The [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|biggest movie of last summer]] was released to DVD and Blu-ray in North America on [[October 20]]th, 2009. Are you prepared? Do you know your exclusive transforming case from your extra seconds of metal smashy-smashy? Here's what you need to know:

==General retail releases==
Hundreds of retail chains across the United States are offering ''ROTF'' for sale, from grocery stores to pharmacies to gas stations.  There are essentially four versions of ''ROTF'' available for Region 1 purchase - the single-disc DVD, the two-disc "special edition" available on Blu-Ray or DVD, and the Walmart-exclusive "Big Screen Edition" which is the only version containing the IMAX-exclusive footage (but is otherwise identical to the Special Edition).  

Here's everything you could ever want to know about the different releases:

===Single-disc release===
;DVD approximately $15 US / £10 UK
* All editions of ''ROTF'' include the following:
** ''Revenge of the Fallen'' in widescreen format

* Available with either the DVD ($20.86) or Blu-Ray ($23.32) versions of the 2-disc Special Edition. NOT the single disc version. Don't cheap out.

* [http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=12534010 ''ROTF'' Big Screen Edition (DVD) at Walmart.com]

*On a funny sidenote to the Wal-Mart edition, a home office error caused the Blu-Ray version to be priced at $13 at release. Unfortunately, due to a decree by the GA governor during the flooding that occurred in the Fall, no retailers were allowed to initiate price increases until the end of October. Not even to fix a pricing error.
