DVD Release Date and Info

ok i liked this video. it broke down all the different dvd's. so i guess on saturday morning i'll be going to target to get their dvd. the 3rd disk will have all kinds of other cool shit. then if i can get borders.. i'm done.. i will have 3 damn dvd's. that is insane..lol. tho i would so love to have that costco set but $60 is kinda high..when in may the blu ray from amazon is the same thing but on blue ray and it was only $10 more..lol

I want that damn Costco one so bad!!! I also want the Target one but sadly with me being without a job, I will have to settle with the 2 I will have lol.. Unless mom buys it for me which I doubt since I asked her today to get me the new keychains and she said no.

Well damn it there is just sooooo much amazing stuff what is a girl to do!

I got my keychains haha. Mom was like "Do you you really think I would deny you 4 dollar key chains lol.

Lol awesome. You know guys.....I think I want that deluxe DVD set.

The one from Costco?

No the ultimate collectors one

Which one is the costco one im confused lol

Yay I finally have it down! Yes the costco one is the one I want. It is pretty expensive so I dont think I can afford it right now but it does look pretty cool. Besides I am already getting two different DVDs I think that is enough for now.

I know the feeling about money. I think I can deal without getting the Costco one.

I'm thinking awful hard about going to Hot Topic for the release party. There will be two that I can go to. I'm just afraid that my temper will get the best of me if I do go.

haha cuz of the teenys. As I call them?

You ladies crack me up

I want the costco one, I think thats the one that has all the nifty stuff with it. I didnt preorder any, lol. I was going to preorder the one at Hot Topic but I couldnt go to the release party and I dont think I want to be in there with all those teeny boppers!

I will get the movie immediately, even if I just have to settle with the regular version for now.

I think I can live without the costco one and will be happy with the HT and Borders ones

saw this on lexicon and thought i'd share for anyone thinking of going to borders. they might actually have more fun if your store will actually do this. found it interesting that they are giving out wristbands for the borders special dvd and only have a certain number available. even says that they will start giving those out the morning they open, not just when the party starts.

Twilight’ Fans Will Fly to Borders March 20 for Midnight DVD Release Parties

“Borders Twilight Movie Awards,” trivia, raffles and more await fans

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 11, 2009 —“Twilight” fans are invited to Borders stores nationwide March 20 as the retailer rolls out the red carpet beginning at 10 p.m. to host special “Twilight” DVD release parties featuring the “Borders Twilight Movie Awards,” created in collaboration with Summit Entertainment, the film’s producers. The movie’s biggest fans will select the winners of the “Borders Twilight Movie Awards” at each Borders store in 10 categories, such as “Best Bella-Edward Moment,” “Best Vampire” and “Best OME (Oh My Edward) Moment.” To cast their votes, fans simply download a ballot at www.bordersmedia.com/twilight, complete it and bring it with them to the midnight release party. Award category winners will be announced at the end of the evening, but not before fans can view a specially created DVD from Summit Entertainment featuring an exclusive videotaped message from the “Twilight” cast welcoming everyone to their local “Borders Twilight Movie Awards” ceremony. All movie ballots collected will be entered into a “Moments of Twilight Raffle,” sponsored by Summit Entertainment.

In addition to the “Borders Twilight Movie Awards,” fans will have a great time enjoying a host of activities designed specifically for die-hard “Twilight” followers:

* Vampire Baseball-themed “Twilight” Trivia Sponsored by Twilight Lexicon —Fans won’t need a bat, ball or superhuman strength to participate in this event. Two teams will go head-to-head in nine innings of mind-twisting “Twilight” trivia. In the bonus “Grand Slam Lightning Round,” fans can really show their “Twilight” prowess when they answer trivia questions supplied by Twilight Lexicon. At the end of the game, one MVP—“Most Vampiric Player”—will be selected from each team.
* “Twilight” Scavenger Hunt —Twilighters should come prepared to scour their Borders store for “Twilight”-themed clues. A passion for winning and an extensive knowledge of all things “Twilight” are requirements for this “vampirific” activity that is sure to get the adrenaline pumping.

* “Moments of Twilight Raffle” Drawing Sponsored by Summit Entertainment—Just before the “Twilight” DVD officially goes on sale, Borders will draw 10 winning ballots from all who entered locally and present each person who submitted the ballot with an exclusive photo card provided by Summit Entertainment. Each photo card, direct from the Borders exclusive “Twilight” DVD, features an iconic image of the “Twilight” cast from the movie. Raffle winners will be encouraged to share their favorite “Twilight” movie moment with the crowd of fans gathered at the store.

Leaders of the Most Popular Fan Sites to Celebrate at Borders

The superfans behind the top fan sites – Web sites like Twilight Lexicon, Twilight Series Theories and TwilightLive – recognize that Borders stores will be the places to be on Friday night, March 20, as they count down the final minutes until the DVD goes on sale. On the big night, only Borders will host five of the nation’s leading fan sites as they help us celebrate the release of “Twilight” on DVD. Webmasters of the following sites will appear at Borders stores:

* Twilight Series Theories at Borders in Allen, Texas
* Twilight Lexicon and TwilightLive at Borders – Penn Plaza in New York City
* Twilight Lexicon at Borders – Westend in Nashville, Tenn.
* TwilightSource and Twilight Facebook at Borders in Westwood, Calif.

