Ok, so all the other reviews are whining about the lack of special features. Personally, I love these movies, they were the definition of Sci-Fi horror, well, until the AVP wastes.
But I have never watched a special feature, nor have i listened to a director's commentary. I just don't care about those things. I simply want these movies. This pack has them. if you want to own these movies, this is a GREAT deal.
If you care about what the director ordered for lunch on the 5th day of shooting, then spend twice the money and get the special super pack. If not, this pack is for you!

Depends on how much you like the movies included. I actually enjoyed both Alien Vs. Predator movies movies as time has passed. At first I thought they were both horrible travesties, but now when I watch them I am oddly entertained. The other six movies are classics (well, except for the 4th Alien movie), and the transfer is decent enough.

I like the slim packaging (I really wish that all movies were now release in the slim cases...takes up less space). It would've been nice if a couple of bonus disc with material for Aliens, Predators and AVP would've been included. It's definately cheap to buy this set than all of the movies individually.

if your looking for the best alien and predator collection this is it. sure there are 2 new movies coming out on blu ray soon (predators and an alien prequel(so i hear)) but get the collection started right. true fans need this set. dont wait for the blu ray collections. too expensive and the quality of alien (1), and the first 2 predators is like watching the old star wars. just not a lot of technology back then. movies are great, effects hard to come by. BUT... get this set. cheap, fast delivery(super saver, like 5 days). the only downside is the box the dvds are in. its really flemsy, like cereal box flemsy. but if you dont care about that because your careful with your toys anyway like me then it wont matter. great deal and worth the money. almost a third of the price of the alien anthology blu ray set and you get all 8 movies, not 4. get it, bottom line.

I got this a few months ago only because I didnt have the last two alien movies and the predator movies and this pack is okay. There are almost no special feautures so thats a bad thing, but get this if you want a cheap way to get all the movies without many special feautures. (I got it for 54$ at bestbuy)

Though I might not like all the movies in this collection it is worth getting the Alien and Predator series. It can be difficult to find some of these by themselves in widescreen as well.

Ok, so this sets rocks period. 8 nights of Alien/Predator movies and your hooked. Now Im buying posters, toys, masks, video games, comics, and novels as much as I can from now on. All the transfers and quality was right on except the only downside, the "Predator" 1 DVD transfer/recording seems like it was made from a VHS tape. Now Ive heard that the only "Predator" DVD and Blu-Ray transfer was done this way so you cant complain because thats how all of them are. Also, my tv is stuck at 1080i (its from 2006) and I watched the Predator DVD on a 480p tv and it looks fine. I bought the Matrix 4 movie collection and it came on two disc double sided, this set every disc is stand alone with a cool sticker/graphic on it. Plus all the disc have special features so it is loaded with extra content. This set rocks!

8 movies. 8 discs. Considering that the Quadrilogy box had 9 discs for 4 movies... let's do the math here. Did you buy the "Legacy" boxset and then smack yourself in the forehead upon news of the Quadrilogy? Did you buy the Quadrilogy boxset and then smack yourself in the forehead upon news of the 7-movie, 15-disc "Ultimate Showdown DVD Collector's Set" (the one with a comic book, two light-up statues, and two tickets to AVP:R)? Did you buy that boxset and then smack yourself in the forehead upon news of this one? Did you buy the Indiana Jones "Trilogy" boxset only to be thwarted by the Crystal Skull? Batman Legacy (4 discs) vs. Anthology (8 discs)? How many Star Trek movie boxsets have there been? Seriously. Wait for the twenty-disc box. It's coming. Be patient.

If you absolutely positively must have some Alien and Predator goodness on DVD right now, buy the Alien Quadrilogy, the 4-disc Predator 1/2 boxset, and the 4-disc AVP/AVP:R boxset. More DVDs. More hours. More stuff to watch.

(or just get the Quadrilogy... the Predator and AVP movies really aren't all that great)

EDIT: Hey guys, guess what? An "Alien" prequel project is coming soon with Carl Rinsch directing, and "Predators", produced by Robert Rodriguez, is also in the pipeline. It's like I'm telepathic. So yeah, wait until there's a ten-movie boxset with like 25 discs. THAT will be the one to buy (probably).

8 movies for less then forty bucks how can you go wrong! the discs come in slim cases, and the package looks great on the shelf

If you like the movies and like to have the extended cuts and you don't care about special features this is the one for you. Also the dvd's come in slim cases so it saves space.
