The Japanese premium DVD set seems to have some really cool features we won’t get in the US versions, namely a micro-SD card with the movie on so you can watch New Moon your phone!

CrunchGear lists there features being included in the  premium DVD set:

Twilight and New Moon have proven to be extremely successful in the world’s second biggest movie market, Japan, too. That’s perhaps the reason why the second movie (New Moon) gets a special treatment in this country, namely a huge and Japan-only DVD premium box.

The so-called New Moon / Twilight Saga Premium Box – “Always” Edition will be limited to just 2,000 units and includes:

* New Moon movie DVD (130 min.)

* Special features DVD (170 min.)

* New Moon photo cards

* A photo stand

* Mini stickers/ film stripes

* A microSD card containing Twilight

The DVDs will be bilingual (English and Japanese) and region 2-coded, meaning you’ll need a region-free player to view them. Needless to say the real collector’s item here is the microSD card, which lets you watch the complete first movie (Twilight) on your cell phone (the Japanese do that sometimes).

But beware, as that movie will probably be dubbed in Japanese (unclear at this point). And you’ll probably need a special, 1Seg TV-enabled phone to use the card.

If all of these factors and the high price ($90) don’t scare you, I suggest contacting import/export specialist CD Japan if you want to pre-order the box (they’re listing it already). It will go on sale in Japan on March 26.

According to a rather poor translation from the Japanese ad, the video will have audio commentary by director Chris Weitz on the making of the movie (approximately 65 minutes), music video clips (about 12 minutes), Team Edward VS Team Jacob (about 8 minutes), Taylor (approximately 6 minutes), the wolf tribe (about 9 minutes), Italy (approximately 6 minutes), Volturi scenes (15 minutes),the Volturi family (about 12 minutes), making of the music CD (5 minutes), Gallery Story (?) (15 minutes) and more. In addition, there is this I could not decipher: “the scene modes to play starring Edward concentration (about 30 minutes) and a scene starring Jacob concentration playback mode (about 33 minutes)”

The release date is March 26.
