2 more months? You didn't graduate high school did you?
and in 2 months, the movies i do want will have their own cases (i'm sure the Quad set will be some sort of digi-pak).

Great to hear that the 9th disc will include all of the supplements from the laserdisc boxes (those didn't all make the transition to DVD in the previous version).
So, the commentary track on the current Alien DVD will not be included? Right?
Anything else (besides the Alien Legacy 5th disc) that isn't making it into this set?

edit: also the Alien isolated score. Hmm...I may have to hold on to that disc.

I think I am going to skip the box...and just pick up Aliens when it gets released.
I saw the Alien: Directors Cut and it isn't that special. A lot of the Alien art is already on the Alien disc.
The bonus disc doesn't look that meaty - Alien Saga and Legacy are not included. I could care less about the Dark Horse comic covers.

So DTS is included only on the first and fourth(which I've erased from my memory) Alien films? I'm surprised Aliens didn't get the same treatment. Oh well, at least I can finally own the theatrical cut of that movie.
I don't like the fact that the trailers are on the 9th disc. I don't wanna get the box set since I hate the third and fourth flicks(which they never made, BTW!!!), but I also love the ads they put together for the Alien series. What am I supposed to do?!

No involvement whatsoever from David Fincher? His commentaries on Fight Club and Seven were awesome...Also, I would rather have Cameron's commentary be by itself, or with maybe one or two other people...the one listed sounds like a cut and paste interview-type "commentary" that was used for T2 UE...
Still it's impossible not to read those specs and drool...

Looks to be a nice set. Too bad the old features from the current discs weren't ported over.
Still no pre-orders on this bad-boy. What are eTailers waiting for?

Will this set outsell Indy??
1. These movies do not have the universal appeal of the Indy movies.
2. The violence will keep a lot of family oriented buyers away.
3. The list price is a lot higher.
4. With the movies being available separately, a lot of people will only buy the ones they really like (there are an awful lot of people who only like the first two).
Bottom line: I'll be surprised if this sells 1/10 as many copies as the Indy set.

I guess the real question in my mind is what is on the 9th disc. So far, the digitalbits stuff looks good, but I wouldn't mind picking up Alien and Aliens seperately and leaving the rest in dust. I really can't stand Alien3 and Alien4, so those would be sitting on my shelf with 0 viewings.
