You can probably buy this at the liquor store.

The biggest movie of summer 2009 was released to DVD and Blu-ray in North America on October 20th, 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:

  • All editions of ROTF include the following:

For a limited time, copies of the DVD were available for preorder on Michael Bay's website, to be signed by Bay himself. Maybe you can find one on eBay if you're lucky.

US retailer exclusives

Best Buy Limited Edition Blu-Ray Giftset - $44.99


F.Y.E. Exclusive Steelbook Packaging - $25.99


Target Exclusive Transforming Bumblebee Case


Walmart Exclusive Big Screen Edition

We're not playing favorites... but let's face it; this is the one you want.
  • 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 Georgia 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.

What's needed: Are there any exclusive releases for other markets? Europe? Australasia? We need pics of everything, too.
