  3. Thanks so much for this list. It's really helpful! I was going nuts trying to figure out which version of the Eclipse DVD to buy. (How many copies of Eclipse can one person buy, I ask you? LOL) Is anyone offering a digital download of Eclipse along with the DVD? Target gave a free download with their version of Twilight. Unfortunately, they didn't do the same thing when they sold New Moon.
