I'm actually surprised that they are charging $30.00 for this.

a 2 DVD set. It'll be on sale soon probably

That extra DVD is just another way 2 try and justify the price. A blu-ray disk can hold up to 28GB of data. All of this material could have fit onto a single disk.

Target is on sale for only 14.99

I tried to go to Best Buy this morning but they were still closed. Seems that it's cheaper at Target so may swing by there later instead.

It is 29.99 at Best Buy.

I think not.

Best Buy offers a bonus disc for the Blu-ray version and a collector's edition 3D VIP pass. All for a mere $29.99 this week, whereas Target does not.

That sounds more reasonable.

Not exactly.

The single Blu-ray is on sale for $24.99 at Target.
The single DVD retails for $15.99. You will receive a $5.00 gift card only when combine your purchase (the dvd or Blu-ray) with the 'This is it" CD.

Best Buy is offering more with its bonus disc of extra content for Blu-ray owners.

Identity said:

What is that bonus disc? Is that a DVD version of the film? I like Blu-Ray sets that include the movie on DVD as well.

This article should help. It includes a comparative chart by retailer of the Blu-ray and DVD "This Is It" releases:

Stop discussing the prices and let´s discuss the dvd itself. What did you guys think about it. My favourite extras are Dancing machine and Remembering Michael. I am crying watching these.

dag - One of my favorite scenes is when Michael walks out for "Shake Your Body" and he looks so confident about to dance, and you can see as he is walking up, one of the dancers is just smiling ear to ear watching him. It made my heart so happy.

As for sadness, I hate at the end of the film how it pauses when his name comes on the screen. and it says "Love lives forever" Something about that pauses forces me to remember, "He is gone and can't come back." I also get chills and teary eyed at the end of the film when the dedication to MJ's kids comes on the screen. Is there a score of this film? I love the music that plays at different points, ala the credits during the dedication to Michael's kids.

dag said:

Haven't got the DVD yet as it's not released over here for another month.

What bonus footage is there of Michael?? Any new songs?

Vanilli said:

Yeah, I feel the same about those parts.

I love the footage of Mike just dancing in the gym or what it was. It was so cool. I´d love to see more of that. I´d love to see more of Mike talking, working than the co-workers talking about him, but it´s still great.

And that ending of the show with the plane would have been magical. It´s so sad that the world didn´t get to see it all.

And those who have the blu-ray, what are those short films like?

My brother gave it to me as a surprise..

I loved everything about it.. It just makes me realize that this was going to be the concert of a lifetime..

The sad part is knowing that Michael is gone..

I received mine in the mail yesterday.I had ordered it Oct.31,2009 and payed $19.97 for it. Amazon.com

Has anyone downloaded it from itunes?

Being in Australia it's not released here til march - and knowing that it's on the itunes US store is killing me - especially with the reported "exclusives" they are touting.
