Im surprised no one's pointed this out, but the box says "The complete adventures.." which is untrue since theres another installment coming out July 4th 2005, hint hint. Also, because of this, Im just going to wait for Indy 4 to come out on the DVD box set too.
And by then, there will problably be more special features...
Doesn't this make logical (and not to mention, financial) sense to you?
So my question, hmpf, why not just wait for the fourth?
Maybe because the fans are dying for the DVD's to come out. Plus there has to be something every year: ET this year, the DVDs next year and finally Indy 4 the year after. And for them it's a good way to make money, they know the stupid fans (including me) will buy it. I mean how to resist!? not buying it means one whole year of Indy frustration.
Aha! But to you and all who read, have the thought crossed that you could rent it, check out all the cool features(3 hours worth), get through the three movies and return it before your late fee? Think of it as a down payment until the more satisfying set comes with # 4 included.
You'll problably have to plan your weekend though.
Or, you could simply ignore it and rent or buy other worthwhile movies.
It's possible that they just make a complete "Special Collection" a year after Indy IV has been released.
The fans are so fanatic that they buy it anyway. It's maybe also why there aren't audio commentaries included, maybe they will be released later in a new "Special Edition" or "Collectors Edition" or whatever they call it.
swords, this thread is a prime example of why I consider you one of the most thoughtful people around the Raven (no offense to everyone else). That never even occured to me; thanks for the idea. I believe I may do the same.
Or, when the fourth comes out on DVD, you could just remove the bonus disc out of the 'package of the complete advntures' and put the fourth there... That way the bonus disc will be its own sepicial dvd to be placed next to the box set, but not in.
One reluctant, another observant, one who disagrees, one who agrees, and two with clever ideas, the former of the ideas is something I can actually see myself doing.
Thanks for the words Professor, you make me want to go make threads on other boards...
If I reant it, it probably wouldn't come with the bonus DVD because the films would only be rentable individually. I've never seen a place in my country where you could rent a whole box set (that's maybe because I haven'looked much).
Sure people think its because they want to make money but I think its also partially, if not completely, because the fans let know they really want this boxset. Also I want a dvd trilogy set without the fourth movie. The three original will always be different to the fourth no matter how good that fourth will be.
Two boxsets, thanks Lucasfilm. Great times for fans.
Yeah, thats a good point. Since the first three is the ultimate set itself, even if you want to get it with Indy 4 attached, theres no reason why you shouldn't get this one.
I feel I sound a little right wingy with my topic here, not like Im forcing anyone to wait for Indy 4, do what you choose of course.

I did get that set; I don't recall when exactly in relation to the release. I did not, nor even consider, the more recent set. I suppose I'll probably spring for the Blu-Rays...there are very few films that are worth replacing on the new format, but these are probably among them. (The count up to now, if you're keeping track, is Stagecoach and The Godfather, I think. I considered one or two of the Disney ones, but I've heard bad things about the Blu-Ray restorations.)
(Man, do you like holding my younger self's feet to the fire! )

You're one of the only historians around here to tell us stories about the old days granpa. How likely is it they'll make us buy all four together.
The Soundtracks were bundled, well after Skull was on sale, now I have two of those. Raiders was made available sortly after the box set, but I don't remember any official announcement...
Regardless I didn't get Skull on Blu-Ray. Raiders may just get me to spring on a PS3.

And I'm happy to do it. (I still am young!)

Raiders was made available separately? I don't think I recall that. And I was
"forced" to double-dip on the KotCS soundtrack too.

Yeah, I didn't either. And I finally sprung for a PS3 - the first gaming system I ever bothered with - last summer, largely because of Red Dead Redemption. (Uncharted's a good time too.) The DVD player, to replace our dying old one, and the Blu-Ray capacity, are great perks.

That's why I said I was taking all of the Professor's classes.

I feel much the same about replacing DVDs. I don't see a need for it in most cases, but since so much detail has been discussed in these threads, there's a chance that some answers may be found on Blu-ray.

Content is my only driving factor, which is why the melting heads featurette on the new dvd releases, ect. piss me off/have me hopefull regarding the next format.
But if history shows us anything we have to get each iteration...the Laser Disk is home to the Phil Schuman documentary to end all documentaries and is nowhere else on a Lucasfilm product, well VHS...
