The box is great looking with the Platinum Geiger artwork of the Alien
The disc of Alien is tremendous -anamorphic 5.1 deleted scenes isolated score and alot more. can't see them doing this much better and if they do something from this disc will be missin.
Aliens is also a nice disc with a kicking soundtrack and 17 mins of restored Dir cut footage (good old Cameron)
The last 2 disc are weak in the extras department and need rereleasing but since they are the weakest in the series I am happy with just the films and featurettes.
The quality of the transfers on all the discs are exemplary as are the sound mixes.
I got this on sale at Costco without te 5th disc mail in but at a little over 10 bucks a disc this set was a bargain.
Must buy IMO, screw fox and their constant rereleasing, buy the movies and stick with them.
