Well, it looks like it's coming but I'm still suspicious that they would release this now, with the SUPERMAN reboot coming next year.
At the very best, this'll be a straight transfer of the dvd set which would at least mean that we got the original cuts of I and II. But what's more likely is that this is just the existing discs packaged with HD versions of III and IV.
That would leave room for a new set next year, possibly containing a remaster (and extended edition) of RETURNS, the cartoons in HD, the original theatrical versions, and so on. Or, indeed, for standalone versions of the above.
Whichever way - call me a cynic but I'm suspecting a last-ditch cash grab with this one. I won't be buying just to upgrade III and IV.
