Molly Mon, March 3, 2014 
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray in the US on March 7th, and the question we're hearing more than ANY other question is: "Which version should I buy?!" Well, tributes, we're here to help. Lionsgate Home Entertainment was generous enough to give us one of each version so we could compare the features and benefits and help make your shopping a little easier.
Target 3-Disc Blu-Ray Combo Pak
I'll tell you right off the bat that I'm a complete collector (hoarder?) and want ALL POSSIBLE Hunger Games footage in my possession. If it's a Special Feature, I. Must. Have. It. So, MY personal fave is the Target 3-disc collector’s set.
The three discs come in a very cool book-bound case with a photo on each page: Katniss, Peeta, Finnick and Gale. This version has the MOST special features.
Disc 1: the film on Blu-Ray, audio commentary with Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson, Blu-ray exclusive 9-part making-of documentary: “Surviving The Game”, deleted scenes, Divergent sneak peek
Disc 2: the film on DVD, audio commentary with Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson, deleted scenes, Divergent sneak peek
Disc 3: DVD Bonus disc - 3 featurettes:
• One Vision (A Faithful Adaptation)--translating Suzanne Collin's source material to the big screen
• The Alliance (Returning Cast)--an inside look at the close-knit relationships of the returning actors
• Friend or For (New Cast)--finding the perfect embodiments of the new characters
Plus the digital HD Ultraviolet copy
$24.99 at Target
Best Buy Steelbook Front & Back
Best Buy Exclusive SteelBook Blu-Ray
This version comes with the movie on Blu-Ray only, audio commentary with Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson, Blu-ray exclusive 9-part making-of documentary: “Surviving The Game”, deleted scenes, Divergent sneak peek + $8.00 Fandango cash (a redeemable code). Plus the digital HD Ultraviolet copy.
Inside the SteelBook packagingThis version is great if you ONLY want the Blu-Ray. It does not have the 45 minutes of extra content (3 featurettes) included on the Target bonus disc but it DOES have the awesome making-of documentary and deleted scenes.
$29.99 at Best Buy (but on sale for $22.99 at press time)
Amazon Blu-Ray+DVD+Digital Copy
Amazon Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital HD Ultraviolet Copy
This version comes with the movie on Blu-Ray and DVD, audio commentary with Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson, Blu-ray exclusive 9-part making-of documentary: “Surviving The Game”, deleted scenes and Divergent sneak peek. Basic DVD packaging.
$19.99 at Amazon
Note: Amazon also has a DVD + Digital Ultraviolet copy version that comes with audio commentary by Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson, deleted scenes and Divergent sneak peek for $15.99. It has NO 9-part making-of documentary: “Surviving The Game” - That's a Blu-Ray ONLY exclusive feature.
Walmart Exclusive 2 Movie SetWalmart 2-Movie Set
Walmart has a 2 movie set on DVD in their exclusive lenticular packaging (which is just a sticker on the cover of a basic dvd package, fyi).This version contains The Hunger Games and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on DVD plus the digital ultraviolet versions of both movies. No special features at all, only the feature films are included. It's definitely for more of a casual fan who doesn't care to see all the behind the scenes stuff. I'm a "more is more" type of fan so this is NOT for me. Sorry, Walmart.
Bottom line: My opinion is, if you want EVERYTHING, get the Target version. Even if you don't have a Blu-Ray player, you'll have the bonus disc (Disc 3, which is a DVD) with 45 minutes of behind the scenes content, and you'll get the audio commentary, the deleted scenes and the Divergent sneak peek on the dvd disc (Disc 2). Take the Blu-Ray to your Blu-Ray owning friend's house and have a slumber party to watch the 9-part making-of documentary!
See them all at CatchingFireMovie.com
Follow up note: I watched/listened to the audio commentary with Francis & Nina. It is absolute GOLD. They basically talk over the ENTIRE FILM. So, don't watch it your first time because you hear almost no diagogue. But what you DO hear is Francis talking about every choice he made in filming/cutting and why. And both of them talking about the adaptation and why choices were made cinematically. They also give out some tiny but awesome nuggets about Mockingjay. They both speak with such a passion for the books and the film. It's a MUST for the fangirl/fanboy.

Willow Shields with Francis Lawrence and Paula Malcomson on setTo celebrate the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on DVD and Blu-Ray March 7th, Willow Shields spoke with Socialite Life about making the movie, her role as Primrose Everdeen and some of her favorite aspects of the film. Plus we get a new behind the scenes set photo!
What is your favorite thing about Prim’s evolution?
My favorite thing is just how mature she’s getting, and how much she’s kind of there for Katniss now. I think it’s a great evolution from starting as such a young girl who has gone through so much in her life to coming out with strength instead of sadness.
What is your favorite thing about Katniss and Prim’s relationship?
My favorite thing is that we really realize that bond from the beginning. The whole reason Katniss goes into The Hunger Games is to save her sister. I think it’s such a strong bond from the beginning and travels on throughout the whole series. There’s a sort of role reversal where Prim is really there for Katniss, but they always have that strong bond throughout the whole series.
Besides the trailer scene, what was your favorite scene to watch?
I really loved seeing all the scenes in the arena because I’m filming scenes in District 12. But when they to all the scenes in the arena I haven’t really seen any glimpses of what’s going on in the arena, or what they’re filming for the arena scenes. I’m like a fan going to see the movie because I almost don’t know what to expect in the arena scenes.
Was there anything that surprised you about how the arena was depicted?
Not really. I just thought all the new tributes they used in the arena were really great. Everyone who portrayed them, they portrayed them perfectly.
I really enjoyed Finnick. Were there any characters that stood out to you out of the newbies?
I really liked Finnick, too and I thought it was fun to see Sam [Claflin] bring that character to life. I really enjoyed seeing Jena [Malone] play Joanna. It’s such a different character for the series. It was fun to see how different that character is. It’s a good touch to the series because in Catching Fire it almost added comedy. That was really cool.
What were your thoughts on the relationship between Katniss and Joanna?
I think both Jenn [Lawrence] and Jena did a fantastic job at doing that the right way. There is a little bit of that tension. Everyone realizes in the end they are all looking for that same thing. That is freedom and just being with their families — faith, and just being there for each other.
Between the first two stories, which character for you think has evolved the most?
I think Liam [Hemsworth] — Gale — has evolved a lot. I think that he’s such a good actor and it’s so fun to see all the scenes he has. It’s fun to see all the scenes he has because he does really well at it.
Were there any pranks in between scenes?
Not really. There was a lot of goofing off. In one scene – it’s a pretty serious scene and I have that cat with me in Catching Fire. She [Jennifer] is in the corner with cat toys trying to get me to laugh. You know, Jenn has set out to make people laugh in scenes when she’s not on camera. That can make it very challenging. She’s definitely taught me a lot.
Has Jennifer Lawrence given you any advice?
She’s given me advice about being who I am about being who I am and not changing because of Hollywood. That’s good advice and I’m definitely going to remember that. She hasn’t changed at all and that’s great. She’s such a fun person to work with.
Why should fans go get the DVD immediately after its release?
It would be really fun because you get an up close feel about what it’s like on set. A really fun behind-the-scenes and deleted scenes. For fans it’s a great experience because they get to witness what goes on on set and how we make a movie.
Who is your celebrity crush?
Right now my celebrity crush is Ansel Elgort. He’s going to be in The Fault in Our Stars which is my favorite book right now. It’s partially because I love the character he plays in The Fault in Our Stars.
