DVD Release Parties -- March 19

Twilight fans are invited to Borders stores nationwide the evening of March 19 to enjoy "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" DVD release parties. The festivities kick off at 10 p.m. when fans will gather to celebrate their passion for Edward, Bella, Jacob and the Twilight Saga phenomenon. Borders has a great line-up of activities planned, all designed to entertain fans until the highly anticipated DVD goes on sale at 12:01 a.m. March 20. During the parties, attendees will enjoy charades, a New Moon movie debate sponsored by fan site TwilightSeriesTheories.com and a New Moon quote contest. Winners of the each of the activities will be eligible to receive a variety of prizes including bookmarks, key chains, a pin set and magnet set.

The highlight of the evening will be the "Borders Movie Awards," where fans in each Borders store will have the opportunity to cast their votes in award categories such as "Best Shirtless Moment," "Best Fight," "Best Scene," "Best Song" and "Most Reckless Bella Moment." To cast their ballots, fans simply download a ballot at http://www.bordersmedia.com/twilight/newmoon_video.asp, complete it and bring it with them to the party (ballots will also be available at the parties). Award category winners will be announced at the end of the evening. To find a participating store, visit Borders.com and click on the Store Locator tab. Activities may vary by store.

So now I'm confused! I thought Walmart was supposed to have the best New Moon version of the DVD! Its a double disc and will have the Eclipse trailer on it. Well, lets just buy them all!
