They have screenshots comparing the old and new transfer of the first matrix.

I'd like to get the bust but the case is really really REALLY lame. Didn't they even look at LOTR EE, Hellboy or the Monster Legacy gift boxes?
THAT'S how you package a bust with a nice DVD set.
Regular set for me.

Does anyone know if the regular 10 disc set comes in thin cases? 10 keepcases in a box is pretty fat!

I'm torn. The design on the LE set is quite cool, but like everyone else, I'm wary of how it will hold up, and the bust looks bad...
Fuck it. Set w/o bust for me.

The issue was that the first was made without any thought of sequals. So when the sequals were made, and they set the color-timing to certain colors, green in The Matrix, blue for real life, the original film didn't have this color-timing and so the W Bros. went back and re-color timed the original to fit in with the sequals. Quite frankly, I'm glad they did. This was one aspect that I couldn't get past when trying to watch the original after having seen the sequals.
As for the better transfer, I couldn't be happier with that as well. When I first bought my original Matrix DVD, I thought it was a bad copy because I couldn't get over the amount of grain in the transfer in dark scenes (which was a good majority of the film).
Having this new "Holy" Trilogy in such a manner (in this 10-disc box set) is going to be a joy owning.
