Thinking of waiting for The Matrix Trilogy boxset
I'm a big Matrix fan, in fact, The Matrix was the first DVD I ever bought.
However, with The Matrix Reloaded DVD soon to be released, and The Matrix Revolutions so soon to be in theatres, thus resulting in a fairly quick DVD release, I'm thinking of skipping The Matrix Reloaded DVD, and just getting the Trilogy boxset.
What do you think? It's sure to have something extra, and probably look much cooler. Besides, I don't like the snapper the first DVD is in.
It probably won't be that long of a wait, I think I can endure it, for something better.
EDIT: This is also assuming that there will be a trilogy boxset.

No, we have no idea whether there will be a boxset. Even if there is, we don't know when it will be released, and what it will contain. It could be a year or more after Revolutions is released on DVD.

I am sure one day there will be, I have thought about this also, but for $15 with Reloaded and I am sure Revolutions comes out, i will get them both on release day.

I've heard unofficially that they're doing big special editions after the movie's finished, and that's why there's a lack of extras (worthwhile extras, that is) on the Reloaded disc. I'm waiting as well ...

I think that the box set will need an extra disc to allow for the rumored super-extended scene of Morpheus' Dance Party.
Be that as it may, I am getting the DVDs as they come out. Can't wait for Reloaded next week.

I don't own the animatrix either but that would be a good idea for warner to include it in the box.

I think there's a new trend of releasing a completely new set of extras on special edition re-issues (e.g. LOTR, reportedly Kill Bill), which makes the original release still attractive.

I already bought a disc full of Matrix extras. It is called The Matrix Revisted.
Honestly all I really care about is the quality of the video and audio. After that, extended scenes. And that's really about it.

The only thing I'd probably replace is the original Matrix if they come out with a keepcase of that. But other than that, I'm just going to buy these movies as they come out.

I'll pick up Reloaded already knowing that there will be a trilogy boxed set sometime in the future. My plan is just to sell off the individual titles and then buy the boxed set whenever it comes out.

I had the first DVD of The Matrix, but it got stolen. I've seen it plenty of times though, and I wasn't overly impressed with Reloaded, so I decided I'd just wait for the inevitable box set.

this is what i want
what im hoping for is that when they release revolutions they will release a boxset on the same day that will include:
Matrix SE
Matrix: Reloaded
Matrix: Revolutions
Animatrix
and a bonus disc with any more stuff that the wachowski's want to add to the set
Matrix SE would be that edition that was supposed to come out right before reloaded did but they pull it because they said it would spoil some of the stuff in the two sequels.

My roommate owned a copy of the original movie so I decided to wait to get it for my collection. Then he got married and moved out and now, whenever anybody asks me if I have a copy, I honestly can't remember if I ever bought one after he left. I guess that shows how important it is form me to have these movies as in my collection as soon as they have been released. 
P.S. - I just checked and, nope . . . I don't own it. Guess I'll just wait for the box set.

I'm definitely waiting for a trilogy boxset. One thing I hope it has the that first two releases don't is a commentary track from the Wachowskis. Their track on Bound was great until the actors started showing up. If the box had the 3 movies w/all their previous features, the commentary I mentioned, the Animatrix and Matrix Revisited that would be fine.
