Finally on Blu-ray, the ultimate collection featuring all four Alien films and every special feature ever released on six Blu-ray Discs!

• Two versions of each film (Directors Cut or Special Edition and Theatrical Version) in High Definition, plus commentaries.

• 2 discs of Bonus Material

• Over sixty hours of extra features, including every piece of bonus material ever released!

Alien: The terror begins when the crew of the spaceship Nostromo investigates a transmission from a desolate planet and makes a horrifying discovery, a life form that breeds within a human host. Now the crew must fight not only for its own survival, but for the survival of all mankind.

Aliens: Sigourney Weaver returns as Ripley, the only survivor from mankind's first encounter with the monstrous Alien. Her account of the Alien and the fate of her crew are received with skepticism, until the mysterious disappearance of colonists on LV-426 lead her to join a team of high-tech colonial marines sent in to investigate...

Alien 3: Lt. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is the lone survivor when her crippled spaceship crash lands on Fiorina 161, a bleak wasteland inhabited by former inmates of the planet's maximum security prison. Ripley's fears that an Alien was aboard her craft are confirmed when the mutilated bodies of ex-cons begin to mount. Without weapons or modern technology of any kind, Ripley must lead the men into battle against the terrifying creature. And soon she discovers a horrifying fact about her link with the Alien, a realisation that may compel Ripley to try destroying not only the horrific creature, but herself as well.

Alien Resurrection: Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) died fighting the perfect predator. Two hundred years and eight horrific experiments later, she's back. A group of scientists have cloned her, along with the alien queen inside her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the resurrected Ripley is full of surprises for her "creators", as are the aliens. And soon, a lot more than "all hell" breaks loose! To combat the creatures, Ripley must team up with a band of smugglers, including a mechanic named Call (Winona Ryder), who holds more than a few surprises of her own.

WOW, this is gonna be awesome and expensive.

Love the cover with the Alien head.

[markbr]

Another Blu ray title I want !!!!!

[Sithlord75]

Alien Anthology & Back to the Future on the same day = Not much change (if any) out of £200.

Are you sure that's exactly what we'll be getting here in the UK, because I've found a couple of sites where the UK artwork is slightly different. Either way I'm not fused, but it would be nice to have the 'Egg' box set and packaging because it's a bit more striking and much more epic.

http://homecinema.thedigitalfix.co.u...ontentid=72809

The Special Features sound incredible, too many for me to coupe with. There's 60 hours in total, some would say that is far too much.

At least we're getting it at the same time as the US, and not have to wait a month or so. The only probalem is my favourite film of all-time comes out only a week later, Beauty and the Beast , and I'm just worried I may not have enough money left over.

If Fox can replicate this for the Star Wars box set next year then I'll be over the moon.

I got the images from IGN UK so I'm pretty sure it's accurate.

BTTF can be pre-ordered for £30, somehow I doubt they'll charge £170 for this.

What do you think the price is going to be? I'm guessing it'll be around £50-60 in stores.

Oh, ok, sorry for the wrong image there. I wish that ugly red dot wasn't there.

[Michael1989]

Awesome can't f'n wait for this!!

[razor81]

Wow looks cool. I'll have this movie.

[HotRats]

Amazon.com are listing the anthology at $98+$7 postage to which you'd have to add about £30-£35 customs fees, making it around £100 (assuming the pound stays at that rate). Amazon aren't specifying the egg but I can't find anything about an edition without the egg. Its possible the UK might just get the discs in a thick plastic box, after all Fox shafted us on the Planet Of The Apes set

[Natty]

The cover art for the UK boxset looks SICK!!! Can't wait hehe, however I'm not a huge fan of big statue thingys, so will probs give that one a miss, especially for the prices they tend to charge!

[nekromantik]

The article does state there will be a egg version thats made by Sideshow so its gonna be expensive

[shamus71011]

Definite day 1 purchase for me

[CJPowers]

Me too. Day one purchase even if it means no food for a week.

[hobgoblin]

Really liking the "Egg" version. Here's hoping the UK will have it.

However, price-wise I'm guessing it will be around £80-£100?

[DarchAmonNagar]

Where can I order the egg edition? Me wants real bad.
