If it comes with a 1:1 Tesserract replica it will be hard for me to pass up.

Wouldn't be surprised if it does and that winds up being a stack of DVDs.

 

[7166charlie]

I just hope we see this in england

 

[The Ween]

I'll pass on this unless the packaging or other things are awesome.

Looks like I'll be investing in some sort of Blu-Ray soon. It seems all of the great stuff will only be found in that format. I've been holding off on one since I'm been using HD and the 360. Looks like this will give me an excuse now.

I absolutely loved this movie! So far, this is looking like a great summer. This, Amazing Spiderman, Prometheus, Expendables 2 and TDKR.

• Marvel’s The Avengers (Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray)
• Captain America: The First Avenger (Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray)
• Thor (Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray)
• Iron Man 2 (Blu-ray)
• The Incredible Hulk (Blu-ray)
• Iron Man (Blu-ray)
• Bonus Disc - “The Phase One Archives” (Blu-ray)
• Collectible packaging with exclusive memorabilia from the Marvel Cinematic Universe

So Iron Man loses the second Blu-ray with the special features, Incredible Hulk loses the digital copy disc, Iron Man 2 loses the special features Blu-ray as well as the DVD and digital copy. Thor, Captain America and Avengers each lose the DVD and digital copy. That's seven fewer discs than the individual releases, yet I'm still feeling tempted by the exclusive bonus disc.

I have a feeling that they will come up with a set comparable to what they did with the complete Lost package. It had the same preview image covered by a sheet, and the set had a bonus disc and some cool packaging and little items included like a mini blacklight flashlight. If they do something similar, this is going to be a nice boxed set.

They can fit all those special features on the single Blu-ray discs. This ain't DVD, there's plenty of storage space.

So you think they pressed brand new discs combining the two discs from the initial Iron Man releases with a new encode of the feature with higher compression to make room? My guess is that they are simply throwing out the second discs and just giving us disc one. Iron Man 1 & 2 had separate Blu-ray discs with HD special features, and neither of those are included in this set.

The Iron Man set had the main movie disc using 44 gigs of space, and the special features disc had 21.5 gigs. You can't fit 65 gigs of information onto a single Blu-ray disc unless you downgrade the special features to standard def. That's why they gave the feature its own disc and moved the bonus features in HD video onto a separate Blu-ray.

 

[IrishJedi]

No idea. This isn't coming out for a while. I agree that it'd be pretty shortsighted to have a set like this that is supposed to be definitive and leave out content like that. Who would they think they are, Lucasfilm?

Do that many people actually watch these movies in 3d at home? I avoid 3d like the plague when I'm at the theater. I don't know anyone who actually uses a 3d tv at home.

I'd much much rather prefer they drop the 3d discs in favor of all the bonus content/commentaries/deleted scenes.

I have a friend who has a 3D tv and she says the 3D movies look better on it than in the theaters.

Now up to #3 on the all time list.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Man I hope it knocks Avatar on its stupid Na'vi ass.

 

[intothevoid]

No chance of it catching Avatar

It'll remain #3 all time, probably end up near $1.5bn total (which was the upper range of my estimate the day after I saw it open here in the UK )

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, not gonna catch the top 2. 1.5 Billion is nothing to sneeze at though.

 

[jye4ever]

It's funny that the movie that passed TDK happened a month and a half before TDKR.

 

[The Ween]

It could, if jye4ever keeps going and seeing it.

When is the bluray out again, I still have time.

But wife wants to see Snow White Got The Hots For Thor though

Wait, that's still kinda of an Avengers movie, just minus the other Avengers, Loki, Shield, Helicarrier, NYC, Alien invasion, Thanos, Pepper Potts and Stan Lee cameo.

 

[The Mike]

I'm not an amazing fan of these bundled sets but if it's the Tesseract suitcase that's a little too awesome to pass up. I'd love for Sideshow to have done a 1:1 Tesseract for it or something along those lines but even without I never picked up a bunch of the Marvel films so either way I'm ahead.
