I'm looking to get some or all of the X-Men dvd's from either DP or DDD with the 20% sale.

There are a lot of dvd's out there (Triology, Steelbook, regular versions...)
Which dvd's do you recommend ?

I haven't seen any of them (except for parts of X1 and X2) on cable. I heard the 3rd one wasn't too good.

My recommendation:

- Get the X-Men 1.5 steelbook dvd (a Best Buy exclusive though). This is the best version of the film in a 2-disc set and a nice steelbook case. If you really don't want to buy from Best Buy, just go with the regular version of 1.5 in the digipak packaging (exactly the same except for the packaging).
- Get the X2 steelbook dvd (available everywhere). This is also the best version of the film in a 2-disc set and a nice steelbook case. The regular 2-disc edition of X2 is exactly the same, just not packaged in steelbook. Be careful though, as there were 1-disc editions of X2 subsequently released, and it may not be easy to differentiate from the 2-disc release.
- Get any version of the X3 dvd. AFAIK the "Collector's Edition" is just the basic 1-disc with the addition of a comic, *not* a second disc. If you can manage to track it down, try to find the Future Shop exclusive steelbook edition of the 1-disc. Probably have to resort to Ebay at this point though.

** Avoid the trilogy 3-pack. AFAIK it includes the 1-disc edition of all 3 movies, which is the only version available for X3, but for the first two you really want the 2-disc editions. **

I bought the X trilogy on sale for $17.99 online a few months ago thinking i wouldnt mind the 1 disc editions. Just sold it hoping for a better set in the future when Wolvie comes out to theatres. Id go for the steelbooks if you want the best out there now.

Struz

Thank you very much Yavin !

That's great to hear because I will take my receipt in to get the discount.

Yavin

Glad to be of assistance!

Struz

One more question.

Which film's (1 or 2) ending takes place at the Staue of Liberty ?

Yavin

That would be the first film.

Struz

Thanks again.

honestly you should wait on X-3, ive waited almost a year now. i kno that as soon as i buy it a 2 disc will be announced

And for what it's worth, steelbooks are hot items, very much in demand. Definitely have the best re-sale value, especially the exclusive ones. I do not care myself about the X-Men 1.5 steelbook, but I know it's going to be a collectible item since it's an exclusive and the print-run is probably not that high, so I'll always be able to unload it for something on my want list if I don't want it anymore.

I've held off for the same reason, and now I'm waiting for the inevitable steelbook presentation to go along with 1.5 and 2.

Sale is available right now online. Just bought 1 for myself with in store pickup - shows as available at all stores in my zip code (after my confirmation pickup email, the store I bought it at went unavailable at that location, so inventory might be small)

16.99 + tax

Id get the X-men Collection which is a 4 disc set that collects X-men and X2.

Defiant1

I have the R3 version of X3 and it's a 2-disc SE, which I think will eventually be released for R1.

The Comedian

Is there anybody here with the X-Men 3 steelbook case willing to sell it? I've been searching Craigslist and eBay and Yielded no results. I'm only looking to purchase the case, and will provide my standard WS case in exchange along with paymnt, but I will purchase it with the disc if necessary.

You'd do better by posting your request in our DVD Exchange Forum.

The Comedian

Thanks for the help, it's been a real B****h trying to get my hands on this case.

Macho King

Hey brothers, Macho King's been looking for a steelbook edition of X2 so where's the best place to find it brothers?


Oooooh Yeeeaaaaah!!!!! DIG IT!!!!

Music

Oh no... you didn't!!!!

MGR

If they've already got the extra material produced and released elsewhere, I wonder what's the hold up in putting out the R1 X-3 2-disc DVD ?

The Comedian

Waiting for the Wolverine Film to be released as a Tie-In perhaps?

DarkEyes

i just got back from my local Bestbuy and they had X-men 1.5 steelbook marked wrong for $14.99 and x-men 2 steelbook for $14.99 and they had to give it to me for that price... unless its a sale they are having but was last one they had in the 1.5, she was trying to say that they cant sell it to me for that price because its a limited edition case.. i said bull crap.....

thanks to this site about it only being at bestbuy...
