Just saw this new cover art on Amazon.com and it looks like a Steelbook or another form of metal packaging...

This is so silly...all the re-re-re-releases. Sure, it's different artwork from the others, but it's still dull, uninspired and mediocre at best. The first Matrix alone has so much awesome artwork potential, yet this is what they go with. 3 people dressed in black, with black shades, giving us "we look badass in black" stares. It's a good thing only two of them have black hair, and the other is bald. Then again, it's Lawrence Fishburne, he's actually black, so he doesn't need black hair to cover the black swag thing.

How about something original, for a change?

P.S - This film was released in 1999. We already had a 10th Anniversary release, 4 years ago.

I couldnt have said this better myself, I hate that every movie that has a steel are getting a bunch or re-releases. There are thousands of other movies that could get a steel and should get a steel before this gets its what 4th release

I have no problem with steelbooks being re-released as there are always new people discovering the joy of collecting. I don't mind if it's the same artwork or different. I happen to like this artwork, but I don't like the price over $20.

I do agree however that it is annoying when Warner keep selling the same titles in steelbook format when a little more variety wouldn't kill them.

Perhaps some US ninjas (including some with studio connections, and experience in sales, marketing etc.) could come together and set up our own exclusive steelbook company?

I just might purchase this :thumbs: since I don't own any of the Matrix movies on Blu-Ray :emb: ... not yet! Any news if Reloaded and Revolutions will be released as single steelbooks?
 
I have the last steelbook release of this with white cover. I also have the ultimate DVD boxset which I have to say is extreamly well presented.
 
this looks pretty nice to me :)
have you seen/bought some other titles from this wave? thanks in advance and thanks for the picture(do not hesitate posting more photos of this steel..lol)
