New Moon DVD - confused?! Join the club!

Doesn't it seem like it was just 5 minutes ago that we were all making plans for the 9pm Twilight viewing and then a scream-filled midnight viewing of New Moon?! But then there were all the questions; 
  • go to the 9pm showing of Twilight to ensure a seat for New Moon or wait in line with all the other uber fans for the midnight viewing of New Moon and risk getting a bad seat? (my answer was go to 9pm Twilight followed by 12:01 am New Moon - best decision by far)
  • where do I preorder my tickets? which outlet is going to give me something free? (my answer was www.movietickets.com for the AMC theater in Burbank - got a free Anya Marina "Satellite Heart" download)
  • skip the midnight show altogether and go Saturday morning instead? (my answer - no way Josie! this gal wouldn't skip a midnight release for anything!)
  • how many times can I see it before it goes away from the theater (my answer is 4...bummed that I didn't see it at least 5 times)
The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD official release Saturday, 3/20/10

What? a Saturday Release? Yep...the smart folks over at Summit decided to release on a Saturday (which is NOT at all common) because they know their audience...this way, retail outlets can have midnight release parties - resulting in a win/win/win for retailers, customers and Summit.

Thought the questions were over with the release of the DVD?! Guess again...that's right, just like with the release of Twilight (after it's surprising success in the box office) there are multiple versions - some offering more than others, some with different covers and of course...all at different prices. Which one should you buy? Well, maybe this little breakdown will help you decide...

Barnes & Noble - 4 Versions

(Note - I purchased Twilight from B&N last year and scheduled for in-store pick-up. Because the DVDs ship early, my store received it 2 days early and since it was plain-wrapped, the store thought it was a book so I got the DVD 1 day before everyone else. Will it work again? Dunno...)

Details:


This Ultimate Fan Edition with collectible Lenticular Packaging includes a 7-minute sneak peek of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" which begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film in the franchise. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer are integrated with revealing, on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first-look at "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" then concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the film between Bella and Edward that will surely have "Twilight" fans swooning.


"Twilight Saga: New Moon" - Bella Swan is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested. "Twilight In Forks" - The definitive DVD documenting the town of Forks made famous by the "Twilight" books and movies. Since the "Twilight" movies weren't filmed in the real Forks, this is your opportunity to see the town that Stephenie Meyer based her epic teen romance books on. Are there truly vampires and werewolves there? Hear from the real people living their lives in the town fans know and love, including the Chief of Police, the Forks Outfitters' employee who gets mistaken for Bella, and the vampire transplant who plays the real-life role of Alice. Visit Forks High School, hear self-described Jacob's grandfather tell the legend of how the Quileutes descended from wolves, and see many more of the people and places that make Forks and La Push the perfect setting for the "Twilight Saga".

Overwhelmed yet?! I know I am!! From the looks of things...I will most likely purchase from Target this time around - BluRay 2 Disc Deluxe Edition + Film Cell. So far, no one else is touting that they have the Exclusive Eclipse sneak-peek but knowing Summit, they'll add it to all versions. Will I pre-order/purchase? No...I'll grab a version when it comes out.
 
Midnight Release party info? There isn't any...yet. But I know they're coming...Hot Topic and Barnes & Noble are the most noteable suspects. Will I attend one? Most likely no...will I host a party (not necessarily at midnight)...maybe ;)
 
That's it for now...
 
Catch ya on the flipside!
