Those that didn't like Alien 3 aren't even a little curious about how it is now in it's director's cut format?

You could always go for the R2 boxset instead. Very different packaging.
I prefer the R1 outer box and it's logo, but the R2 digipacks are much better (a la the DS9 sets).

What to do...

I figure it will be a 2 disc digipak like Fight Club.

I think I'm going to buy the boxset to get the bonus disc. Then buy Alien & Aliens to get the individual cases, then sell the box set minus the bonus disc.

Speaking of which, I just noticed there's a theatrical and directors cut on it. Is there a consensus yet on which is the better of the two?

Well, IMO opinion the theatrical cut is still the better of two because I did not care for the inclusion of the Dallas/Brett cocoon scene after Ripley has set the Nostromo to self-destruct. Up until that scene though, both versions were equally great. Bear in mind that Ridley Scott has gone on record saying that the 1979 cut IS his director's cut.
