In September, I posted the details of what would be included in the special edition. It is definitely something to consider for the die-hard Watchmen fanatic. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra will also release this week. I'm not expecting ...

Studios May Force DVD Sales Only Period
Responding to continued drops in DVD sales, movie studios are apparently considering a multi-week window where DVD and Blu-ray copies would only be available for purchase.
