Interactive DVD Game - HELP PLEASE

Hi Folks - a little help please.
We want to buy - "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" DVD game to play on the DVD and computer if possible.
There are two we think are the right choice:
1) Who Wants to be a Millionaire - 10th Anniversary Edition DVDi - This comes with 4 hand held multi choice buzzers.
2) Who wants to be a Millionaire DVD - there are no extras.
Our confusion is;
Which one do we need to be able to play on the DVD/TV and Computer ??
Where and how do you plug in the hand held buzzers, and would we have to unplug anything and reconfigure the DVD/TV ??
Would the straight game DVD (No2 above) be better ??
Sorry if this is very basic, but this is our first time of purchasing such a game.
Any HELP would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Re: Interactive DVD Game - HELP PLEASE

I'd imagine the interactive dvd game with no extras would play on both the dvd and computer, it would use the remote for dvd play and probably the arrow keys for pc use.

The other with the buzzers i have no idea, but i'd suspect that it is pc only at least as far as buzzer use is concerned, bear in mind also that when you have played these a few times questions tend to repeat themselves so i wouldn't be looking at playing them continuously for months on end anyway so maybe a solitary dvd player only title may be the best option?.

*Edit*

Apparently the general consensus around the web seems to indicate the buzzers are unrelaible and erratic not registering your answer and/or registering the wrong answer

Personally if this is the case i'd steer clear.
