A promo was shown revealing two versions of the set, including a more expensive Collector's Edition Gift Set that includes a Neo minibust from Gentle Giant and a soundtrack CD. As we've heard before, this will be a 10-disc set as follows:

Here's additional information the Wachowskis revealed at the panel:

Despite rumors, there will be no new director's cuts. The brothers said they were very happy with the original theatrical versions.

There will be two audio commentaries for each film - one from philosophers Ken Wilber and Cornel West (who analyze the meanings behind the films), and one from three professional critics who hated all three films (no names given). According to Andy Wachowski, "It's the best idea we've ever had. It's hilarious. They just sit there and rip the **** out of us for six hours."

All the footage shot for the Enter the Matrix videogame is present on the DVD for Matrix Reloaded. However, it is not cut into the film - it's a separate special feature you can view scene-by-scene.

Finally, the Wachowskis said that none of the special features from the original DVD releases of the trilogy will be reproduced except for what you find on Discs 2 and 7. You may see some of the same footage re-edited, but if you want to own all of the extras you'll need to keep your original DVDs too.

Apparently the aim is around $59.99 in the US, which sounds like a pretty good deal. :smile: I don't think any formal announcement has been said yet, but I wouldn't expect it to be anymore expensive than something like the Alien boxset. If it was priced too high, no one will buy it, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Quadrilogy?? Is that one of your own, Crono - or was it described as such on the box?

I kind of like the idea of having a soundtrack with people making fun of the movies. Of course, they probably won't say anything I hadn't already thought of...

Well I specifialy did not buy the other movies so that when the this boxed set comes out that money could be put being spent to buy THIS. It will be cool :smile: I'll do the same thing for LotR also.

On the alien note, I bought the quadrillogy thinking they were DVD, oh well f**k YOU TOO FERRET cause they were VHS. Damn me and my stupidity. There goes like 50$ (yes it was expensive VHS's lol) and I didn't even get nice DVDs with it.

I didn't know the Alien: Quadrilogy came in VHS format :lol: (Pay no attention to that price, they over charge for everything, I believe you can find A:Q at Target for like $50)

I'll definatly invest in this Matrix Box set though ... need to buy the Quadrilogy too.

It was just one of the best on screen fights ever ...

I think the word "Quadrillogy" was invented specifically to describe the box set.
