I still prefer Blu-ray as my main way to watch movies, so I’m a little disappointed that the digital release comes out more than a week before the Blu-ray. But what will probably happen is that I will just end up getting both, as I don’t think I can wait that long to see the movie again and all these cool special features!

Which version of the Blu-ray are you planning on getting? Let us know in the comments!
