Alien Quadrilogy $39.97 shipped at amazon
 

so tempting...do you guys think this is the best deal currently going for the set?

According to DVD Price Search, it is the best current deal. However, I've seen it for as little as $30 at Costco during one of their instant rebate sales.:)

It used to be cheap used at Wherehouse.com, but now it's $38 used. This would probably be the best price.

Considering DDD just raised their price on the set from $47.87 to $55.85, even if the you-know-what happens you-know-when, the new amazon price will still be the way to go.

I had the set, and this is a great price, but I ended up selling it because I HATED the packaging...... When the whole set is unfolded it's like over 6 feet long! Very unweildy and breakable. I sold it, paid a bit more at a certain 20% off sale and got the individual dual disc releases. Just my .02

Alien Quadrilogy is one of those releases that i've always wanted to buy but never did.with this awsome price, i couldn't resist.i ordered it the other day and they the shipped it today.

Dfriedland -- Doesn't the box set have an extra disc though?

Wow. DVD prices are really dropping these days...

It does indeed. A bonus 9th disc.

The box does have an extra disc that the individual releases do not include, but I agree that the packaging is a pain. Also, given the chances of finding a used copy at Wherehouse, etc. that has all of the discs in good shape, includes the booklet, doesn't have any broken hubs or tears, etc., I would rather throw out an extra $8 and get a sealed copy.

Btw. I have the R2 Alien Anthology set with the 5th bonus disc. I''m seriously considering this though. Worth getting even if I have the old release? If so, worth keeping the old release? The 2 releases seems to have separate special features.
