Who didn't see that coming? I suppose fans will be buying this version to go with the individual ones they already have. Just like all the versions of Lord of the Rings.

Still I don't see why there need to be so many discs. Lets look at what you get;

Disc One: The Matrix
- All-new transfer supervised by the Wachowskis and director of photography (DP), Bill Pope
- Audio commentary by Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, DP Bill Pope and other cast and crew

Disc Two: The Matrix Revisited (180 Minutes)
- Same special features as previous release
- Offers comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the first film in the trilogy

Disc Three: Matrix Reloaded Extended Version (190 Minutes)
- New cut incorporating 55 minutes of footage shot for the 'Enter The Matrix' game
- Audio commentaries by Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Production Designer Owen Paterson, 2nd Unit Directors David Ellis and Kimble Rendall and other cast and crew

Disc Four: Matrix Reloaded Revisited - Special Features (180 Minutes)
- Includes all new footage including dozens of never-before-seen cast and crew interviews, scene dissections, explorations of the production design and special effects, and more

Disc Five: Matrix Revolutions
- Audio commentaries by Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Special Effects Supervisor, John Gaeta; editor, Zach Staenberg and other cast and crew

Disc Six: Matrix Revolutions Revisited - Special Features (180 Minutes)
- Includes all new footage including dozens of never-before-seen cast and crew interviews, scene dissections, explorations of the production design and special effects, and more

Disc Seven: The Animatrix
- Same special features as previous release

Disc Eight: The Roots Of The Matrix - Special Features (180 Minutes)
- The Matrix and the History of the Action Genre - Examines the many influences of action cinema that make up The Matrix
- Brainiacs’ Revenge - Scholars, Philosophers, Theorists, and Charlatans deconstruct the intellectual underpinnings of the trilogy
- The Science Behind the Fiction – Is the notion of a real Matrix plausible? An investigation of the technologies that inspire the metaphor of The Matrix

Disc Nine: The Burley Man Chronicles - Special Features (75 Minutes)
- The Burley Man Chronicles - The “Human” story of the making of the Matrix, as well as the game Enter the Matrix
- Rave Reel- A club-oriented montage of unused and newly edited footage from Reloaded
- Spoofs of the Matrix -The “Best-Of” these various clips

Disc Ten: The Zion Archive - Special Features
- Zion Archive - Production assets developed for the Matrix universe, including concept artwork, storyboards, drawings, etc
- Basic ROM Features

----

Okay that's everything, anyone likely to get it? Myst you up for this? £44.99 is the Recommend Retail Price so it might go down. Perhaps it would be a good buy during a sale or something, maybe £24.99 :)

where's that from? And is it available yet?

I don't care about the flaws of the trilogy, I've been waiting for this box set for ages!

I'd get it if I didn't already own all three films. I love special features, but I'm not about to spend 40 quid on them.

Did anybody watch the Animatrix? It was quite good, strange, but good...

I've already got a £40 Special Edition DVD Set for the original alone...

I might get this, but it's the disappointing quality of the sequels that's holding me back. Hopefully there'll be a feature that explains the story in it's entireity, though. Although I've deciphered most of it, it'd be nice to have something that shows all the subtleties.

Although that may defeat the point of them entirely.

I'm not suprised, they obviously want the Christmas market, so a lot of people might be getting it for Christmas this year. I think the Star Wars Trilogy is coming out in September though
