June 6 G.I. Joe Renegade Season 1 Part 1 came out on DVD.

I picked up my copy for $14.97 at Walmart.

On the cover of the DVD was a $5 off movie coupon for G.I. Joe Retaliation.  I started laughing in the aisle when I saw that.  Not only was the sticker still attached, but you only get $5 off the movie ticket.  The expiration date for the coupon is July 23rd.  I haven't tried redeeming the code yet, but I wonder if the expiration date will be pushed back til April 2013?

I'm sure they will have new stickers for March

[Scramble]

It's redeemable in March, thankfully.

Generals Joes said it's going to be valid March through April according to a report i saw...

I just read on another board that this DVD/Blu-ray isn't suppose to be released in the states until September?

Agreed. It's a total money grab. I refuse on princple to buy anything split that way unless it's an insane number of episodes like some of the old cartoon series with 50+ episodes per season.
At least the blu ray is going to be all in one.

Ah, I see said the blind man!

I was always under the impression they did it to keep the price point low to attract casual fans and parents.

[darth cujo]

Well, it’s both. It keeps the price point of the individual item lower than a full season, so mom or dad can buy a $20 item instead of a $30 item, but when you add the parts up the total is way more than what it would be if they sold them all as a single season. It also makes the higher price point of a big box set more attractive in comparison to all those parts. Ultimately it's a marketing tool to make more money.
