It’s no secret that I’m a big comic book lover and lifelong Spider-Man fan. Growing up, when I wasn’t hosting Spider-Man tea parties, I was following the adventures of Peter Parker through the comics, ’90s cartoon, and my collection of Spider-Man toys. So it stands to reason that this summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man movie would be right up my alley.

The trailer for this new movie seems to offer a new twist on the origin of Spider-Man and promises a lot of great special effects. We don’t make it to the cinema often, so these days I usually catch movies I’m interested in at home after they come to DVD – that’s why I was excited to pick up a special pre-purchase gift set at Walmart this weekend so that I can catch the new Spider-Man film on Vudu and DVD before anyone else!

On Friday, Jai and I headed to the Walmart store in Cornelius, Oregon to pick up The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-Ray+DVD+UltraViolet Limited Edition Mask Gift Set pre-purchase box. This special pre-order set is available only at Walmart stores, and it’s quite a unique concept:

As you can see, the pre-purchase box is sold with the other DVDs in the electronics aisle, but it’s very different: What it contains is actually a special promotional code which you can register online once you get home. This code will allow you to not only receive an early digital copy of the film on Vudu on October 30th, but also to receive a special DVD gift set mailed to your home in advance of the official November 9th release date. This means you get to watch Spidey from the comfort of your home entertainment system before anyone else!

To redeem my pre-purchase download and gift set, I headed to Vudu.com and entered my registration code. (Tip: If you have trouble entering your code, make sure you enter it all as one word!) If you already have a Vudu account, you can login, otherwise it will prompt you to register. When you create a new account, you will also have the opportunity to choose a free movie – click here to see the full terms and the free movies which are on offer.

The sign-up process was pretty straightforward, asking for basic information like my mailing address for the DVD, email, and phone number. I appreciated that I could skip entering a credit card number, which makes me feel comfortable that I won’t have any obligations with the account.

Once I finished the registration process, I was all set! While I wait for the digital copy to become available to me at the end of next month, I can watch two special bonus videos which are available in my Vudu account now, which show deleted scenes and stunt footage.

Receiving my early Vudu copy at the end of October is going to be perfect timing, because I am going to be throwing an epic Spider-Man Halloween bash to screen the movie! Yes, that’s right, I’m starting up my Halloween party tradition once again after a 4-year hiatus. I cannot wait to start decorating and I already have an awesome comic book menu planned. It’s going to be so much fun – or as Spider-Man might say:
