Lionsgate invited a handful of folks from various Hunger Games fan sites to tell them about the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray releases of the movie.  We were treated to a 22 minute sneak peek of footage in a presentation that was created specifically for us.  As if the oohs and aahs of the footage wasn’t enough, we were treated with a visit from a special guest.

Jackie Emerson (Foxface) came to chat and have lunch with us.  She was delightful and so pretty.  Our hosts from Lionsgate spent time with all of us asking about what our fans like to see most in the extras on DVD and Blu-ray versions of the movies.  Commentary from the stars of the film, blooper reel, and deleted scenes were brought up the most.  What extras do you want to see?

  • The Target Deluxe Edition includes a collectible case and forty-five minutes of exclusive content. The exclusive content includes: Tribute Video Diaries, Stories from the Tributes, Tribute Biographies, Tribute Photo Gallery.
  • The Walmart Edition includes: The Stunts of the Hunger Games, Capitol Couture: The Styles of Panem, VUDU, Digital Copy, Mockingjay pendant.
  • iTunes is offering a behind the scenes look at the special effects.
  • The Costco box set includes: Digital Copy, Parachute necklace, District 12 Tribute Backpack, Keychain.
  • Best Buy has another box set that includes a four-disc set with exclusive special features and a collectible.

Which version you get will depend on what interests you most.  While we cannot post a review of the Special Features until August 18th, just know that out of the 3 hours (that’s right 3 hours) of extras there is something for everyone.

It was great to meet people from the other fan sites and share all the excitement.  Special thanks to Lionsgate showing us that we have a lot to look forward to in the DVD/Blu-ray release and also for their dedication and appreciation of the fans.

    I like the Costco or walmart one. I like to have a digital copy of it. :) . Can’t wait to own it!

  • CJL

    I already pre ordered it with Amazon. Kinda wish i waited for target now, but you can stream it for free on Amazon with a pre order, so you can actualy watch it on the 18th :)

  • I<3PEETA

    Ican’t decide which one i like best!!!

  • nikkiD123

    So Finnicky, would the 3 hours of extra footage still be included with the special packs at each place?

    • Natalie

      Yes. But some different packs have exclusive footage that others don’t.

    • Finnicky

      It is my understanding that the special features that are available on all the packages are about 3 hours. Remember that it’s not 3 hours of extra footage from the movie – the features range from conversations with the author, publishing company, students, teachers, actors. There is behind the scenes footage of how the movie was made, physical training the actors went through, digital effects, set design, interviews with the director and actors, etc.

      • nikkiD123

        Okay, I think i understand :) thanks :)

    • Finnicky

      OK. I went through all the standard special features that are included on all the DVDs and I can confirm that it is 3 hours of extras without any of the exclusives that are on the store specific copies – which means, with those copies you get even more. I hope that helps.

      Lol! I was just changing from Costco and Walmart then I wanted the target one.

  • Rachel

    is this stuff limited edition? Please reply

    • Finnicky

      The box sets are all limited edition and in short supply. If you can pre-order it, it might be a good idea.

  • Rachel

    how much is the one from best buy?

  • noel

    Definately getting the one from Target!!!

  • noel

    I’ve known for a long time that the tributes had cameras and what they filmed where going onto the dvd, so I’m glad they told me which one it will be on! I would have just thought it would be on every DVD! I’ve been waiting to see this for a while!!

  • Sgirl8470

    So if i get the one from Target, will i also get the 3 hours of extras?

  • Mrs. Peeta Mellark <3

    Tomorrow morning I’m going straight to Costco right when it opens to get the box set. I’ll even wait outside for it! I’ve been DYING not having this movie already. <33
