Sounds like some good extras. Might make up for some of the movie's shortcomings-at least for some fans. Don't know abut my disillusioned 12 yo

The Lightning Thief arrives on Blu-ray Disc and DVD June 22 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Based on the popular book series by Rick Riordan, the film follows trouble-prone Percy Jackson who finds himself having problems in high school… but that’s the least of his challenges. It’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus have walked out of the pages of his Greek mythology texts and into his life, and they’re not happy – Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Learning he is the son of Poseidon, the young teen finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, and embarks on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves. … Continues, with description of extras, after the jump . . . Directed by Chris Columbus (first two Harry Potter films), Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief stars rising star Logan Lerman (“Jack & Bobby”), and features an ensemble cast including Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds), Steve Coogan (Night At The Museum films), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill films), Pierce Brosnan (The Thomas Crown Affair, James Bond films), Catherine Keener (Where The Wild Things Are), and Kevin McKidd (“Grey’s Anatomy”). The Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief Blu-ray includes over an hour of special features, 10 deleted scenes, a “Secrets of the Gods” featurette, an “On Set” with Brandon T. Jackson, and much more. The standard DVD includes five deleted scenes, “Bringing The Book To Life” featurette and a “Discover Your Powers” quiz.

We have an exclusive first look at an extended scene from 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief' featuring Pierce Brosnan and Logan Lerman! The DVD and Blu-ray bolts down to Earth on June 29. In the world of Percy Jackson (Lerman), mythical ancient Greek gods and goddesses are real. Zeus (Sean Bean), the king of the gods, accuses Percy of stealing his master lightning bolt, and the 17-year-old high school student must set out on a quest to find the real thief -- and save his mother (Catherine Keener) from the evil hands of the lord of the underworld, Hades. After an unexpected attack on a field trip, Percy learns that he is the son of Poseidon (Kevin McKidd) -- and on Zeus' bad list. Luckily, he's surrounded by allies -- his Latin teacher (Brosnan) is actually a centaur and his buddy Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) is a satyr -- who take him to Camp Half-Blood, a training ground for demigods. Based on the book series by Rick Riordan, 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief' also stars Uma Thurman as Medusa, Rosario Dawson as Persephone, Melina Kanakaredes as Athena and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth, the daughter of Athena.

If they hid it in Budapest in, say, some random actor's pocket, I might be interested LOL.
Cool contest though, thanks for the post, Leanne.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – School's out, so it's no surprise that "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" scored a triple win atop all three national home video charts the week ending July 4. The film, which grossed $89 million in North American theaters, is based on a popular series of fantasy adventure books by Rick Riordan rooted in Greek mythology. The books are on many summer reading lists, and the video came out just in time to capitalize on that surge in awareness. According to the Nielsen VideoScan DVD sales chart, "Hot Tub Time Machine" came in at No. 2, followed by fellow rookie "The Crazies." The three titles finished in the same position on Nielsen VideoScan's Blu-ray Disc sales chart. "Percy Jackson" and "Hot Tub" also went 1 and 2 on Home Media Magazine's rental chart for the week, while "Crazies" bowed at No. 5. news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100708/film_nm/us_video
