Which Harry Potter films will you buy?

[BStecke]

I ordered the first four from Warner (individually, obviously) with the 25% off, so they ended up being something like $17.21 apiece. When OOTP becomes available for preorder, and if WB has the 25% off still going, I'll probably add it to the order. Otherwise I'll go to Wal-Mart at midnight and get it, as I haven't seen it yet and I'm dying to. I would've gotten the box set, but I hate inconsistency in packaging.

they fall apart... at least mine did... i love these movies and watch them plenty, unfortunatly the boxes don't keep up with normal wear and tear.. .although i don't know if that would be considered wear and tear

I have the first Matrix movie on DVD in one of those cases, and while it hasn't fallen apart, it never closes properly, and doesn't match the cases for Reloaded and Revolutions... ah well, soon I will have all 3 on blu-ray and can get rid of that stupid cardboard eye sore.

The first two Harry Potter films didn't use the same type of case as the Matrix (which are the crappiest storage devices every created). The first two HP's had a trifold (if I remember correctly) case that had a slipcover. They were actually very nice, not exactly the same as the regular DVD cases, but close enough, and they looked good. Then the other two came out in the regular Amaray cases, which is one of things that irks me the most when looking at my shelf. I didn't buy the two-disc version of Prisoner of Azkaban or Goblet of Fire because I couldn't get the same packaging. Some people are worse than me though, as they can't stand the difference in Blu-ray cases between the Warner and Fox cases (a lil' fatter, lighter blue) vs. Disney and Sony (slimmer, darker blue). I do like the slimmer ones better, but at least they sit flush with each other.

i didn't like that either... nor do i like the way the first case was blue tinted and the next two were black... doesn't matter... the first one is the only one that really counted in my book, the last two only "finished" the story. i still believe they could have left the masterpiece alone and it would have been fine.

I'm getting the giftset.

There were ?s about the 1-disc Blu-ray, 2-disc DVD. According to what I heard, the Blu-ray will have all the DVD extras (some SD, some HD) aong with some new ones, on one dual layer disc, while the HD-DED version will use 2 discs as their can't hold as much data.

I've also heard there might be Linear PCM on these
