Ultimate Collector's Editions this fall!!

I kind of happy that I still haven't bought I Am Legend and 300... I've been postponing the purchases since the releases on DVD. As a result I might regret that I didn't go for the steelbooks at the very beginning. But it seems that I did it for a reason (besides the HD switch), a very nice surprise is actually coming our way.

"Apparently driven by the success of last year's Blade Runner and Harry Potter box sets, Warner has just revealed a number of new DVD and Blu-ray Disc box sets due later this year (both from Warner and also HBO). As it happens, we've got some early details for you, as well as an exclusive first look at the packaging and artwork for nearly all of them. Street dates and exact specs aren't yet available, but here's a sneak peek at some of what's planned for release in the fourth quarter of this year (official announcements will follow in the weeks ahead)..."

A while ago, when the Blade Runner case was announced I instantly pre-ordered the bad boy, and still haven' regret the best buy of last year. So these could make excellent gifts for the holidays again!


If I had to choose between a steelbook, a lenticular cover or this gift set... I think this a no-brainer.

"As for more recent live action fare, an I Am Legend: Ultimate Collector's Edition box set will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and will include an alternate version of the film with the "controversial ending," all-new special features such as a new filmmaker commentary, deleted scenes, "iconic" premium collectible items and more."


"Also, a 300: Limited Collector's Edition box set will be available this fall on DVD only, as a special box set including all the previous DVD extras along with two new documentaries (Recreating the Spartan Era and 300: Legend Filtered Through History, Graphic Novel and Film), as well as other exclusive memorabilia (a lenticular hologram, artwork cards and more). The reason it's DVD only? The studio tells us that a much more elaborate Blu-ray Disc version is currently in production for release in 2009, complete with new BD-Live and Bonus View content. It's tentatively set for about mid-year, so watch it to arrive in stores about a year from now. We'll have more details as they become available."
