Rossy – its not “many items” or a box set. I believe the only additional features that aren’t already offered by Amazon is the first half of Trent’s list (ending with the Borders book club interview). Everything else is on the other versions, and perhaps the photos. I agree the artwork looks better. Trent – love your point about dazzling haha obvs the Borders marketing people aren’t as well versed with the books as they should be! Special features of not, $30 is a bit steep for a DVD…heres hoping someone gets it for me 13 year old sister and I can steal it haha.

Hot Topic is also releasing their own special edition of the DVD set. It’s the two disc set, and they are including a real Edward film cell from the movie. I think they are selling them for $24.99.

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.

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..

The movie was terrible. I loved the books but would never pay to own terrible acting and a destroyed story!!!

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.

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!

Enjoyed the books, wasn’t so pleased with the movie. If I buy it, it will be previewed at Hastings.

@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 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.

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 wish they would remake this movie with all the same actors/locations EXACTLY how I see the book in my head!

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!
