I don't have the Wal-Mart one yet, but I actually was leaning towards 1, so let me know and I'll get 3 and maybe we can exchange passes.

You mean the Best Buy one? What comes with the Wal-Mart one?

 

[Kuzeh]

Exactly!!! Sorry, I'm still a bit confused by all the extras...
Yep, the Best Buy, the Wal-Mart comes with extra featurettes

• The Unfinished Rehearsals reveals two show-stopping concepts that never got shown on the big screen.
• Meet the Dancers interviews each of the 11 dancers that were chosen from over 5,000 applicants.
• Meet the Band goes behind the scene with the band members that were chosen to perform alongside Michael Jackson.
• Meet the Vocalists goes behind the scene with the vocalists that were chosen to sing alongside Michael Jackson.

It seems as though these features are only on the DVD at Wal-Mart, not the Blu-ray.

Really?...
Damn... then I have no clue what I'm talking about...

I love how they are packaging this so people will buy extra copies.

yeah, well the special features for the Wal-Mart version aren't as interesting as the other store exclusive features...all due respect to the dancers and the singers but we want to see more footage of the late MJ. I very much enjoyed the 'Dancing Machine' extra on the Best Buy Exclusive, it also included the Digital Copy.

Still on the fence on this one. Went to BestBuy today and they had the Blu-ray for $29.99 and the regular DVD for $20. I love the music and It's cool to see MJ, but $30 seems a little high for me.

 

[Kuzeh]

Buy it from Amazon, it's cheaper!

Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ Dances Away With Sales


This Is It

Michael Jackson fever continues to rage nearly eight months after the king of pop’s death. This Is It, the concert film about the comeback tour that never happened, shot to No. 1 on the national home video sales charts its first week in stores, selling through to consumers an estimated 1.2 million copies according to Home Media Magazine market research.

That’s believed to be a record for first-week sales of a music film.

The Sony Pictures Home Entertainment release also was the No. 1 Blu-ray Disc seller for the week ended Jan. 31, according to Nielsen VideoScan research. Of the film’s total disc sales, 21% were on Blu-ray Disc.

This Is It was released simultaneously in Japan and, according to Sony, beat expectations there as well. Sony Pictures mounted a huge publicity campaign in support of the release, including a YouTube video of Filipino prisoners dancing to two Jackson tunes from the film that generated more than 3 million hits. The clip included a card at the end promoting the DVD/Blu-ray Disc release of the film.


Several other new releases also debuted high on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart for the week, including Walt Disney Studios’ Surrogates at No. 2, Lionsgate’s Saw VI at No. 3 and 20th Century Fox’s Whip It at No. 5, right behind holdover The Hangover, from Warner.

Meanwhile, on Home Media Magazine’s video rental chart for the week, Surrogates debuted at No. 1 and Whip It bowed at No. 2. Lionsgate’s Gamer, the top renter the previous week, slipped to No. 3, while Summit Entertainment’s The Hurt Locker finished fourth — a standing that will likely rise with the film’s recent best picture Oscar nomination.

This Is It debuted at No. 5 on the rental chart, and Saw VI bowed at No. 6.

No shocker here, This Is It is the best concert doc ever!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Monster]

Anyone know where I can get a digital version of "This is It" for on my PC? I bought 4 of the Blu-rays, One from Michael Jackson's Official Website with the poster, and the set of 3 from best buy with the 3D Backstage Passes. I should NOT have to buy it again just to have it on my PC.

There is NO WAY that anything U2 could be better than Michael Jackson. NOT A CHANCE!

 

[IrishJedi]

It certainly can be if you have a sack.

Besides, what does that have to do with it being a better-made documentary anyway?
