Regular G2's can only hold 3 discs. So it would have to either be a G1, or a jumbo G2 like the German Jurassic Park Trilogy. Since both G1s, and G2 jumbos can hold 6 discs, you'd have thought they'd have included the 2 extras discs as well though.

I'm pretty sure that's what i said?

Hasnt it also been confirmed that this will be G2?

Until a further announcement is made, its all guess work

 

[dvdjunkie]

Fingers crossed

I'm pretty sure that's what i said?

Here's hoping it will be a 6 disc jumbo G2 and not a 4 disc G1! That way I can sell on my still sealed Blu-Ray 6 disc-er as I don't want to part with it atm due to the 2 additional discs.

Maybe that was the plan all along...

Guys-as far as we have been told all of the Steels in the UK wave are G2's. We will post more info once available. There will be 4 discs in this set-movies only.

DB has not gotten any sleep since this has been revealed. She is setting up a seperate room for Alien, like an expectant mother

 

[digitalbabe]

Now THAT, my friend, was funny

 

[Lone Crusader]

DB, let's hope it's not a chest burster.

 

[digitalbabe]

Seriously, that would put a serious damper on my plans to rock it to sleep at night....

 

[blu-steel]

Gonna be cool if the face hugger is embossed!!!

 

[Lucky101]

don't care if it's a jumbo case....it's going to be very nice with my Alien Egg Edition.

 

[raspor]

cheers, ordered

 

[Holly Go]

Amazing...Are you getting one DB??..lol

 

[cooey]

So so tempted with this but I don't know if I can justify the double dip

 

[flugel83]

Me neither! Still happy with the UK boxset with that beautiful art, but what if i'm letting this steelbook slip away and it is sold out in no time

[Rockafella]

This has to be a must buy for any collectors mildly interested in this genre, just lovely artwork!

 

[digitalbabe]

Holly, forgone conclusion-long ordered! Ha!

 

[townterrier]

Some ridiculous pre-order prices on Ebay....£30!

Oh well......ordered mine direct from Play.com

For an eBay price that's cheap

(Disclaimer: I noticed my smiley may make it appear I am selling these on eBay for £30 - I'm not)

 

[Wreck]

Ok, just to put minds at ease ... I have confirmed that a G2 is capable of holding 4 discs.

I didnt bother to ask if this is a "new" thing, but the point is it can hold 4 discs as of now.

Logically, I've always thought this was possible ... If you got two 2 disc holders on each side they wouldnt fit as they center holder would mash together however if you flipped one (ie. created a new plastic insert with them in reverse of each other) then it should close just fine. (my theory)

 

[Buffalo MX]

are the discs region free?


got the answer:
Alien Anthology in the regular Amaray box for the UK was region free, so I am assuming these are, too. Won't know for sure until someone receives though...
