    I will buy New Moon but I am most looking forward to being able to see the extended movie scenes and the deleted scenes.

    I am SOOO hoping that the last 3 chapters of the book NM (Flight, Truth, Vote) will be shown in the special features, because we were shorted changed in the movie. 10 minutes at the end amost an after thought.

      I don’t think they are sold out, I think they just took the pre-order option away. According to the press release from Summit NM isn’t supposed to be available for pre-order until the 26th of January.
