At least in North America, the much maligned unaltered dvd versions were released on September 12, 2006 meaning it was 10 years to the day you could buy Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi on dvd without the digital alterations made in 1997 and 2004.
While out of print since 2011, it’s still the best and most convenient home video way to watch the original versions since 1.) vhs sucks 2.) widescreen vhs was not that common 3.) laserdisc players were/are never common and still go for a decent price 4.) you don’t have to flip/swap discs in the middle of the movie.

But I haven’t seen a complete listing of all the store exclusives you could get. Best Buy had a tin, Wal-Mart had the comic book. Circuit city had something I think.

So what other store exclusives were there and were there any other promotional posters or materials to promote this release?
