Today’s the day, people. The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Second Season is now available at your favourite local store, online, and probably at the end of rainbows.

We’d planned on posting this earlier, but have been waiting a bit to try and work out just what on earth has been going on with that danged Target bonus disc. We’re still not entirely sure, and poor Kate is a gibbering wreck who flinches at the sight of bonus discs now, but we can hazard a guess. As far as we can tell now, the bonus disc comes with both the DVD and the Blu-ray. Early reports suggested that the Blu-ray edition didn’t come with a bonus disc, but we think what may have happened there is that some people were getting the regular edition from Target and so missed out on the bonus disc. We have no idea if this is a nationwide thing or just a few stores, but we do know it’s possible to get the bonus disc on both DVD and Blu-ray from Target. Just check carefully to see what you’re getting – there should be a sticker on the front to let you know. THE BONUS DISC IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN STORES, NOT ONLINE.

Also, on a related note, we’ve heard some reports that some stores in areas that were affected by Hurricane Irene hadn’t had deliveries yet. They’ll get there eventually!

Added by Kate: We’d held off on posting this, too, because of all the confusion, but I have now confirmed with my own eyes that the Target bonus disc is the 2010 Comic-Con panel Q&A (moderated by Marcos Siega), nicely edited with clips from both seasons one and two interspersed. After the panel, there’s a really nice series of clips in which Kevin, Julie, and the cast thank the fans for their support. And, as commenter Rebeccastar points out, the U.S. version does come with a booklet, unlike the U.K. version.

Added by Red: There’s been some confusion over this, so for the sake of international fans, Target is a chain of stores in the USA. The bonus disc is an extra for customers buying from Target stores and not available elsewhere.

Added by Kate: Some sets sold at HMV in Canada have the disc as well.

We’re feeling all sorts of nostalgia right now with the chatter/photos coming out of Covington, Georgia – season finale filming is almost done. You’ll notice we haven’t been blogging said photos or some of the recent finale spoilers. This was a judgement call on our part. The photos are spoilery and showcasing them here on the front page of the site seemed unfair to those who really want to be surprised by what’s coming. That being said, if you eat spoilers for breakfast, it’s a total free-for-all in the Spoiler Zone of our forums. But keep in mind: Take everything with a grain of salt.

As we tweeted this morning, The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season is available for pre-order on DVD and Blu-Ray. The U.S. Amazon store has had a Vampire Diaries DVD pre-order listing for a while, but the Blu-Ray listing seems to be a recent addition. Still no concrete release date or U.S. cover art but we expect that will be surfacing soon. For those who asked about the pricing – as Craig pointed out, Amazon has a pre-order price guarantee. If the price drops before the item ships, Amazon honors the lower price.

U.S. DVD PRE-ORDER | U.S. BLU-RAY PRE-ORDER | U.K. DVD PRE-ORDER

You’ll notice the U.K. listing features cover art – we don’t know for 100% certain that it’s legit. We’ll clarify as soon as we know for certain.
