Report this post		The Matrix will be ace, especially since the original DVD is poor, and the remaster in the boxed set I haven't seen because I don't want the sequels.

Report this post		I'm looking forward to the Harry Potter films if the latest one in HD is anything to go by.. a really nice transfer and the films are getting better as the series progresses. I just guess they need to hurry before Daniel becomes too manly to portray Harry and they have to get some other kid in to replace him.

Oh, and wasn't Oceans 12 a bit pants?

Report this post		Yep, strange they waited so long to announce the same basic list of titles. I've updated this to a dual-format piece, no need for a 2nd BD only one.

Report this post		The 10 disc box set version of the Matrix DVD is a lot better than the std DVD, but it is also tinted to match the sequels.
The original DVD looks a bit washed out and flat now I've got used to the re-mastered DVD.
I didn't want the rest of them either so bid on a broken case set on eBay.
won it for £7.00 (in $'s as it's the R1 as R2 is cut still) and asked him only to send Disc 1+2 and the booklet. The 2 dvd's sit on the snapper case spindle quite happily.......:D
