Re: James Bond Update
As long as they keep producing movies, there is no such thing as a COMPLETE collection. Unless it contains Skyfall, it's already out of date.

Re: James Bond Update
I'd virtually guerantee that they will release these as they always have. In 3 or 4 box sets that mix classic Connery with 2 or 3 stinkers. Followed up 3 years from now with individual releases.

Re: James Bond Update
Why don't we wait at least until Skyfall has been made before calling a release without it incomplete. It would be pretty tough, even for the best Blu-ray distributor, to include a movie that's still in the middle of principal photography.

Re: James Bond Update
All I can say is thank God Paramount backed away...I can't imagine anything worse than them releasing Bond on Blu-ray - which would probably either be barebones, or archived non-HD extras.

Re: James Bond Update
Since I have none of them on blu, I welcome a full set, which is what I'd want anyway. By definition, it will probably be a decent sized box, but hopefully not a misshapen one that won't fit on my shelf. That will force my hand on only buying individual titles.

Re: James Bond Update
The complete box set is kind of tempting but I've got quite a few on Blu-ray already (Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Man with the Golden Gun, Casino Royale, and Quantum of Solace). Plus with Bond a complete set is probably never going to be complete since they keep making new ones and I assume will continue to for quite some time. Maybe if the price was right I'd consider it.

Re: James Bond Update
The Blu-ray releases have always had the small box sets along with them available individually at the same time though. Not sure where your 3 years from now thing is coming from, unless i'm misunderstanding you.

Re: James Bond Update
It's on blu-ray.com as well. Definitely happening.

The missing titles are why I never bought any of them on BD. Heck, I still haven't gone through everything on the ultimate DVD sets.
The $240 price tag, if true, is not as high as expected considering the number of films.
When someone has it for around $160-$170, then I go for it.

Re: James Bond Update
I never bought any of the current Blu-rays, and I acquired all of the remastered DVD editions when Circuit City had that ridiculous sale on all 4 volumes at something like $15 a piece. I'd buy this set if I can get it for under $150.

Re: James Bond Update
13 Bond films already released on Blu ray.
If I buy the other remaining 9 films.
9 x $15.99 = $143.91 (just a guesstimate for the price for each film. It could be more or less.)
If I order this for £89.99. (The Price could go down by October).
http://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Bond-C...6236612&sr=1-3
It cost $120.88 USD at Amazon UK for all 22 films.

Re: James Bond Update
That's a great looking set.
I'm assuming that most of the extras will be imported from the DVDs. I wonder if they will be in HD or just imported as SD. But the story did say some new extras are being created for this set.
