which Matrix boxset are you buying?
 

subject says it all, which one are you buying and why? Price seems a little steep for the one w/ bust, but the case / organization is pretty spiffy too.

Probably just the Regular 10 Disc Set. The Gift Set looks nice, but it also looks fragile and easily breakable.

I'm going with the regular version. The bust looks cheap and the book doesn't do much for me.

I'll buy whichever one only contains the first movie. No sequels, no cartoons.

The 10 disk "regular" edition. I don't like that plastic thing that the bust comes in.

10 disk giftset without the Ted Logan bust.

Whichever one BBV carries to use my credit on!

Then you might as well hold onto the first release. :)

regular one...I don't like big cumbersome custom cases.

Regular set for me as well.

Non Bust Version

Non Boob set for me as well.

Non bust version.

"neither" would have been better than whining

You don't understand. He is PixyJunket, whenever The Matrix is mentioned he has to post how much the sequels suck.

Oh and BTW he's right.

Get off your high horse. The cartoons are good.

Hmm.. all I said was that I wanted just the SE of the first movie.

Where is the high horse, the whining, or the declaration of suck in that statement?

PixyJunket: it would seem that you need to buy the "The Matrix/The Matrix Revisited" two-pack that's been out since Feb. 2004?

To everybody else: looks like nobody's forking out the extra $35, not surprising... I'm also getting the "regular" box set w/out the bust.

Getting the regular box set. The bust is cool, but if i really wanted it i could buy it on Ebay for around 30 bucks. I dislike the clear plastic case that it comes in.

I'm with Pixy on this. All I need is an SE of the first film, that's all.

Non-bust for me. The bust is good in concept but poor in excecution. The same goes for the packaging in the bust set (it all looks too fragile).

So regular ten disc set for me.

Regular... I have no problem with the bust itself, but I hate the packaging on the special. Already sold all my old discs in anticipation of the new Matrix. :)

Regular set for me as well.

just the 10-disc set. No need for the bust for me.

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

Im getting the bust set at amazon. I was able to use the 20 dollar off coupon that amazon let slip for a brief night in october to order it.

Thanks for the comparison shots. Big difference :)

Huge difference....

10 disk set for me.

Regular set for me.

I was surprised that it would be such a huge difference. It's like night and day.

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.

Personally I think the bust is useless. It looks terrible.

I wanted to add that IGN has the first part of their review up.

10 disc version with my eyes closed. I forgot about this! I think Matrix Reloaded is da-bomb!!!

I'm all over the 10-disc. Don't need the bust. It doesn't look that cool, but I'm also not really into the super-duper gift sets. Just give me the discs.

OMGOOOOODness! What a HUGE difference in terms of picture quality of Matrix 1! :eek:

I got the money give me the discs!

The regular version, though I really want to know what the 80 page book in the LE set is all about.

And WOW at those remastered Matrix Screens

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

The pictures appear to show seperate digipaks, so each movie has their own little case and a seperate one for the extras discs.
