I remember the red box set, but I do vaguely remember an early Rocky release in a snapper case. Only the first film, but I'm probably wrong.

There are also different configurations of that box set: the ones with the bare-bones Rocky, the ones with the Rocky SE, and various combos with or without the silent anamorphic upgrade/Russian subtitle fix to Rocky IV.
Man, I wish they'd just get it right once and for all. All 5 (soon to be 6) films in anamorphic widescreen, single-sided discs with full disc art, and at least a commentary and making-of featurette for each of the sequels. Why is that so damn hard?

Forgot to mention that the Suncoast I went to this past Tuesday already had copies of this. Full price though, as expected.
As a boxing fan, I'm interested to hear what Bert & Duva have to say on the new commentary.

oh and BTW, I watched Rocky last week and the scene with Rock and Mick in Rocky's apt., the DTS track during tha scene is out of sync! Didn't notice it before, either because of beer or I watched in DD...

Isn't some of the video framed different on the previous releases? I have the old "Special Edition" and I thought it was framed a bit differently than the single disc that came with the last Anthology set. If so, which framing does this 2-disc set use?

i dont think there is a DTS track on the new 2 discer either. There was one on the Anthology set though. There arent any deleted scenes or extended ed. of the movie on the new release correct?

Figure with movie ticket prices around or near $10 bucks about $5 to $6 bucks more for the DVD, which makes it worth it for the movie ticket alone.
