Aliens + Blu-Ray = Awesome!, July 27, 2010
This review is from: Alien Anthology [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
It's going to be better than DVD, right? Of course it will, you have to upscale a DVD to get it to 720p or 1080i. Lets not kid ourselves, the quality will be much clearer and sound quality should be improved.
I'll take it over a VHS/DVD any day. As a Alien fan, who has probably watched Aliens at least a few hundred times, if not more, this is a great addition that I will watch over and over again.
I will get my money out of this box-set, there's no doubt about that!
Wish Amazon had the Limited Edition Egg for sale on here. Can get it from FoxConnection for 135 if you get the 10% off coupon for singing up with them.
Here's some good pics of it:
