Absolutely, we still have the Blu-ray 3D releases on the horizon after they are shown at the cinema.

re: Star Wars

I thought the complete set in the US is the same packaging as the Alien set. The book style with sleeves.

That's not the US release. If you watch the video in 720p, you can see that the writing on the back of the package isn't in English. Looks like this is a German release.

re: Star Wars

Interesting character choices on the discs themselves....

No Luke, Leia, Han, Anakin? Odd.

Best Buy's new ad is out. $89.99 for the complete set. Looks like Target has the lowest at $79.99. Hopefully Amazon will PM before next Friday.

Thought the same thing.

Luke, Leia, Han should have been on the IV, V and VI.

That's only IF Blu-Ray 3D still exists by 2017 or 2018, which I really doubt it will.

Based on his most recent thread, I believe Iron Giant is suffering from dementia (or "brain gas").

I was thinking the exact same thing watching that video. I liked how the 2004 discs looked, where they had art that was similar to the film's original poster art on the discs themselves. Not that it's too big a deal to me since I'm not getting these anyways but still weird.

The disc art doesn't bother me. It's not like these are the real OT movies anyway.

True but the same could've been said about the 2004 discs.

Glad they did. I should get another gift card deposited on Monday with my latest trade-ins, so I can use all of that on the set.

re: Star Wars

I pre-ordered on Amazon back when I still had Prime in January, just got a delivery estimate saying September 20th. Anyone else with prime orders have this date even though it says release date delivery on the product page?

re: Star Wars

Interesting note I found:

AICN did a review of the Blu-Rays and noticed for all the deleted scenes, NONE of the deleted scenes from the original Prequel DVD releases are included.

Another reason to keep all the DVD's of the saga.

re: Star Wars

"The blue ray versions of film may have a better screen ratio and supposed better picture but when you are watching ANY movie on your home tv YOU ARE STILL NOT GOING TO GET the "ORIGINAL" version you saw at the movie theater, unless your tv is the size of a theater."

--Some dude from another board I'm on, explaining how, even if George were to release the originals on Blu-ray, they would still be altered from their theatrical versions
