Furious Fanboys is reporting that the previously-announced exclusive bonus content that will be part of Target’s The Force Awakens Blu-ray release will be available in digital download format only, as opposed to being included as either part of the standard bonus content included in the set or it’s own dedicated disc.
UPDATE: Check out this tweet for more information on how the exclusive content will be available for fans to access.
When the retailer exclusives for The Force Awakens Blu-Ray were announced, many fans began to wonder what that 20 minutes of exclusive footage Target had meant. While there isn’t information on what that twenty minutes of behind the scenes footage includes, we do now know it won’t come on a disc.
That bonus footage Target is promoting for their Force Awakens pre-order is going to be digital-only and will not come on a special bonus disc as some fans had hoped. As of right now it’s not known how the footage will be distributed, whether it’s streaming on a Target site that may not be around forever or if it’ll be a digital download. But the fact remains it’s a digital only offering, and those wanting a special disc with their Blu-Ray may consider changing their pre-order.
With that known, the only real difference between the different retailer exclusives is the packaging. Aside from the awesome steelbook at Best Buy, Target does have one of the cooler boxes for The Force Awakens Blu-Ray. Walmart also has an exclusive package, while the Disney Store is offering a BB-8 lithograph with their pre-order.
