The Vampire Diaries - Season 3 - DVD & Blu-Ray Announced

The 3rd season of "The Vampire Diaries" has been officially announced for release on DVD and Blu-Ray on August 28, 2012. The DVD contains 5 discs with all season 3 episodes, alongside a bunch of bonus features. It will cost $59.98. The Blu-Ray version contains 9 discs; it's a combo-pack with the DVDs, the BDs AND the UltraViolet digital downloads of all season 3 episodes! Priced at $69.96, it contains the same bonus features as the individual DVD release. At the bottom you can find both cover arts, and here is a list of the extras on both sets:

- Pages of the Wolf: 3 Featurettes - The Myth & The Mystery (Werewolf Lore), Building the Beasts (Working with Actual and Mechanical Wolves) and Howling at the Moon (Michael Trevino's Transformative Makeup Process)
- Her Own Worst Enemy...Elena, Catherine and Nina!: Nina Dobrev Rises to the Challenge of Playing Two Roles

EDIT: Thanks to one of our readers, Janey Lourenco, for letting me know that the extras listed above may be incorrect as they are the same as on the season 2 set. I will make a new post when the new info becomes available!
