Good lord. I know the price will come down somewhat, but it still isn't unusual to see the first film going for around $35. Mind you, all three films on Blu are around $10 together. So odd that WB is pricing these so high. I'm in the minority that likes all three films and even I won't pay that much for them.
Yeah, I preordered Revolutions and Reloaded, but if the price doesn't drop by about half before street date, I'll wait. The Matrix hit $14.99 fairly quickly.
I guess the 2 movies didn't get new scans like the first movie, right?
maybe I'll wait for a trilogy 1080p box with the remastered first movie included.
I'm not sure I'll buy the sequels again. I picked up the first film on UHD for $15 recently, so the sequels will have to drop to at least that price before I would consider a purchase.

Aw jeez, how many times am I gonna buy these movies? Well.... I guess at least one more time. Those covers in the set are gorgeous (not as impressed by the stand-alones... or maybe the rabbit-key-sentinel covers are under those slipcases...?*).
