result.
Please note that with these price rankings, these prices are as current as I
am aware of. Wal-mart's in-store prices don't always match its website
prices, for example. As a result, these prices are as accurate as I can
verify from the internet and flyers from the newspaper, I don't put prices
in the rankings that I cannot verify. For example, Costco & Toys R Us will
presumably sell this movie, but there are no listings for it online nor in
this weeks circular, so there is no price to rank. I also know from
experience that FYE's B&M store prices are the same as those on their
website, so I made one listing for both. In other words, these stores
reserve the right to change their prices and I might not know about it.
That's where the SD community can help each other out and if new or
different prices are verified, I will edit my post accordingly.
Here are the conclusions:
