I don't think you should go there tonight if you want the Blu-ray. Their system, at least at the computer I checked in store, said May for the Blu-ray release. I went to a FYE who said they won't have any Blu's. If you want it, go to Best Buy or Target.

The Blu-Ray is exclusive to Target (2-Disc Blu) and Best Buy (1-Disc Blu) for one month. I already have my 1-Disc Blu-Ray for pre-order at Best Buy in and will be picking that up tomorrow.

Going to Borders at midnight tonight to get the 2-Disc SD Exclusive they have there. Shit looks rad.

Got my wristband for the wait list earlier today. General Manager I talked to said they had enough Exclusive SD's to take care of their pre-orders and wait list customers. Might not apply to all stores depending on how many pre-orders were taken at a said store before they were given the order to stop.

Thanks to the pic of the BD you took, found out that you can check Midnight Releases in your area at www.twilightthemovie.com

It makes sense.

Though we are talking about different mediums, when I worked the midnight release for "Breaking Dawn", our store sold about 500+ books in about 40 minutes.

Keeps things easy for the customers and employees alike.

I got to my local Target this morning an hour after they opened and they still had about 30 copies in Blu and easily three times that amount in SD. Picked up a Blu of course.

Are the extra features on a separate DVD? Someone else said it was a code.

Seems like a nice set. The I-tunes downloads are codes since the second disc is a blu ray as well. Briefly watched the movie and looks like it will be pretty good. My wife made me read the books and it appears to follow the book well. Looking forward to watching it tomorrow after my wifes big party tonight.

I went to Target around 2:00 PM and they had a butt load of SD versions and about 3 BDs left.

Got one of the BDs for the wife.

Rented from Blockbuster. Not a bad movie. From some of the reviews I was expecting some MTV style cutting but it wasn't really like that.

The Super Target I visited soon after they opened this morning had the SDs & BDs in two different places: at an endcap near all the other DVDs, and at a separate Twilight-themed endcap with the books & soundtrack CD that was near their book section. I found it odd that the DVD endcap had only about 4 Blu's, but the Twilight one had plenty more.

I picked up the BD (of course). I too was surprised that it was a second Blu-ray rather than a DVD. I thought they'd cheapen out and make one DVD bonus disc for both versions. Also the digital copy (that I'll likely never use) gives you not only the movie but the special features as well (both basic & Target exclusive).

Picked up my 1-Disc Blu-Ray from Best Buy today. Lots of copies left at the one I went to, didn't need to pre-order after all

I made my wife go get her own copy at Target this morning. And after watching it just now, I'm glad I did. I can't believe I have this thing in my library. So boring and the author practically threw everything we know about vampires right out the window. Instead of turning to ash in sunlight, they just look like they got a bottle of glitter on them?!
