Iron Man comes out on DVD today (I already got my copy) and I’m sure it’s going to be a big hit… all 8+ versions of it that you can grab. This is getting a little out of hand.
It seems that the studio cuts special deals with a ton of retail stores to give them each “EXCLUSIVE” versions of the DVDs to sell to their customers. My friend Brad over at RopeofSilicon put together just a short summary for you:
1. Circuit City – Access to exclusive Marvel Digital Comics featuring the artwork of Adi Granov.
2. Best Buy – Custom Lithograph created by Marvel artist Gerald Parel.
3. Target – Target Deluxe Edition includes exclusive Mark III mask packaging. Available on both the Ultimate 2-Disc Edition and 2-Disc Blu-ray.
4. Costco – Giftset includes the Ultimate 2 Disc Edition DVD and 3 Iron Man Bobbleheads, with all 3 Iron Man suits from the film. Giftset includes the “Battle Damaged Mark II”, available exclusively in this giftset at Costco.
5. Walmart – Two exclusive SKUs. Ultimate 2 Disc Edition packed with an exclusive comic book chronicling the Nick Fury story. The single disc giftset is packed with the 1st episode of the new Iron Man animated series.
6. Kmart & Sears – Save $5 on the Ultimate 2 Disc edition with any $25 Craftsman purchase.
7. Trans World – FYE and Suncoast Exclusive Steelbook Package available on the Ultimate 2- disc Edition. (pictured above, left)

So if you’re a HUGE Iron Man Fan and want to collect all the various editions of the DVD… I hope you’ve got $300 in your pocket you weren’t planning on using on strippers later. Oh who are we kidding… we both know you were planning on using it on strippers. Have fun.
