First on was epic...
Second one was tolerable...
Third one was horrible...
I don't own a Bluay drive/player at the moment so the kickass DVD box set will have to do...

I might get this in 6 months when the price is reasonable and only if they release it in proper 7.1!!!!!

Who's the idiot here??People on here complain about the retail price every time a dvd is announced, like that's what they're going to have to pay. They should know by now that nothing is ever sold for retail.

How does such ignorance as this continue to permeate forums such as DVD Active? Do some research on what "compression" and "quality" means, and then do some further research to connect the two together.
P.S. To all those haters, we NEED major studios releasing high-profile films on Blu to increase player sales which will decrease the current high cost of both software and hardware. Lord of the Rings trilogy in hi-def anybody? Think what those films alone would do for Blu.

Sigh.
This boxed set is the only one listed on Warner's site.
Hey Chris,
Any idea if they'll be released separately?
Please Warner, don't force us to buy the whole darn thing, plus the kitchen sink. I never bought the remastered SD DVD's because of that annoying digipak boxset.
I just want the movies.

already got the dvd box, and i waited till that was $50 to pick it up. The sequels are garbage and the first has lost a lot of its appeal (due to multiple viewings, excessive fan-boy gibberish, and the taint of poorly conceived sequels). There are movies you re-buy on blu-ray (batman begins, for example). There are movies you buy just because its blu-ray ("300"
. And there are movies where once is enough. The matrix box falls into that category.

I think $129.95 is the List Price
Amazon has it for $90.95, probably can buy it cheaper if you wait a bit...

The HD DVD Set looks fantastic - beyond demo materials, I sold that though - Time to buy this set again in Blu. Might consider getting the Japanese LE BD.
Finally Thank you Warner
I wish they would just release the movie only box set like they did on HD-DVD. I have the ultimate set on DVD already, I just want the movies in high-def. I'll pass on this since all the special features are basically the same discs I have I'm sure.
Don't screw us over, Warner!!!
Don't screw us over, Warner!!!
Sweet!!
I could be tempted to get this, but it'll have to be much later on down the line, after a couple price drops.....
just give me a special edition to the first.
seriously.
thats all i ask.
seriously.
thats all i ask.

I'm agree 110%. I simply ignore the existence of the 2nd & 3rd movies.

same can be said for tv seasons, i figured we'd be seeing 2 or 3 disc collections and so far, most blu-ray seasons are maybe 1 disc less than the regular dvd version...what a jip..lol i'm sure having 67 different audio options and 170 commentaries eats space too...they should cut down on that stuff.]
you have to remember that they aren't just taking the DVD transfer and slapping it onto a Blu Ray disc. the 1080p video takes up more space than the 480p standard version.

Oh that's lame. What was wrong with the covers used in the DVD box set. Those were much better. Oh well.

Maybe now I'll pick it up. Kept meaning to get the HD DVD...but then again since that's so cheap i may still.
They won't. Those are the covers used in the HD DVD sets.
I hope they change those individual cover arts
Arse, The Animatrix is now in 1080p. Bah. I've got the HD DVD set and all of the SD sets/singles, so I probably won't upgrade just for that. PITA though.
I really enjoy the films (even the sequels, which were disappointing but still entertaining) and would love to see this get an R2 release instead of the 3-disc set we're getting.
Already own this on hd dvd, but i want the Nebuchadnezzar model that the Japenese set is coming in! Thats gonna be an expensive set! But worth every penny. PLEASE bring it to the US Warner!
I'm just surprised no one has ever gone back and changed the purple scheme to green on the first movie's art. Just to make things more uniform...not complaining at all. Just surprised.
The first Matrix is the only one worth owning.

but its funny..sorta full circle, a 7 disc blu-ray collection is 130$ ...remember when that was cheap for 7 regular dvd collections...i remmeber payign that price for the first 4 or 5 X-Files seasons...the more things change, the more they stay the same...lol

How many more releases are these [sub-par] films gonna get?
And yeah, I get that this is Blu-Ray, the end all be all until holograms or whatever, and that it's a standard re-release, but still, there's stuff that hasn't even been released on SD DVD yet, or are out of print and all that. Just frustrating. Sorry.

Who shives a git
For $130.00 bucks, I'll pass.
