My wife loves this movie so I decided to buy it for our anniversary. I happened to see this Limited Collector's Edition and thought it had extra "Behind the Scenes" stuff on the DVD or something like that. When the package arrived, it was a 3-inch thick box that contains the movie and themed merchandise. One item is Allie and Noah's "scrapbook" which has scenes from the movie in it, and has blank pages at the end for you to put your own memories in. It comes with stickers etc to help you out with that. The Scrapbook also doubles as the DVD case. There are also several bookmarks and other things. We were surprised, as this was quite different than we were expecting. My wife does like using the bookmarks, and used the stickers in our own scrapbook, but the biggest drawback is the large size of the box -- it takes up a lot of space on our movie shelf. Even if we wanted to take the scrapbook "case" out of the box and store that on the shelf, it is sized differently than a standard DVD case and doesn't fit well. The movie is exactly like the regular edition -- no extra features at all on the disk. The only difference with this Limited Collector's Edition is the larger box that contains the extra merchandise.Read full review

My wife loves this movie, and the gift set was perfect as a gift for her. She absolutely loves the scrapbook and music CD. The movie is a very good, based upon a classic plot of Romeo & Juliet in a modern setting. Great acting and cinematography. The gift set is perfect for any fan of this movie. It adds elements of "personalizing" the movie with writing your own "Notebook" love story in the scrapbook and notebook. If your thinking of purchasing the DVD, then I highly recommend going for the gift set.
Great movie.
