KK 3,313 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Oooohhh....we wants it precious....yesss...GIVE IT TO US...
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Awesome packaging.So does the Elfman box but I'm not coughing up another $500 for Potter.

Check back for further details coming in 2012I thought DHp1 was never converted to 3D?And how in the world do the movies themselves take up 18 discs???????Maybe a typo? Probably 8, even the LOTR extended editions don't have 18 discs. Theres no way the movies alone take 18 discs.
indy4 160 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 It can't be 8, unless they had typos on the "31 total discs" part too. And they've got multiple version of 4 of the films. 16 discs seems more likely, but maybe the extended versions are really extended.
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I thought DHp1 was never converted to 3D?It was, just not in time for its theatrical release.Anyway, I hope they reissue it later in simpler packaging, and at a lower price. Or that Amazon does one heck of a Lightning Deal sometime. I've been holding off buying Potter on video this whole time, waiting for the eventual ultimate set... but I can't justify spending $350 for 8 films.ETA: The set comes with DVDs too. The breakdown is probably:8 Blu-rays + 2 3-D Blu-rays + 8 DVDs + 13 bonus discs = 31 discs

Ya, 16 makes more sense, and maybe 2 more discs were thrown in there with deleted scenes and extra footage and stuff that might not have been on the special features discs. Wow, this must be quite extensive.With all these CDs, there better be at least one dedicated to the music of the franchise
Jay 46,241 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 It's because of the UltraViolet Digital Copy:8 Blu Rays (1 for each movie)8 discs containing digital copies (1 for each movie)2 Blu Rays for 3D versions of DH= 18 discs-------------I hadn't watched the packaging video before. It does look pretty cool!
Jill Sandwich 11,165 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Oh blah, I'm satisfied with my current boxset. The only thing that would tempt me to get this are isolated scores and audio commentaries.

alicebrallice 134 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 that is one cool box. I wouldn't spend $350 on it, though
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Okay, I am only interested in one thing!Will there be any new JW-related featurettes on it?
Richard P 5,302 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If it has isolated scores for every film (almost impossible) I'll consider.But 31 discs? Umm. Wow.
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If it has isolated scores for every film (almost impossible) I'll consider.I highly doubt it!
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If it has isolated scores, it will probably be for the films Williams didn't score...
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I don't know why people are even entertaining the hope that we might get an isolated score!What's the last JW movie released on DVD or Bluray that had an isolated score? E.T.?

Apparently UltraViolet is not a digital copy you get to own - it's a service you sign up for, and whenever you want to what "your" digital copy you have to stream it through a live internet connection. lame!So then it must be:8 Blu Rays (1 for each movie)8 DVDs (1 for each movie)2 Blu Rays for 3D versions of DH= 18 discs
Jilal 681 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I don't know why people are even entertaining the hope that we might get an isolated score!What's the last JW movie released on DVD or Bluray that had an isolated score? E.T.?1941. ET has the audio of the film + the score conducted live.
indy4 160 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 What about KotCS? There was isolated score there.
Jilal 681 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 What about KotCS? There was isolated score there.You're right. I forgot about that one.
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 What about KotCS? There was isolated score there.What? Where?
Jilal 681 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 By the way, wasn't there an isolated score on the Tintin blu-ray too?
indy4 160 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 What about KotCS? There was isolated score there.What? Where? There's some revisualization sequences or something where you can watch visual mock ups of action scenes (really crude effects).

indy4 160 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Why? They include the score with no sound effects.
Jay 46,241 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 "Isolated Score" implies you can hear the ENTIRE score of the film as an alternate audio track while watching the movie itself
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 This."Isolated Score" implies you can hear the ENTIRE score of the film as an alternate audio track while watching the movie itself
Xander Harris 9,674 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 This seems excessive. Blu-ray sets that duplicate everything on DVDs and digital copies...what a mess. I buy the Blu-ray for *gasp* the Blu-ray!
Joe Brausam 234 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Sets like this allow the, to charge more though and not carry an extra SKU if they don't want to. Makes good business sense.
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I'm tired of people complaining about the price of such box sets."Wow, it's too expensive!" "How am I supposed to buy that?" "I'd love to have that, but I don't have the money for it!" Blabediblabedibla.You know that if you'd steal it, you'd have it for free? Idiots!I judge a boxset like this by the cost per film. Bond, Star Wars, and even the gold standard, the Alien Anthology—all very reasonably priced when you break them down per film. I like the Potter movies, but I think $43.75 each is way too high. I never pay that much for a single title.
Richard P 5,302 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe some of the market still has DVD players and having some future-proofing is nice.Still reeks of trying to milk the franchise for everything they can though.If however, that milking came in a more musical form... bring it on!

I never pay that much for a single title.I don't think that's a fair assessment, since the set offers much more than the 8 films. But even still taking the other stuff into account it's probably way overpriced.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 It'll probably drop to around $200 when nobody buys it.
Matt C 605 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 It'll probably drop to around $200 when nobody buys it.That's still WAY too much for an eight-film collection. Warners needs to get off their asses and do a comprehensive Blade Runner/Batman Anthology treatment for their biggest franchise. I'm sick of them constantly pushing out subpar double-dips like the Ultimate Editions, which aren't worth the shelf space or extra money.That's the only way I'll double dip. Having Harry Potter: Years 1-7.1 plus DH pt. 2 is enough to tide me over until WB gets their act together.
Score_Fan 37 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I 100% agree with this. There's tons of archival behind the scenes footage, alot of deleted footage (CoS runs 3 hours and there's still some delted scenes, GoF had some, including Priori Incantatem and (an alternate ending), even some scoring sessions or something would be nice. Come on WB!

That would make 24 discs.
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 31 discs...Hmmm, maybe they threw in the 2-CD Complete Editions of the OS soundtrack of all movies, as well!

Warners needs to get off their asses and do a comprehensive Blade Runner/Batman Anthology treatment for their biggest franchise. I'm sick of them constantly pushing out subpar double-dips like the Ultimate Editions, which aren't worth the shelf space or extra money.Well there's your answer right there. Harry Potter is their biggest franchise, so they can and are getting away with all the double dips. They know people will continue to cough up their money, and people are.Harry Potter sucks, so it doesn't matter to me either way. I only like Prisoner Of Azkaban.
Josh500 1,620 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Harry Potter sucks, so it doesn't matter to me either way. I only like Prisoner Of Azkaban.Actually Harry Potter doesn't suck at all! It's one of the best franchises of all time, on the same level as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond, etc.But I realized that personally I am only interested in the first 3 movies, for obvious reasons.
Score_Fan 37 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah, harry potter is one of the best, and stayed consistently well-made throughout the entire series, and never really dipped in quality (imo), and there's not much franchises that don't do that, much less an 8-film-series franchise.

Highs being PS/SS, POA, OOTP, DH2 to banal mediocrity being COS, GOF, HBP, with DH1 being somewhere in the middle.
