Excellent news that Fox finally got Die Hard 3 right.

Way back when we had an HTF conversation with the Fox rep at the time, I asked him what had happened with Vengeance (this was right around the time they released the 2-disc collector's editions on DVD) since the DVD looked almost as bad as the laserdisc, and he said that it wasn't the transfer so much as the source material.

He didn't elaborate any further on that, but whatever the reason, it finally looks right, at least based on those screenshots.

Just a heads up. DeepDiscount.com lowered their price on the 4-pack collection to match Amazon's and after one of the 20% coupons is now $66.36

I'm still amazed at how bad SD DVD looks in comparison to HDM.

DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!

The difference truly is stunning, and the film grain is a beautiful thing.

Thanks - I've been up in the air about the price of this set, but the coupon tipped me over the edge.

Got my set yesterday and I kinda wished I'd have paid the extra money for the individual releases because the packaging design plain sucks, plus the case was damaged.

WOW those look great. I was particularly wondering if the third film was going to finally look decent and boy does it. Quite an improvement on DH too but not as much. Where's the comparisons for DH2?
