That's great, but isn't it coming out on November 11th in the UK? Why is it coming out so much later in the US?

Finally it's official? Talk about the worst kept "secret" I've already had that date marked on my calendar for weeks. Can't wait...Christmas is going to come early in my house. (I wonder how many times I'll watch the DVD before Christmas...probably more than necessary!)

WHY is it coming out here a month later than the UK edition? That's really stupid, and doesn't make any sense.
And isn't that a bit high-priced? I haven't bought any DVDs in a while, but I don't think they normally sell for that much.

Wow, excellent, I'm excited!! I like that feature on the HD version where you can create a montage of favorite scenes... unfortunately I only have a regular DVD player. But I'm definitely getting the 2-disc DVD so I'll have loads of extras. When GoF came out on DVD my mom let me skip the first half hour of school so I could get it as soon as the store opened. Hopefully I can do that again this time around!!

It's not fair that the three versions have diferent things!
I understand that a scene editor is not possible in the normal DVD, but why they don't put more featurettes in the 2-disc DVD???
That's what is always lacking in the HP DVD's.
Imagine Behind-the scenes like LORT??? Those were excelent!!(And don't get me wrong, I LOVE HP, but sometimes I expect more.
SO glad that they finally didn't put stupid games!

Erm, I thought that the release date had already been settled here in the US. I am looking forward to receiving the regular 2-disc set for Christmas. It may be hard to resist the temptation to buy it myself for those 14 days in between...

That's cool but i can't believe we have to wait another a whole month after the UK to get it. Also what about the deleted scenes the BBFC only showed 10 minutes of deleted and know it's 17 minutes. That is so cool but i wonder what those other ones are then.

Cool, but... this is dumb!
I mean COME ON! We have to buy all of them if we want to see everything. And what about that set!? I would SO want that because of the three hours of footage! But then, what about the footage that you ONLY get on HD or ONLY get on Blu-Ray? That's not in that pack either! This sucks...

This will be great. I am very excited. With all of the stores fighting to make a sale, I am sure those prices will come down quite a bit! Now all we need is HBP to come out quickly...

Link to sneaks of HP6! I LOVE LINKS TO FUTURE STUFF! :D It'll be just in time for Christmas - maybe Santa Claus will drop by early and drop it off for me :)
-- Bonus materials - A bonus disc containing more than three hours of all-new content from the past Harry Potter films. It'll cost a lot - but - it's - it's worth it right! ... it'll probably end up on youtube anyway *laughs*.

YES!!
Hopefully there's TONNES of extras!
I wish I had a HD/DVD, but I think that the normal set should suffice. I really can't wait to watch it over & over again.
