U.S. stores hope to duplicate "Twilight" success

Anything connected to Twilight is a sure winner. Hot Topic, Borders and Amazon have been selling any product that can be related to Twilight. From Twilight posters to the Cullen crest, and even Edward Cullen pajamas, everything has been selling like hot cakes. Now that the Twilight DVD is set to be released on March 21st, all these retailers are battling for the best exclusive Twilight DVD package they could think of. Hot Topic has their own special edition DVD, Borders and Amazon have their own collector's edition DVD as well.

Now, another U.S. retailer wants to join the club. Walmart, the biggest discount store in America announced that they will be opening "Twilight Shops" within each of its 3,500 U.S. discount stores starting in mid-March.

Wal-Mart said it will sell the DVD movie and CD soundtrack along with Twilight clothes, posters, jewelry and key chains. Fans can also place early "pre-orders" on Wal-Mart's website for the Twilight DVD ahead of its nationwide release, and Walmart.com will post news about upcoming fan events and activities.

It will be a gruesome battle on who will take home the most cash from the Twilight DVD. It's just a matter of who offers the best package with a cheaper price.
