Funny how imminent sequels "inspire" studios to re-release their previous instalments JUST IN TIME...nothing to do with capitalist thirst for materialistic non-thinkers' easy cash, methinks
(Using overly long sentences is both pretentious and not a little bit fun:D)

Let's just hope this franchise is "resurrected" with Extinction, after the it-had-so-much-potential-but-failed-to-deliver second installment.
P.S. Where is Leon?

UH... from what I have seen and read from the internet and trailers...this is going to be a bad movie 
The first was spectacular. The second...not so much. And the third doesn't look any better than the second.
I own the first two films, so I will pass on this.

The first was great, the second...well, we all know how that turned out.
Pretty much hated the first, but the second one was, surprisingly enough, not as bad as I would have thought. And that's probably as much praise a Resident Evil film will ever get from me.
Wow increabible, there is atleast 3 double dips for Resident Evil already. Way to go Sony.

I heard "Extinction" is the final film.

I heard that the 4th film takes place in Japan, called "Resurrection"
so this is a single disc release? if not, are all the extras from the previous versions on here?
i own the special edition of part 1 and the two disc of part 2 so i wont be getting it but just curious..lol

Extinction looks cool from the trailer. I definitely want to see it. don't know about the triple dip of the two films.
I really enjoyed the first, but haven't seen the 2nd. Not sure if I can be bothered with parts 2 or 3 to be honest, as I haven't heard anything good about them and I can't honestly see them doing anything different or better than what was in the first.
Damn and here I own the first two (I kind of liked the second one but I couldnt stand the slow-mo-peter-jacksonsy shots they did for the zombies) and yet I still can't wait to see what the art looks like. I am going to hold off on this though....it will be hard but I'm doing it, you cant beat the plastic slide off sleeve Apocalpse had.
These films suck and I am a huge fan of the games. These movies are nothing more than rocknroll action horror flicks that do no justice to the horror and atmosphere the games have. Paul W.S. Anderson is one of the worst filmmakers behind Uwe Boll. He keeps trying the video game genre and just fails miserably.
well I don't mind wasting money at all so getting for sure
I loved LOVED LOVED Apocalypse. It was pure awesome bottled, bagged, tied with a bow and just waiting to be drunk.
Hopefully I can get a screener of this, so I don't have to triple-dip. That said, I'll buy this anyway for the "bridge" scene and the free ticket.
I will probably then see Extinction six times in the same day, as I did with Apocalypse.*
*I will watch anything with Milla a thousand times.

So will this set finally include the alleged "deleted scenes" of the first movie that the production crew always talk about?
I will pick them up.

And the 5th is called reloaded and the 6th is called revolutions and they both take place underground in the future. RFLOL

The second movie slapped some ass, it's pure guilty entertainment, I loved it,(except for the slo-mo zombies as mentioned elsewhere), and hope Extinction ups the action stakes even more.
Another sequel about to be released, another box set with only the first 2 movies in it - people, stay away from this! Do not encourage them!
Yes I most definitely will buy this, because I don't have the first 2 and that SRP is CHEAP!!!
This would be the perfect time to release the fantastic first film on Blu Ray, but disappointingly they are not.
However, even though Extinction is being called the final film in the trilogy, there's word that the story of Alice ends in the third film (it's "her" trilogy) and Leon (introduced at some point in Extinction) and Claire will continue on in another trilogy that's already being planned. Can't wait!
Now Sony... get off your butts and get on that Blu Ray of the first RE!

C'mon guys. Don't buy this. You know that when Extinction comes to dvd, they'll probably have a trilogy set w/ all three movies and the same special features. First there was the original RE on dvd, then there was the RE:Deluxe Edition b/c Apocalypse was coming out, then there was the 2-disc of Apocalypse along w/ a two pack w/ both it and the first also available, now there's this one w/ both and different special features about to be release. I admit, I replaced the original w/ the deluxe, but, that's it. I doubt I'll be picking this up unless the artwork and the price just really draws me in.
Depends on the package - if it's a nice LE, I'll get it!

Yea they later cancelled that idea.. Extinction will now be the final movie. They thought about shooting them back to back but then just sc**pped it altogether..

In Resident Evil, Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Ultra Violet), Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast and the Furious, TV’s Lost) and Eric Mabius (Cruel Intentions, TV’s Ugly Betty) join forces to save the world from a deadly virus and wage war against the ravenous zombies created by an evil experiment gone awry.

Synopsis: Resident Evil
Based on the wildly popular video game, Resident Evil stars Alice (Jovovich) and Rain (Rodriguez) as the leaders of an elite commando-team who are tasked with breaking into “The Hive,” a vast underground genetics laboratory in Raccoon City, operated by the powerful international Umbrella Corporation. A deadly T-virus has been unleashed, killing the lab’s personnel and resurrecting them as the evil and ravenous undead. Battling the hungry zombies and mutated lab animals, the team has just three hours to deprogram the lab’s complex computer, “The Red Queen,” and shut down the facility before the virus threatens to overrun the Earth.
Synopsis: Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Jovovich returns in Resident Evil: Apocalypse as one of only two survivors of the contained biochemical disaster in Resident Evil. The sequel opens with Alice in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City.
