Earlier this month we got to see the official artwork for the Twilight movie DVD that is scheduled for release on March 21 (and can be pre-ordered from Amazon HERE). BUT, this week Borders Bookshop announced that it will sell an exclusive 2-disc version of the DVD that comes bundled with a whole bunch of extra goodies to satisfy even the most rabid Twilighter out there:
About the DVD:

Exclusive Photocards
10 exclusive photocards are printed on a gorgeous pearlescent paper to give a dramatic sparkly effect—the perfect way to view your favorite vampires
Oh man, pearlescent paper that SPARKLES you say? Shouldn’t it be more of a DAZZLING effect? Pshaw, whatever. No matter what effect the fancy photocards have, it really sounds like this version of the DVD has a bunch of really great bonus extras. I’m fairly certain that any Twilighter worth their salt will opt for this version over the standard, regular version … tho, the true fan will prolly end up buying both. How many of y’all have already placed your pre-orders?

OY! I want this edition but it’s probably going to cost at least $30 bucks if not more. I want the DVD now. : ( Can you preoder the borders one yet?
man, this one looks so much better .. the cover artwork for the standard one is awful imo .. i hope they’ll sell this version in asia :( in indonesia to be more specificccc .. we dont get much here .. *sobs*
its about 30 bucks, but i’m in Ausralia so I have to pay postage plus the converted amount. WAHHH! at least I can preorder *Satisfied-ish smile*
Sorry, but that many items in a box set being ONLY $30.00?!

Think… $80.00 to $130.00! Don’t forget the mantra – AS MUCH MONEY AS WE CAN MAKE! Example – Lord of the Rings trilogy came out as separate DVD’s, then extended disks, extended BOXED SETS & finally a “Platinum Series of ALL 3 movies ($200.00 [Canadian dollars] each).
-
I’m not sure the the States have the same in-store promotions like here in Canada… 1st day or so (depending on the store, some have the 1st week) a new DVD is out, it’s a “special” REDUCED price, like 20-30% off; if the papers offer a coupon, an additional 10-20%off. But only for a short time.

I got my “Platinum set of LotR’s at a bargain price – The store had a ONE DAY PROMOTION that saw 60% off the retail price mentioned above… That & in-store credit for previously returned items I hadn’t wanted (Xmas gifts) from the store I’d received some time earlier – I wasn’t even a fan, but owning that set made me a fan for $80.00!
I WANT THIS!
It is sick that I want to cancel my Amazn pre-order and get the Borders one. I need help! :)
@Melissa — not at all! I say cancel Amazon and get the Borders one if you want the 2-disc DVD. honestly, the special edition disc has so much more material … it just makes sense and there’s still time to make up your mind to cancel the Amazon pre-order.
I already pre-ordered on Amazon, and I’m getting this one as well…I need therapy. :)
I wish they would remake this movie with all the same actors/locations EXACTLY how I see the book in my head!
I WANT THIS.
any price. [;
ps rossy,
it really is only $30.
good try though.
This looks sweet, but I want to have it on blu-ray and I cant justify having 2 copies for the sparkly cards. :(
I would like to have the interviews though.
I can’t wait to see Twilight. I started reading the books after the movie came out and everyone was talking about how good they are and I’m hooked! They’re such a guilty pleasure. Now I have to wait until MARCH to see the movie! Ah well.
Enjoyed the books, wasn’t so pleased with the movie. If I buy it, it will be previewed at Hastings.
SO glad I didn’t pre-order from Amazon yet. Definitely picking this up…
I did check and the pre-order price is $29.99 plus shipping. Not bad!
you can cancel your amazon order and preorder from Borders, I just did – its only a few dollars more and free shipping in the US.
I did and I can’t wait to get it!
The movie was terrible. I loved the books but would never pay to own terrible acting and a destroyed story!!!
I have to admit I’m buying the $70.00 version from Amazon. The Blu ray edition that comes in a lunch box.. and has other stuff in it. Actually, it was on amazon yesterday and I pre ordered it and then it was quickly removed from amazon..
LAWL @ one of the special features being a trailer for Penelope! WTF?!?!?!
A trailer for a movie that came out over a year ago, that no one even liked? Seriously? They’re still trying to recoup costs on that one, it would seem.
wow.. summit and Smeyers are making TONS of $$ on all this twi-merch!!!!!!
i just want the version of the DVD where i can stare at rob the most… which one is that?
