TheJoker

That is indeed the disc....

TomOpus

Ok, cool. I looked on the disc and there wasn't any indication if it was Best Buy so I wasn't sure. So many years, so many discs....

animatedude

the most annoyingly unnecessary major release of the last decade.

LoPan5705

Great. Thanks. How is the Raiders doc thats on it?

Rooked

About 10 minutes long and not particularly noteworthy.

TheJoker

Yeah, a lot of the clips form that disc were reused in the documentaries already. But still nice to have

Matt

Here. This one's better, but not by much:

The designers went all out on the spine art there. Also, stark white is exactly what comes to mind when I think of the Indiana Jones trilogy.

fumanstan

I don't know about that. There's been far more worthless re-releases.

canaryfarmer

I don't know, especially when you know that it's all going to be re-released AGAIN later this year when Skull comes out on dvd. This re-release is a waste of time, when there's a 4 movie set coming out less than a year later.

dvd_luver

I still plan on sticking with the 2003 pressing, that looks great, but I am already Indyed out by that boxset.

CertifiedTHX

I see no reason to assume we will get a four-film set with the release of Crystal Skull. We know a complete set will be produced at some point, like we will one day get our hands on a six-film set of Star Wars. But I suspect Crystal Skull will get its own release for now, and maybe a year or so down the line will come news of the ultimate Indiana Jones collection coming to DVD and Blu-ray.

With regard to The Adventure Collection, I'm tempted. The white background works for me. Whoever designed it may have figured they needed to differentiate it from the 2003 set. If the new supplements are substantial and interesting, that might seal the deal. But they sound more like fluff, and I have a hard time shelling out $35 - $40 for little more than a couple new featurettes.

I'm guessing it might come with a coupon for the new movie. Although I'm not sure if they do movie cash for the "guaranteed money maker" movies.

TomOpus

Didn't they have movie cash for "Return of the King"?

Hal

back covers:

Indiana Jones Lost Ark

Indiana Jones Temple of Doom

Indiana Jones Last Crusade

GreenVulture

Ah, what the hell, I'll get the rerelease set. I know a couple of pages ago I was bitching about the missing fourth disc with the 2-hour documentary, but I recently just got that for about $4 used, so I really can't see any reason not to get this new set.

JeremyM

The Princess Bride is on lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 for ya.....

Living Deadpan

Yeesh. Which do you care about more, movies or boxes?

Robert

Thats a big help to those of us in Region 1 buying the English version.

GreenVulture

The extra features have already been listed in this thread and it's safe to say the R1 back covers will look exactly the same aside from the Spanish-to-English translation. What exactly are you looking for?

Living Deadpan

For those who haven't seen the special features: http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/03/03/in...y-dvd-release/

Certainly doesn't warrant an upgrade, imo. Am I the only one who was satisfied with the documentary on the 2003 box set? Commentary would've been overkill (and overlap, likely).

These re-releases seem designed to promote the new video game.

GreenVulture

I'm pretty sure these rereleases are designed to promote the new movie. Hell, they even mention the cast of Crystal Skull in some of the bonus features.

Yeah, there's a demo of the new game, but people forget that the Star Wars box set also had a game demo. And if it's anything like Lego Star Wars, the Lego Indy Jones game is going to be a lot of fun.

gcbma

No thanks, not worth a double-dip. Though I wish "Raiders" was available as a single release first go-round, since I don't care much for the later two films in the series. I would double dip on a single release of "Raiders" *when* there is a commentary included. Don't care about having Spielberg do the commentary since he apparently has psychological problems with doing such things; I would be satisfied with Lucas and/or enthusiastic film historians/critics.

honestjohn

Well I was sitting on the fence trying to decide whether to get the new or old set for me and my son who has never seen any of them. While looking around for the best deals on both I came across a pretty good deal on the older set for $27.19 shipped at Barnes & Noble using a 25% coupon which is good until 4/29. If anyone wants the older set here's a link and the coupon code ....

http://video.barnesandnoble.com/sear...an=97360612547

25% Off - H8A9D3Y

Also note once coupon is applied you lose free shipping because it only applies to orders over $25. Still comes out to only $27.19 though with shipping and tax.

OldBoy

i'll get this simply for the SteelBook.
