i imagine they did this just to say "its every movie". plus outside the little reboot moment of him finding his mask....it pretty much can work as just another sequel.

that being said, i totally wouldnt be surprised if its just because they wanted an even number for collection of discs. saying "10 DISCS!!!!" somehow sounds cooler than saying 9.  

I like to think of it that way myself, it would have worked better as a sequel rather then trying to remake the original. I tried giving it a couple shots and just can't watch the new one because it's a remake  that to me doesn't come close to what the original one was about.

to the Friday fans out there..... the Crystal Lake Memories doc is officially up for pre-order as of today, its the only way (so far) to get the bonus dvd of extras as well. show your love and grab it!!    

i got my order in, it'll make a nice primer to watching this box set when it comes out 2 weeks later.

I really hate the packaging for this. I know that blu-rays are harder to scratch, but still...sliding them into cardboard sleeves ? I don't think so. Hopefully the UK version will be like the Universal Monsters set and have normal hubs to hold the discs in some sort of digipack.

i highly doubt anyone will ask 130 for it, i'm sure the average price will be 60-80 dollars, maybe 100 in some places. as for uncut versions, i doubt that will ever happen, especially where Part 7 is concerned, all they have there is VHS footage that Kane Hodder owns. i doubt any "scrubbing" will make that footage feature film worthy. though having it as an extra would be cool.

as for the other movies, considering what Paramount really thought of the franchise at the time, i'd be surprised if there's any of that cut footage left or if there is, dont know if they'd wanna spend the money to clean it up and re-insert it. i mean these are the guys who released Star Trek movies in their theatrical form on blu-ray when the dvds were the extended versions. if they dont wanna put the effort in one of their Major franchises.....

but maybe if this sells well they will change their tune.

the only thing i can figure is that 1-3, the Vs. movie and the remake will all simply be the original blu's but with new art. but then Part 4 is new and gets its own disc?

Yes, it will be the original Blu-rays. Part 4 gets it's own disc because there is an odd number.

damn so its not special?  lol

but that sorta works out for me with the Vs. movie. i got the canadian barebone edition cuz an online store screwed me so now i'll have the proper WB release with the extras i'm guessing.

I only really want The Final Chapter as I already have parts 1,2,3, so I hope it gets an individual release somewhere down the line.
If parts 5, 6 and 7, 8 were released as twofers then I may consider picking them up as well if they were going cheap.

day 1 for me...i have them all on dvd, already have Freddy Vs. Jason and the remake on blu but i think its totally worth getting. not a fan of the coverart but its the contents that matter. plus the 7hr documentary comes out this august so it makes for a very complete collection.

i'm guessing that bonus disc is just the same one that came with the Part 1-8 dvd collection since it shares a similar if not the same title. the inclusion of a tin case and the book is a nice touch. if only WB had treated the Nightmare blu collection this well. though next year is Freddy's 30th anniversary so would they double dip a collection so soon and make it worthy?
