'Alien' films to be available separately on Blu-ray in the U.S.
« on: March 18, 2011, 04:54:35 PM »

Alien, Aliens, Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection are all getting their own Blu-ray releases come May 10th. Fans who absolutely refuse to buy all four of the films will now be able to buy their choice of films one by one. Disc specs have not been announced, but the current rumor is that these releases will be the movies' respective discs from the Alien Anthology boxset So the only special features expected are commentary tracks and isolated music scores.

Today is the day these street, and amazon has them for 14.99. So those hold-outs refusing to buy one of he best BD boxsets in history can get their way and just buy whatever movies from the series they prefer. Though, it still seems these are just the movie discs from the Anthology set, so don't expect any extras save commentaries.

I don't get it. It's cheaper to buy the whole boxset with all the special features, than to buy a couple of the films separately.

If you go by amazon's current prices, you can buy all four for damned-near ten dollars less than the boxset. A lot of people only like the first two, so that's about 30 bucks as oppose to spending 70 on the set. If special features are meaningless to you, it has merit.

They really should have more extras or the same from the set.

That would require them authoring new discs. They'd rather try and upsell you the entire set and make more profit.
