DVDactive has the dvd cover art http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/twilight.html
Looks good to me...I was fully expecting to hate this movie but actually enjoyed it (for the most part - a lot of idiotic directorial decisions nearly ruined it though) and I'm sure the blu-ray will have quite a few features, so I'll pick it up.

It really plays best if you've read the book, I think. I thought it was better that way, anyhow. Like any other book/movie adaptation there's a ton of stuff they had to condense, change, or just leave out.

It is now a Best Buy/Target exclusive for a 2 month period.

Why in the world would they do that? Fans of the film (I haven't seen it and don't really intend to) will "just buy the DVD" rather than getting the BD if they don't live near a BB or Target. IMO, this is a big release for BD (as there are countless fans of the books/film) and it's essentially getting stalled for two months on the High-Def format. Am I missing something?

I'm sure it can be ordered from bestbuy.com for those who live in the middle of nowhere.

I would imagine that Summit figures they'd make more money on the exclusivity payment from Target/BB than they would in BD sales for those two months. I mean how many guys are gonna rush out and buy this for the BD player? Anyway, I doubt we would see a deal like this if it were being put out by cash-flush studios like Warner or Disney.

Yeah, and a good deal for BB/Target too. I would imagine they'll have the following banner plasted across their weekly ads for two months:
EXCLUSIVE TWILIGHTblu-rayDISTRIBUTOR!

Odd but semi-understandable decision on the BD exclusivity. I still think in a way Summit is underestimating how big of a cash cow these books are.
After seeing the movie, I'll still be buying this on BD Will have to do pre-order/in-store pickup at Best Buy.

I've read the book and liked the movie quite a bit. My wife hasn't read the book and loved the movie. I'll be getting this for the Edward/Bella commentary. I always like it when the main stars participate.
