All these sets are sweet. Is there just no market in Region 1 for these types of sets? I mean we all spend extra cash to own these, its a shame we can't get these type's of box sets in the U.S./Canada region. I would have really liked the Alien one and the i, Robot one but damn if I'm going to pay the $400+ price tag now. Had they been release here for $100 or so I would have considered it.

Not only that, but some other region releases have better video transfers, are not cut, etc. Personally I try to buy what appears to be the best release, regardless of the region.

I guess I'll just have to start doing that. It's a shame we don't ATLEAST get DTS on all R1 release's that get a DTS release in other regions. I guess it just shows how much "Dumbing" down companies can do and the average consumer doesn't care.

Well, maybe I'm "dumb", but I do care, and I actually prefer DD to dts. I used to like dts better, but ever since getting a 7.1 set up and a receiver with Pro Logic IIx, DD5.1 sounds better. I still prefer dts on my living room set-up which is just 5.1 and an older receiver, but in my home theater, the combination of DD5.1 and Pro Logic IIx kicks major ass.
I would like to get better packaging here in the States though. I also sometimes don't know which region is the best transfer, etc. dvdbeaver doesn't always have the title I'm looking for compared.

Just emptying some old image folders and found:

and:

A few there I don't recall.
I'm always disappointed the US and UK are so far behind when it comes to giving collectors something special.
