"The Omen: The Complete Collection" October 17th
According to www.dvdactive.com:
Title: The Omen: The Complete Collection
Starring: Gregory Peck
Released: 17th October 2006
SRP: $49.98
Further Details:
Fox Home Video has announced the release of The Omen: The Complete Collection, which will be available on the 17th of October at a retail price of right around $49.98. The six-disc set will contain all five Omen films, which includes The Omen, Omen II: Damien, Omen III: The Final Conflict, Omen IV: The Awakening, and the 2006 remake of the first film. The original film will be represented in the collection by the recently released two-disc collector's edition, while the disc containing the remake will be identical to the disc that will also be available separately on the 17th. The other three films in the series look to be identical to those that were released a few years ago, with Damien and The Final Conflict each containing a commentary track and trailers. If anything changes we'll let you know, but in the meantime stay tuned for the artwork.

Thanks for the news. I have the soon-to-be old set, without the remake, and I think that's where I'm going to leave it. I didn't see the remake, but I'll probably end up renting it. I'm still considering whether or not to get the 2-Disc set of the original, which I'm a big fan of.

I'm not a huge fan of any of the sequels... but that's a pretty amazing deal. I dropped something in the neighborhood of $20 for the 2-disc edition. It looks like for about $10 more than that (with some creative shopping), I'd be able to get 4 more films. Makes me a little pissed that I rushed out to buy the 2-disc now.

Not sure what to think of it yet. Would be an awesome deal if you didn't have the already released set. But since I do...not sure this upgrade is worth it. Of course, I'd be getting the 2 disc special of the original Omen, and the new one. I've always had my eye on the foreign one that folds out into the cross shape, and I believe one had the Omen Legacy Documentary included?? (Interesting DVD BTW)

Glad I resisted getting that 2-disc release. Never seen the sequels, but I'll drop $30-35 for this set.

You know, i'm not a fan of the movies, but that is a very good price for what you're getting, considering you are getting the new SE of the orginial Omen + the 2006 version included. At $30-35 on new release week, that is a steal.

I was hoping for this, and not buying any of the Omen movies because of it. Ever since I heard that they were doing an Omen remake, I knew this was on the way. Glad to see my patience paid off!

I to am glad I resisted getting the 2-disc release. With FOX, your better off waiting a few months. I have made the mistake before and refuse to make it again. This is a super deal and even more super if thats possible since I waited.

I'm in the same boat, having bought the 2 disc Omen set last month. Oh well. Time to sell it back for credit towards the Complete Set. With the discounts that shops have when dvds are newly released, I expect to pay $39.99, minus the sellback credit for the 2 disc, and that's not bad at all for all of those movies.
Looking at the bright side,

I was about to pick up the box set at Wal Mart for $34.99. However, they didn't have any that were not all smashed up. Around the corner they had a display of the 2006 version with a bonus disc. I decided to pass on the box set and get the remake with the bonus disc.

I really hope you already own the original otherwise you've made a huge mistake! :P Will eventually pick up the boxset, but the only place I found it at today didn't have it on sale at all and a few other stores didn't get it in stock yet.

I already own the original boxset. I was going to get the new one so I could have them all in 1 fancy package. Right now they are lined up on my shelf as follows. Original Box, 2 Disc Original, 2006 Version, 2006 Bonus Disc.

I've finally seen it live. I don't know how it's packaged inside (it's covered in cardboard on all sides), but I don't think it's thinpaks. It's disappointingly chunky. It may even be individual keepcases inside.
