All Kinds of DVD/Bluray Special Editions Coming From Warner Brothers
If there’s ever been a complaint from DVD collectors in the US, it’s that the good editions never come out here. Japan and the UK both got an amazing version of the Alien Quadrilogy stored in an alien head, Japan and the UK also got a really cool version of I Robot complete with a bust of Sonny that holds the discs, and Japan got the 6-disc Grindhouse experience. I’m the proud owner of the Korean Limited Edition Big Fish that is a little different than the US version. Why can’t we ever get good stuff like that here? Things have gotten better with the special releases of The Office and even the glorious Office Space box set, but we’ve still been getting the short end of the stick for years.
Apparently, those days are over. The Digital Bits put up an article about a bunch of uber-dvd sets that will be coming out, and they look amazing. If the Batman Begins set price point of $28.99 is any indication, these could also be VERY affordable.
I’ll let you click the link to check it out, but I’m posting my personal favorites below:

This is really cool. I mean it is reeeeaaaallllyyyy cool but I haven’t bought a blu ray player and don’t plan to do so any time soon. I’m sticking with DVD’s and awaiting the affordable direct download and expansion of Netflix’s streaming availability.

I completely understand the bluray thing. I haven’t even gone HD yet. The sweet thing is that all of these are DVD’s and most of them will have Bluray editions as well. As the guy who owns the Superman tin and imported the Chinese 25th anniversary edition of the entire Transformers series, this kind of stuff just makes me happy

That’s cool that there will be DVD editions also. I saw Blu-ray and automatically stopped reading (although I did look at the pictures!). Thanks for the understanding and clarification.
