It will be unbelievable if they manage to botch this release again. They should all be anamorphic with improved transfers downconverted from HD, single-sided discs with full color artwork, and featuring quality extras for each individual film. Anything less than that, and they're just pissing in our faces.

The picture quality on the anthology before wasn't bad. It wasn't as good as it could have been compared to 'now's standards but it's not bad enough for me to want to double dip on it.

But no extras to speak of. That was my point. In order to justify another box set release they need to meet all of those requirements. Otherwise, there's no reason for any of us who own the previous Anthology set to upgrade on anything more than just Rocky I. My complaint is that they've had 3 opportunities to get it right so far and have failed every time. The Rocky franchise deserves better treatment. The original is an American classic and the first 3 sequels were monsters at the box office. There should be a box set to match. The Anthology set should have been it. So now they've worn out my patience and if they want any more of my money, they need to meet those 3 conditions at a minimum. Otherwise, no dice.

I think the guy who posed that question realized that they were transferred from an HD source, geniuses. In a forum about DVD's, I think that's pretty self explanatory... especially to a senior member.

Rocky CE (R1) in December
Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Rocky (Collector’s Edition) for 5th December 2006 priced at $26.98 SRP. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards and winner for Best Picture, Rocky is the film that inspired a nation and is now returning to DVD complete with all new bonus features.

Why do they keep releasing new boxsets, without extras for the sequels? Doesn't the studio realize how popular they were/are? It's a total rip-off. Once again, no sale. Maybe next time, they'll get it right, and also have all six together.

I'm sure they will release yet another box set next year to include Rocky Balboa, which I hope then it will contain special features for the sequels.
