Twilight DVD- Available for pre-order at Amazon, Hot Topic, or Borders? Or all three?

Posted on 29. Jan, 2009 by in News

The Good News: You can preorder the Twilight DVD (release date is March 21, 2009). Most of you (us) probably already have.
The Bad News:  Which “special edition” or “exclusive” one should you buy? Or do you buy all them?Are they really that different?

You can pre order the Twilight DVD at Amazon here, at Hot Topic here, and at Borders here. Now- let’s compare and discuss! Which one are you going to buy?  Or are you getting all three?  Will they be prepared for the demand?  What if you wait to get it in the stores- will they be sold out?

Hot Topic

You can pre-order Special Edition Twilight DVD at Hottopic.com here for $24.99. Hot Topic is including an exclusive Edward movie cell with every DVD.  According to Hottopic.com, this is what makes their DVD a must-have:

Hot Topic is offering an exclusive and highly collectible Edward Cullen film cell with every copy of the 2-disc special edition Twilight DVD, all for $24.99. This is a real film cell created directly from the movie. There are 250 different images available, each individually numbered and suitable for framing. Receive one of these exclusive Edward movie cells in each DVD, only at Hot Topic! So what are you waiting for? Pre-order your copy now!*

Here’s a picture of the Edward Movie Cell that comes with the Hot Topic Twilight DVD.

Amazon

 You can pre-order the “Two-Disc Special Edition” Twilight DVD at Amazon here.  Here’s the picture Amazon has for the DVD.  Hmmm, it looks just like the one available at Hot Topic.  Is there anything that makes it special?  Well, it is the cheapest price of the three at $22.99.

Borders

Last, but not least, especially if you go by the word count for the description, you can preorder the Borders Exclusive Edition Twilight DVD here for $29.99.  But is this really a Borders exclusive?  After so many of you reported seeing the “Borders Exclusive Twilight Perfume” at Hot Topic, at Torrid, at Suncoast and at F.Y.E, we have to ask.  What makes this DVD Exclusive?  Here’s the picture Borders has on their web site.  It certainly looks different than the other two.

According to Borders.com, their exclusive Twilight DVD comes with these additional features:

Special Bonus Disc, Which Includes:
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Robert Pattinson (Edward)
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Cam Gigandet (James)

As Edward would caution all of us, to be safe, we think we’d better order all three :)   What are you going to do?

    No way. I would be wary of purchasing any until you know exactly what you want. You may get exactly the same thing (except for the cells). I would wait until it gets closer so you are sure about the extras. Why do you need 3 copies of Twilight anyway? Aren’t we in an economic crisis:)

    Yeah, like I can aford to buy all three!

    I think I’ll just wait for those with all the money to buy them and then report back on what the different editions really include. I’ll be able to make an educated decision then on which one to buy.

    I remember this happening with the soundtracks. I heard about a lot of annoyed people with all the different versions out there.

    Sorry to sound bitter, but I think we Twilight fans are being taken advantage of a little…..

    And, yes, I am a fan–but one who has to live on a budget.

    My husband would throttle me if I spent $30 on a DVD, so I’ll probably go with good ole, cheap Amazon. I live on Okinawa, in Japan, so shipping is a factor, and Amazon has proven to be pretty timely.

    The only thing that the Boarders DVD has which the others don’t is the *first* paragraph which talks about the cast interviews et al. The way I see it is, I’m pretty sure we’ve all seen these interviews before, and if not, they say basically the same thing in all of them anyway.

    Everything from the Audio Commentary onwards is on the other DVDs as well.

    I’m going to buy from Amazon.ca.

    I just pre-ordered mine at Hot Topic. Honestly I didn’t know about how the three places were all offering maybe something different at the time but I think the only differences we’ll find in the movie itself is the film cell or pictures. I know at Hot Topic the guy at the store that if you pre order then for all of those people they are opening an hour early to get their movie and there is a little party where there will also be a bunch of giveaways and the guy said that it is rumored that people that show up at the party to get their movie will also be getting a free poster and some of the prizes to be given away are autographed posters and full size stand ups and so on. You also get a little card that is nice enough to keep and that it what you present to get your movie.