At the Penn Plaza and Nashville parties, leaders from Twilight Lexicon will participate in the festivities by challenging attendees to correctly answer trivia questions they created during the “Grand Slam Lightning Round” of Vampire Baseball-themed “Twilight” Trivia.

Borders’ Exclusive “Twilight” DVD

While supplies last, Twilighters can purchase an exclusive Borders two-disc, limited-edition copy of the “Twilight” DVD presented in a deluxe tri-fold rigid case. The front cover features a pattern of tree branches foil-stamped on the matte finish packaging, creating a beautiful tone-on-tone image that highlights the movie’s logo. Upon its release, the Borders-exclusive two-disc “Twilight” DVD will be $29.99, a savings of 25% off the retail price of $39.99.

The exclusive DVD, available for purchase while supplies last, has a number of special bonus features that fans can find nowhere else except Borders, including:

* Exclusive interviews with Robert Pattinson (Edward), Kristen Stewart (Bella), Cam Gigandet (James), Edi Gathegi (Laurent) and Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) that were recorded during Comic-Con in San Diego.
* Exclusive red-carpet footage from the global movie premiere in Los Angeles, and a re-edited version of the Borders Book Club episode that features author Stephenie Meyer discussing the phenomenon behind the Twilight Saga.
* A set of 10 exclusive photo cards, which feature images of the cast. The 7-1/4-inch-by-5-3/8-inch photo cards are printed on a heavy pearlescent stock, giving the cards a rich, beautiful shimmer. The DVDs and photo cards will be elegantly presented in a deluxe tri-fold rigid case that is exclusive to Borders.

Borders Twilight Parties — 3

Customers who want to purchase the Borders exclusive limited-edition DVD at the parties should arrive early to receive a wristband, which guarantees the opportunity to purchase the special DVD. Most stores will begin distributing wristbands when they open the morning of March 20 and will only provide wristbands for as many exclusive DVDs as are available for purchase at the store. Again, because supplies of the exclusive DVD are limited, customers are encouraged to come to the stores early to receive a wristband. If customers are unable to receive a wristband, they can, of course, purchase the regular “Twilight” DVD.

“We have put together an amazing line-up of activities and entertainment for our ‘Twilight’ DVD midnight release parties,” said Anne Kubek, executive vice president of Merchandising and Marketing for Borders Group. “These activities were designed with the true fan in mind—the customer who lives and breathes all things ‘Twilight.’ From the parties, to the books, to an extensive selection of ‘Twilight’ products, to the soon-to-be-released Borders exclusive limited-edition DVD, we are truly the headquarters for all things ‘Twilight’ and we intend to throw great in-store parties that fans will remember for years to come.”

Additional “Twilight”-themed Products

In addition to the DVDs, Borders offers an incredible selection of “Twilight”-themed items, including a Borders exclusive 18-month “Twilight” calendar featuring beautiful movie stills as well as t-shirts, jewelry, posters, bookmarks, an Edward action figure and, of course, the Twilight Saga—“Twilight,” “New Moon,” “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn.” All of these “Twilight”-related products are gathered in one sweeping display at the front of our stores that is sure to attract shoppers thirsty for vampire memorabilia.


tho i know for sure that not all borders do these things. last time they had a thing mine didn't do any of it. it's up to the store. so it's best to call and ask. hell not all borders do the parties either, even when they are listed as so on the site. borders really should clear those type things up. cause not all people call and ask a million questions like i do...lmao. so i'm going to HT and i hope that it's just as fun with things going on. but it may not be as crowded. who knows..lol

ohh and lexicon had a sneak peek at what the film cell that comes with the HT looks like.......



not my fav shot or anything. but it will do i guess...haha.

k ty tamran for the update on the borders party. i will for sure call on monday and find out. And let me tell ya i will go to lunch early on friday to get a wristband. Today i'm suppose to be setting up dept 31 into a twilight shop area. i'm sooo excited i will take a pic and send it to ya cus i still cant upload on this stupid computer

I think I am still going to HT and like you said Tam who knows which Borders are doing it. Plus I already know that my HT is doing a party and have been so excited I just have to check it out.

the girl that works at my hot topic is so excited about the party..she said they are all dressing up and everything..im excited about it now..i just hope its not super crowded!

Yea I think we are on the same page about it being crowded. I hope it isnt super crowded but with these things you never really know.

I'm hoping some of these teeny boppers won't be allowed to go haha being that its late at night.

yeah i know the last time i was in mine he said something about dressing up.. but you won't see me doing that. i might call and see what else they are doing. i hope it's not crowded. i'm hoping that the teenies won't be out or have decided to go to borders instead or something..lol

It is so funny we are all thinking the same thing about the crowd. The last thing I want is tons of teenagers surrounding me in a HT. Plus the less people, the more likely it is I will get a chance at the giveaways!

My Borders isnt doing the party. They're having a midnight release but with none of the other stuff.

I'm still going there instead of HT though...I think the Borders version is much better.
