Twi-Fan

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:
