TWILIGHT MERCHANDISE COMPARISON FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 19TH

So, HT is releasing an “exclusive” Twilight dvd on Feb 9th. I already preodered off Amazon… I just hope they don’t start releasing additional features on dvd’s depending on who’s selling them! When the soundtrack was released, I was nervous to miss out on special tracks depending on where I bought it! This money machine (clinging onto Twilight’s back like that thing from LOTR that loses himself in his obsession for the ring)is really starting to frustrate me… Sorry. Had to vent.:)

Angel, please don’t apologize – I feel similarly to you. How do we know that we’re getting THE movie? For instance, it really ticks me off when I see the DVD that I want for $14.99 at Wal-mart but two weeks later I find the same movie WITH THE BONUS MATERIAL IN THE SPECIAL CASE AND THE DELETED EXTRAS for $19.99 – What is up with that? So how do we really know that Hot Topic will be selling THE DVD on Feb 9th or if they will be selling just the movie and we’ll all have to wait till March for the special edition DVD with the deleted scenes and bonus features? Whew! I hope that made sense…..

Angel and She Runs With Vampires, I was just wondering where you found out that HT (Hot Topic?) would release the movie DVD on February 9th. I went to the site and didn’t see anything about DVDs. I pre-ordered one from Amazon and they emailed me saying it would not be in until April 1st. I would love to get one before then but can’t find out where to get it. Where did you find out this information? Please let all of us know since I know others would like to get it as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Hey everyone I did some reasearch , becasue I too have pre-ordered from Amazon and here is what i found. —- Hot Topic Announces DVD Pre-Order Parties!
By Twilight_News | January 19, 2009

Here is the news direct from Hot Topic:

“Okay here is some news that I’m sure you guys will be extremely happy about! The Twilight DVD will be released soon. We’re all anxiously waiting for it : ) Hot Topic’s In Store Pre-Order date is February 9th…The Twilight DVD will have exclusive, awesome, HT only surprises if you buy the DVD at Hot Topic.

We will be having launch parties at our Hot Topic stores! There will be A LOT of awesome things and surprises happening at the parties…we will be having a cool contest for a pair of Bella and Edward dolls – I know crazy cool huh? : ) We will be giving away a small percentage of the dolls during the launch parties. After that, if anyone else wants the dolls they can get them from the Tonner Company.”——-

So it is ore-order parties that Hot Topic will be having on Feb. 9th. not the dvd itself. As far as I have been able to see on any website including Walmart, target, amazon and etc. there is only one version of the sdvd availible and that is the 2 disc special edition. I hope this helps everyone. By the way I got next day shipping on my order at amazon and they told me toecpect it to be delivered on 3/23/2009. I am guessing that because since it is beening released on a Saturday that Monday the 23rd is closest to next day you can get.

I just looked this up and the Feb 9th date is the date of their preorder launch parties it still isn’t being released until March 21st. Just google Hot Topic Twilight DVD Feb 9th and it will give you the one article.

AS FAR AS I KNOW THE MOVIE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE RELEASED UNTIL MARCH 21ST…. THATS THE LAST I READ ON TA SOMEWHERE….AMAZON IS GOING TO BE BACK ORDERED BAD!!!! THATS WHY ITS TAKING TIL APRIL TO GET YOUR COPY PAT…I PREORDERED IT TOO AND THEY GAVE ME A RECIEVED DATE OF MAR 23RD…I GUESS IT JUST DEPENDS WHEN YOU PREORDERED.

Thanks for the price comparisons!

Rue 21 has a few Twilight inspired shirts for $9.99 each (“I kissed a vampire, and I liked it,” and “vegetarian vampire”).

The 2-disk DVD is available March 21, you can pre-order it now on Amazon.
If you opt for standard shipping you will receive it about March 23 (2-3 days), but if you opt for the super saver shipping (free shipping) you will receive it between April 1-7 because this option is shipped in 3-5 business or working days.
I ordered mine already, and I am considering cancelling to get an earlier copy with this pre-order launch party.
Can’t wait either way.

Thanks for the prices.
