So.. now that the Twilight DVD is out – just how confusing does it get?
I see advertisements and it seems each store has a different version of the dvd. Fullscreen, Wide Screen, Blu-Ray.
Some are 1 Disc/ DVD and some are 3 DVD’s.
Now – we sure don’t want to miss out on any goodies so what exactly is the difference?
What are we missing on the 3 dvd set and where do we find it?
Well – Twifanatics.com to the rescue. We checked the scene and break it down for you:

Amazon Ondemand
Amazon also offers the streaming version of twilight for $3.99 (24 hour rental) or $14.99 to buy.
No features or extras that I can see listed.
So – That’s our roundup.
What do we suggest? Believe it or not some people will run out and buy several versions.
If you are into BluRay – then we’d suggest heading to target to pick up a copy. Pretty affordable price.
If you are looking for standard widescreen then Target seems to have the best deal with the 3-disc Set.
If extras/collectors sets is your thing – Borders looks like they’ve hit the sweet spot.
Please let us hear your comments – did we miss a great deal?
