okay, this is what I don't understand. Why can't all of the sets of DVDs have all the same content on them? Like every store selling a 2-disc, it has the same content as everyone else, same for the 3-disc and so forth. I mean seriously, that really annoys me, and it's stupid. I can understand selling a memorbilia thing from difference stores, like one store is selling a keychain with the DVD or whatever, but I believe all DVDs should have the same content.
yeh, I don' understand that too!!!!
But is too bad that I don't leave in USA!!
I can't wait to move up to USA!!!
lol
So ditto guys, tottaly stuck on that one!!!!
What is there not to get, hay?
yeah i agree qeith u thats so adtupid they should all be the same i already pre ordered it some where else!!
I agree – I pre-ordered and paid for a copy that doesn't have the same content…now I'll be stuck with two copies of the DVD
I don't understand either. Didn't Summit's press release say that all the DVD and Blu-rays were gonna be the same, that way no one would be having this problem again this year.
That's what I read also, that they were all going to be the same to avoid the problems they had last year. It's just stupid to have all these different choices. I just want the movie with some deleted scenes and maybe some goof scenes.
Woot!! That's awesome!!
Will this be available in Canada??
I wonder if they will finally cater to the plus size crowd? Maybe some bigger t shirts?
I'm so pumped!!! I can't wait!!! I looooveeee Taylor Lautner!!!!!!!!!
I've also pre ordered a copy from Borders and Target and I guess now i'll have to pre order from Walmart, I wonder who else is going to add to this, it already has cost a fortune in watching the movie at the cinema, I must've dropped a couple hundred dollars watching it already. Wow I should've had shares in the company lol
any one know if you can get the ultimate fan edition that is available in the us in canada
Thank you ,nice post.
