Hmm, the only thing I want there is the extended version of reloaded, will that be sold seperately?

MrDisco's list is out of date, there is no extended version of Reloaded. The 55 minutes of extra footage is on the extra features disk.

Ah, screw that then, I'm fine with the disc's I have.

Okay great, but what about LOTR:ROTK? I have not heard or read of any confirmation of the 4 disc "book" version coming out yet and it is pretty much Oct now. What's the deal? I do not have Matrix yet, so I guess I'll get the boxset, though I don't see the logic in 55 min of unreleased Reloaded footage on a bonus disc and not incorporated into the movie; doesn't make sense.

Still worth it though...

Well, the main reason is that the Wachowski Brothers (although you can't really call them that anymore..) were happy with the original cuts as they were the movies they way they intended to be.

The 55 minutes of footage was all the scenes filmed for the video game, so they may not necessarily work that well if they were just spliced into the movie.

What inside joke am I missing here? And will they finally cop to ripping off Megazone 23 on their "influences" disc? :)

Mr. Disco, that's still very excessive for a Matrix boxset.

You get two versions of each film, which makes me say, "blah".

Heh... and 5 different versions of the "Robotech Saga" isn't?

:p

Why on Earth would anyone complain about 10 discs for under $60? The Star Wars set sold 115 million dollars worth in one day. For around the same price, with far, far less to enjoy on the 4 DVDs.

I say it's pretty smart marketing to give people too much, rather than not enough.

I've heard 12/7 at first, but now most sites report 12/14. Still no one online allowing pre-orders though.

Yup...12/14 is the date:

is that before or after she/he start looking like a chick?

That would be somewhere in the middle, from what I've heard.

As odd as it may be, I still don't see how this guy's gender issues are to blame for the two sequels' going astray and basically losing the fanbase. You can chalk that one up to bad storytelling and lack of inventiveness.

This isn't to say they're bad films, but I know very few people that don't think the first movie is leagues better than its sequels.

I didn't for the first two Extended Cuts, but I will buy the giftset for RotK. Love that Minas Tirith.

Here's the Collector's set:

There's a Minas Morgul that accompanies that Minas Tirith... you have to send away for it. The certificate should be in the box... unfortunately I can't find the pic I took of it from SDCC. :(

That's awesome. Did you see how much the Minas Morgul would be?

I tried to squeeze that info out of the guy at the con, he was clueless, he diverted me by introducing me to the sculptor of the bigatures for the movie, which was awesome...

The Minas Morgul is a perfect companion, it looks just like the Minas Tirith but its darker, and she did say they were bookends...

I found a pic!!!

Here's an even better one...
