They should've done this one as a complete set, or even a (*gasp*) Jumbo with all the movies inside. Or maybe something like a jumbo that doesn't suck like the current jumbo.
I disagree COMPLETELY. It is great marketing to release them separately in steelbooks to make as much profit on them as possible, and to let each film have it's own steelbook to showcase killer artwork plastered all three cases.

Jumbo's suck period when compared to a regular sized steelbook. I hope they never put out another ever again (I know they will, but I can still hope).

You could see the glass half full instead of half empty if you just miss one. If you miss the first one but get the last 2, then you are 2/3's of the way to a complete set. It would not be too difficult to complete the set, and I'm sure having all 3 of them sitting together on the shelf would look a million times better than some fugly jumbo book.

What I was trying to say is they should keep each movie in their individual steelbook but just sell them together as one package so the trilogy is not scattered and possibly split up. Also I agree the current Jumbo's suck, that's why I mentioned they need to fix them.

Ah, okay, that would be nice, but then if all three steelbooks were housed together, damage would be hidden until it is opened, and then you'd have to take the whole set back for a replacement. If they sold out, then it wouldn't be possible. I think I'd rather all three get released separately so all three could be inspected.

They could offer up a free slipcase when they sell the last one to house all three. I remember Best Buy did this with the Kill Bill movies when they came out in dvd.
