Wait for Matrix Trilogy box set?
Are you planning on purchasing the Matrix Reloaded DVD on Oct 14, or will you wait for a potential super-mega collector's edition box set? Has anyone heard anything about a set, or a re-release of the original?

First question that went through my head when I saw DVDtalk's front page today!
My guess, only THE MATRIX will receive an upgrade for the sure-to-be-released box set next year; RELOADED and REVOLUTIONS will simply be re-packages.
Hope, i'm right!

But don't you think the hype will die down by then? A box set would, IMO, sell much better on the cuff of the DVD release of Matrix Revolutions.

The Matrix is enormously popular (yep obvious statement ). It would sell if they waited 3 years.
Hell we waited years for Indiana Jones and Back to the Future and I'm pretty sure they're/will be selling well.

Yeah but Indy and BTTF were never available on DVD before the box sets were released. Plus those were classics... I think this is a different situation.

A trilogy box set is inevitable and I'm even holding off buying Animatrix in case there's a box set with that included. And out by Christmastime in the DVD release world means mid-October to early November.

I see no reason to wait a year (or longer). Who knows? The Matrix is still a top selling DVD, Warner may milk these initial releases for years...Reloaded is a double disc set, supposedly in an amaray case, Revolutions almost certainly will, too. IF/when The original Matrix gets double dipped, there is no way Warner would make it exclusive to the boxed set, anyways..... I won't deprive myself these movies just for a cardboard box.
I spend tons of money on DVDs, virtually all of you guys do too (most of you probably spend more) Why wait a year(s) to save a few dollars to avoid a double dip (IF Warner does something special the second time around) Especially since it is commonplace to offer rebates for double dip[s anyways...

There's nothing too bad about it, but compared to many newer transfers, it's not quite as sharp, clear, or etc.

The problem is Warner's had yet to release a worthwhile box set. If they release abox and I can get all the contents separately, I'm not sure how willing I'll be to get th box.
