To help you I have complied all of the information I have found about the DVD. Which stores are going to have exclusives, Blu-Ray, midnight releases etc. Please look over this information carefully. I would hate if you got the wrong DVD.

Tri-Fold Packaging
The finish of the rigid case is a tactile coating called "soft touch", which is a smooth, almost velvety/rubbery matte finish. A pattern of tree branches will be foil stamped over the matte coating, which creates beautiful tone on tone imagery. The title treatment is foil stamped in a silver/blue, which completes the effect.


Exclusive Photo Cards
The exclusive photo cards are printed on 2-sided pearlescent shine stock, which has a sparkle effect imbedded in the paper. The (10) photo cards look really amazing on this special stock, and the back sides have the same tree pattern from the inside of the rigid case, carrying the design throughout.

Blu-Ray
According to this article, the Blu-ray version of the Twilight movie will intially be released only at Target and Best Buy. Other retailers will have it roughly two and a half months later.
