I think I'm only going to get the first 2 Alien blu rays at Best Buy and get that $10.00 free movie cash so I can watch Prometheus for free. I'm pissed because I've been twice and they've been sold out of Alien and Aliens both times. Plenty of Alien 3 and the abomination that was 4 however....
You done fucked up, Jammer.
I'm not a big fan of 3 & 4, but the supplemental discs are incredible. I really think they give you a better appreciation for all the movies, not just the first two. Plus it's a great package, as Bunz can attest to.
I bought another one to give to the next friend who upgrades to blu ray.
I feel bad for anyone who paid $100 bucks for this though.

Speaking of deals, will Deadwood get any cheaper than this?

$65

Cheapest I've ever seen it. I paid a few dollars more than that and was really happy about it.

Again camelcamelcamel.com is an awesome site to know how good of a deal something is

Also right now Best Buy has the entire Soprano's series for $59.99.
The new packaging design is awful but the $10 a season is hard to beat and I've given up hope of them putting the whole series out on bluray anytime in the forseeable future.
Best Buy sent me a $10 coupon because of one of their stores across the Bay was closing. Of course I waited until the last hour of the last day before the coupon expired. Stood there debating whether to use it on Deadwood, The Sopranos, or Breaking Bad. Wish I had Tommy Bunz and Drizzle on my shoulders (nh) to guide me. Went with the biggest savings from MSRP.

I went to my local Fry's and picked up several blu-rays like Impostor and Behind Enemy Lines for $4.99. They also had other stuff for cheap, like Super 8 for $6.99.
I just looked at their website, and they have all that and more, with free shipping. You might not even have to pay sales tax, depending where you live.

Delayed and possibly not coming out at all.
With many budgets routinely crossing the $150 million threshold, studios keep a close eye on their tentpoles, making sure the films hit that four-quadrant sweet spot with nothing, not a blemish, to stop them. Every once in awhile, however, certain details are overlooked and the detail in the case of Marvel’s blockbuster team-up film “The Avengers” will block the release of the Blu-ray box set of Phase One of their cinematic universe.
Apparently the briefcase that held the superhero film’s MacGuffin, the Tesseract, wasn’t just a generic design but rather one that is copyrighted by the German luggage company Rimowa BhmbH. While the necessary legal paperwork was filed and permission granted for the briefcase’s use in the film, the selling of replicas as part of the deluxe Blu-ray set -- which would have included the run of films directly leading into “The Avengers,” including the Joss Whedon film itself, along with a replica of the so-called Cosmic Cube -- was not part of the deal.

In a complaint filed in federal court in California, the German company alleges that “Marvel did not obtain any license or authorization from Rimowa to make replica copies of the case for any purpose . . . the plastic ‘replica case’ [is] a close copy of Rimowa’s Topas attaché case in every respect but quality -- from the proportions and coloring, to the style of the handle and latches, and, of course, in the use of the trademarked parallel ridges around the body of the case.”

Ouch. In the face of these serious allegations the set has been pulled offline and no longer available for pre-order. Fans will just have to make do with the three other versions available for the moment until a new agreement is reached (or new packaging arrives from Asgard).

Highly doubt it. Despite being critically acclaimed, it never achieved a big audience and was lucky to make its last couple seasons. Don't see how Universal would see it as a good business move.
