Which Twilight Saga Eclipse DVD do you buy?

I am sorry i did not post this sooner, but there are not many choices this time....

We are lucky that it is not nearly as confusing as New Moon's options were.

But I had a bunch of tweets and emails asking for it so here you go....

WHAT ECLIPSE DVD SHOULD I BUY??

There is your basic dvd, a dvd & blu-ray combo pack and the special edition.



Some stores may have their own perks to lure you into buy (such as lowered price, discount on other Twi-merch, and so on) but overall there are only a few differences this time around (Phew!)

Different countries will have some different specizls (Like Australia has a 3rd disc option that includes stuff from the press conference held there with Taylor & Kristen)

As Twilight Lexicon posted a few weeks back:

We asked Summit a couple of months ago about this, and they told us that what is offered content-wise will be the same vendor to vendor on comparable products (ie: comparing single-disc to single-disc, two-disc to two-disc). The only thing that may differ are the packaging items. So a given vendor might have a specially stylized box, another one might offer a poster or a tee shirt as a perk, but the actual content on the DVD should remain the same within a given country.

What might happen is when it comes to foreign distributors, they might include some extras like if a press conference or a premiere went on in that country, they may have a few clips of that media event, but the studio driven content is the same. So, you don’t have to buy three different discs from three different manufacturers just to get all the Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Stephenie Meyer, etc extras that you want.


So here is what you should be getting...
