Well, i was raised by a penny-pinching, bargain hungry mother, so though what I'm about to say is by no means Guaranteed, there is a very good chance it is valid...
Your average cashier, is a moron. 9 times out of 10, if you can convince them something is so, they'll go along with it. And if that other 1 time happens, 50% of that time, if you bitch hard enough, they'll just make an exception in your case, because of all the trouble their unclear ad has caused.
That being said, I anticipate no problems in using this coupon on the Special Edition version, if Target has one. I don't know that they will, but they may have the Sub-Zero one for PS2, and the Mileena one for Xbox, seeing as the Mileena one seems to be the all purpose Xbox version.
But, failing that they don't have the special one, again, going back to the basic rule that your average cashier is a moron, If you did want the regular version the 1st day, there's a good chance you could use the coupon anyway, despite its not yet being active. (You'd be suprised how often this works) And should they actually notice the date, again, if you play dumb, just to please you, the customer, there's about a 50% chance they'll take it anyway.
In any event, I would advise everyone to print this coupon out, just incase. Inevitably, you may not be able to use it, but there's always a chance that you can bend the coupon's rules to suit your needs.
:D
EDIT: Oh yes, and let's not forget the miracle that is price-matching. :)
