Since it appears to be a MSRP drop, I'm going to wait until the DDD sale.. if they sell out, I can always get it from Amazon or Overstock or probably a bunch of other places. Great deal! This may be half my X-mas presents to people!

The packaging is different. The LE is a transparent plastic display case with drawer like trays holding each of the 10 discs and the LE booklet on the left side of the case, and the Neo bust on the right side.
The non-LE is a digi-boxset like the Godfather collection, except every 2 discs are partially overlapping each other.

Yea, but 9 out of 10 times, if you wait, the deal is gone. I jumped on this too, so don't feel too bad.

Yeah, for storage purposes, you might just want to order the non-LE version. But if you got no shelf space problem, the LE is a good choice. I will have my set to be displayed with the Matrix action figures made by McFarlane Toys.

I absolutely hate the non-LE packaging. The overlapping discs annoys the hell out of me, and the cases that hold the movies are cheap cardboard. I plan on getting the LE during the DDD sale and selling my old set.

I actually like the non-LE better. The outer box is sturdy and I like the design of it too. The inner cases is made out of of same material as most digi-pak, so Im ok with it. But the individual cases have great cover arts which the LE version lack.
The LE version is great in that you can take out the discs more easily, but thats about it in my opinion. I hate the look of the bust, and I don't like the clear case - while its very sturdy, its just too plain, empty - I prefer artworks.
Anyway, I already own the non-LE version. But if the LE version is available during DDD sale, I might get it too. The price is too good to pass.

Well this is not a price mistake and I have clarification for you. Both sets are getting a MSRP drop next week from WHV. THe Limited Edition with bust is going from 129.99 to 39.99 and is a sell throught which will be going OOP when stock is disolved. The regular box set is going from 69.99 to 52.99. It will be cheaper to get the head bust set, and it will be the more limited of the two.
Take into consideration that this is a sell through price. So if you wait for the DDD sale and they go out of stock, their is a chance that WHV will not replenish their stock.
