My mum says I can't buy anything for myself until after my birthday. The one downside to having a winter birthday: you can't spend your Christmas money until February. So... No 9 DVD till Jan' 27 when I might hopefully get it as a present.

That sucks, but at least the regular edition DVD is readily available. Shouldn't have any problem getting your hands on a copy when the time comes

Ok, so maybe there IS a special edition (in a steel case, from what is being said), but Focus Features decided not to release it? The clerk at my FYE store completely messed up and gave me a regular edition, no special edition. I don't think the special edition exists, not yet anyways. (Focus might release a special edition copy in the future, who knows.) FYE is pissing me off, I'm never going there to buy DVDs again. And I also have ANOTHER story to tell. Nothing too exciting. Just that after that crazyness about my DVD that I got at FYE NOT being a legit special edition, I decided to buy the bluray edition too (my parents have a bluray player and high definition TV, so why not?). I went to Best Buy, and using my $20 giftcard, I only had to spend 6 dollars out of my pocket for a bluray edition. So overall, I only spent 20 dollars on BOTH the 'special edition' (or regular edition with shiny cover, whichever way you look at it), AND the Bluray edition! That's a STEAL!

Well, here's how my brother and I got the DVD:
First, my brother woke me up at about 7:30 in the morning and told me that the DVD was out. I called the local Walmart and they said that they just got a huge amount of DVDs. My mom drove us over there at about 8:00 in the morning, despite the freezing cold weather, and we dash into the store. I immediately jumped all over the DVD isle and grabbed up the DVD. We paid for the DVD and got some fast food on the way home. When we got home, I watched the DVD 4 times in a row, then looked at the deleted scenes. The DVD was awesome, and the early morning chase was worth it, because we got there right before a crowd of 9 fangirls came stampeding in. Now, I'm off to watch the DVD again. -goes to TV to watch it-

One of the guys that works in the media department told me that it was the special edition of the DVD. I didn't see any other copies besides the normal DVD and Blu-ray copies, and yes, it only has one disc. Aww man, I hope that doesn't mean that the only thing that's special about the SE is that it has the spiffy cover. I would be perfectly content with being wrong and being forced by my 9tardation to go out and purchase it again in SE.
Still, only one disc? :/ That would be very disappointing.

I tryed looking for the special edition too. Same as anna's story about FYE. A special edition might exist but would probably come out later. I'm buying the regular version today and if they do make a special edition I'm probably going to buy it too.

I was at my friend's house from the 27th-29th, and barely got any sleep on the second night/morning. I was really excited about the 9 DVD, but we just pretty much stayed in the house all day, watching movies (Meet the Robinsons and Bridge to Terabithia) and ordering pizza. I didn't get home till around 10 PM, which may have been a little late to be going shopping, but that didn't matter because my mom's car wouldn't start and my dad didn't get home till after midnight, so there was no way I was going anywhere that night anyway. I figured I'd likely have to either order it on Amazon or wait till Saturday to go to Best Buy (the advantage of Best Buy being that I'd be physically getting out of the house and going somewhere). I woke up the next morning, not yet having decided what I wanted to do exactly, and then Mom informed me that Dad has a later work schedule this week, which was why he got home later than usual the night before, so assuming he woke up in time, we'd be able to make a trip to Wal Mart (I like Best Buy, but that's kinda far away). I was struggling to stay awake, wanting to go back to sleep, but afraid that doing so would cause me to lose my chance. Eventually Dad finally got up, and we were soon out the door. After making a quick stop at the library to turn in some books, we then went to try Sears, with me meanwhile talking about Moribito... anyway, Sears didn't have 9; in fact, they had hardly any new movies. So we left and went on to Wal Mart. I found the 9 DVDs quickly... Dad reminded me to make sure I was getting widescreen, which of course I was checking for anyway, but I also had to look for a copy that didn't have a bent corner on the slip cover because some of them did and I wanted as perfect of a condition as I could find. So Dad paid for the DVD, and then we went home, at which point I found that my brother had already uncovered my birds' cages when I was going to do so myself, and then I fed and watered them. Then I got on the internet for a bit and told another friend, with a link to the forum, that I'd just gotten the 9 DVD, at which point I found out about the New Year's party (also, when saying "YES", I typoed "7ES", which amused me). Then I fell asleep for most of the day after some TVTrope-ing. Dad got home from work while I was watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force, of which there were two episodes, and after the second one I invited him to watch 9 with me. Then I forgot where I put the remote, and then Dad had to take my sister to her friend's house anyway. I found the remote right after they left, and so decided to pass the remaining time by making popcorn. Dad got back home, Mom helped me find the garlic salt, and then Dad and I proceeded to watch 9, this being my first viewing of it with popcorn.

oh and i almost forgot about this little tidbit while telling my story...it sorta involves my tale of getting the DVD itself, so i hope its alright to post here...okay:
so like i said i was freaking out the day before, just dying to get the movie and watch it out over and over again...so mom suggested i call wal-mart to see if they will get any in (since she works in a walmart over the border i think they got their shipment earlier) so i called over to the electronics in the store down town where i live and the guy that answered the phone told me that the movie didnt even come out yet, and that it was still in theaters!...oh my god i was cracking up laughing, i couldnt talk to the guy hardly, he then 'asked' another person if they would get them (which i hardly doubt since i could hear the guy in the background, i dont think he moved from the spot he was in >>) and said the same thing. i got off the phone with the guy and told my mom the news, which she got laughing too, since i told her when it releases, so she then called the manager and confirmed the release date was the next day (even though i knew). so i got it in the end...but not from the store i called...then tonight i had to get headphones so i walked back to the electronics and saw the 9 DVD sitting right out the front...man i would have loved to see the guy's faces when they came in...after telling me they werent...ha!.
sorry for the long message...i so had to share that with you guys XD.
