(DEAD) Alien Quadrilogy @ Amazon $20.49
Hi All! This has been sitting in my cart for months. I happened to notice today that is was $20.49. Picked up a copy finally!
Hurry on this. Not sure how long it will last at that price. I wasn't sure if I could post a link to amazon so just do search for Alien in dvd and it should come right up! Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!

Uhh, now that is a GOOD deal. I got FUBAR'd on this one because I ordered it from DD a week or so ago. Damn it.

I like Alien, I loved Aliens, but in my world, the 3rd and 4th films don't exist.

I ordered this tonight (mentioned it in the Amazon thread, too), but I just have to say how excited I am to watch these again. It's been a long time since I've seen any of them, and certainly a long time since seeing them uncut. I remember CBS running Aliens with the extra scenes, and I'm curious to see this Alien3 alternative version.

Plus, even if you don't like Alien^3 you should watch the documentary, in which pretty much everyone involved acknowledges that the film sucks and explains what went wrong. It's actually quite fascinating. There's also an alternate cut of the film (indeed, of all the films) that, while still not a great movie, is a major improvement.

I used these tactics to solve a dilemma when I broke down and bought Escape from Alcatraz for $14.99 and subsequently found one at Wal Mart for $5.50. I'm sure someone is going to tell me how morally corrupt this is, but it also isn't fair getting stiffed when there is a better price to be found.

oh my god, if you have to even ask that question, i worry about you. It's $20.00 bucks for what 5-6 films? Considering you can't even buy one for under $10 bucks, I don't think you'd be out that much.

Finally hit the sweet spot. I've actually never seen any of the Alien films- almost bought the first one a while back. Glad to be able to check 'em out at this price.

Man I am so tempted to pick this up but I've really curbtailed my SDVD spending since I started buying BD and Hd-dvd. I would hate to buy this set and then have Fox release them on BD next year or so.
