    According to Blu-ray.com:
    Get ready for the most thorough, encyclopedic, exhaustive collection of Alien-related supplements imaginable. If you're familiar with the Alien Quadrilogy DVD release, you'll find all of that material ported over here—Easter eggs, too—along with brand-new "Enhancement Pods" that feature almost five hours of additional material exclusive to this new Blu-ray set, including more behind-the-scenes footage, raw dailies, and interviews. The LaserDisc supplements are here as well, and—David Fincher fans take note—Wreckage and Rage: The Making of Alien 3 has been restored to its original run time. (For the 2003 DVD release, 20th Century Fox controversially cut out sections about Fincher's struggles with studio intervention.) All told, there are over 60 hours of special features and an unbelievable 12,000 images, from storyboards and sketches to production stills and cast portrait galleries. The sheer amount of material is overwhelming—literally, it would take days to view it all—but Fox has put together an easy-to-navigate menu system that makes accessing the bonus features a breeze.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
    Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    Wow, $39.83 for a region-free BD. That's a killer price. I almost bought what I though was a great deal for $69 not too long ago.

    BTW, aside from region-free, does anyone know if there's any other differences between the US and the UK versions?

    Keiko, congrats on the early Christmas present! Which players have you heard are having problem? Thanks.

    I'm awaiting its arrival to test it out. Previously I bought the BoBs & the Bourne Trilogy BD sets w/ really cool discount from that Amazon UK site; both played on my old Oppo BDP-83 without any issue.

    Woo hoo, my Alien Anthology set arrived, and all 6 UK-version discs are playable in my Oppo BDP-93 :smile: Can't wait until my new subs arrive to enjoy its bass :biggrin:
    Current price is not as good as when I bought the set, so guys, wait until it drops again, but you got to get this set, I mean it.
