Everything that was on the Quadrilogy (including the stuff that was supposed to be but wasn't due to censorship/technical glitches) is on here.Originally Posted by Chas in CT
I'm sure that somewhere in these threads is the answer to this question, but I'm going to take the lazy way out and ask it anyway:
After acquiring the Blu-ray set, if one has reasonable expectations of being a completist, is there any reason to hang on to the Quadrilogy (or the equivalent individual releases)? If memory serves correctly, the 20th anniversary DVD of Alien is necessary for the extra alternate soundtrack (?), and I think someone said the Alien Saga DVD has a little more than was ported over.
Obviously, one reason to retain them is if you need to play DVDs somewhere, but I'm declaring that a non-issue for me at this point, and I just want to be sure I'm not going to kick myself later for some reason once I've sent the Quad to a good home.
The only reason I'd see to hold on to it is the documentaries are in 1.33:1 full frame (as shot) where as the Anthology reframed nearly everything to 1.78 (the Bob Burns piece remains full frame for some odd reason).
