If I get the BR at Target, does it come with the book?

Looks like it:

Those wanting a new lease on life for their DVD collections should look into Toshiba's new XD-E 500 upconverting player which is getting rave reviews for it's ability to make DVD's look nearly as good as Blu-Ray. I plan to pick up one and try it out in the near future.

I have read some reviews on this from AV sites and they state that it's not even close to blu ray like toshiba promises. They state that it's a good upconvert for the price but that there are better ones out there.

But hey if it is great let me know. Even though I have a Blu ray player, I still have tons of DVDs I don't ever plan on upgrading to Blu.

Got the KOTCS BR Exclusive at Target. The only gripe is that the case for it is the size of a standard DVD case. That may shy some purchasers away, but considering that the regular BR edition didn't come with any sort of special case or packaging, I went with the Target one (for $3 less, as well :)).

Got my best buy exclusive today. I love the crystal skull it comes with. For those of you wondering, it's not actually attached to the base. It's balancing on a peg, but it feels pretty stable. But since it can be removed and looks to be about 1/4 scale, it will go great with your Indy PFs when they get here. I couldn't find the gift card at first. It was kinda hidden underneath the bubble, but I saw it eventually. This brings me up to $100 so far that I have ready for spooktacular. I'll have even more when my readiness kit gets here.
 
Just can't justify a purchase on this one. I am getting it from netflix in BR tomorrow though :D
 
Am I crazy for buying this? It was truly a dissapointment, but it did have its moments. It could have been ALOT better, but I am still a hardcore Indy fan, and the original RAIDERS is my favorite movie of all time. I picked up the Target BD to complete the collection, and for the special features, even though I KNOW a special edition BD collection is inevitable. Am I going insane?

Or will my contribution to buying this show Lucas/Spielberg that there is a market for Indy on blu?

That is truly bad ass. :rock

Now I need to hurry up and finish work so I can go pick mine up. :banana

This guy at HTF seemed said it was the best upconverter he's had and that it's a great player. Some of the "professional" reviews seem to be too analytical sometimes for my taste. I'm just looking for a little more sharpness to be honest. My Sony upconverter does an excellent job as is. From 10 or 12 feet away, images look like Blu-Ray on my Panny plasma.

I'll try the player out. If I don't feel it's that big an improvement, I will likely just wait for the next model or for a Blu-Ray player around $150.

But Indy! I picked up the Best Buy giftset as well as the FYE steelbook. Both of which are very cool. The Target exclusive set looks very nice as well.
 
I went to Best Buy almost right at 10 am, and they were already almost gone! :horror

Only $25 this time around, but still I am sure I will find something. And yes, the skull will be great with the PF. Still only like the first half of the film though. :monkey3
 
Whats the measurement of the skull from front to back? Looks pretty nice though...I bought the light up keychain skulls...but they are not here yet so I am wondering if they are close in size...think I am gonna go pick me up the Best Buy gift set in a couple minutes...gonna use my $3 coupon from papa john's....
