JAMES BOND CELEBRATES FIFTY INCREDIBLE YEARS

WITH GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY BLU-RAY COLLECTION


BOND 50 showcases fifty years of Bond neatly packaged into one cool, sleek collectable box-set featuring all six iconic James Bond actors. Produced using the highest possible picture quality and audio presentation, the collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace and more than 130 hours of bonus features including some new and exclusive content.

Typical, finally I cave and buy the UK titles that were released outside of the boxset and this happens!!

While I'm happy that they're finally releasing the rest of the films on BluRay I am disappointed that they are starting out with another boxed set. Predictable but annoying for those of us who already purchased the prior BluRay releases. I'm dying to see Goldeneye, Diamonds are Forever and The Spy Who Loved Me on my rig, but I'm going to wait for the individual releases. I've bought these movies too many times already and I don't feel like doing a BluRay double dip.

Amazon UK clearly the better way to go...$120 for the set shipped to the US vs. the $200 Amazon US price tag. Is there a chance this will be region locked? (I think most Fox discs are region free).

October is a long way off: things could change before then.


I thought Fox was voted the one most likely to region lock titles.

Yeah I really hate the crap about releasing a bunch of partial box or season sets and then as a reward they crap all over their biggest fans and release a late in the game giant set with tons of exclusive content (and, in this case, for now, even exclusive titles). I will wait and no I won't get sucked into the exclusive content if that is what they think of us.

OMGOMGOMG I just jizzed. In my pants.


I've been waiting for this day since the day Bluray was announced. I'm so happy I could cry



And literally 2 mins ago I took delivery of my new PJ (Epson 8350)!


Looks like it doesn't include the original Casino Royale or Never Say Never Again, which I actually liked. That's fine, as they aren't "official" Bond films.


And it's also not a collector's edition with gambling chips or martini glass set or aforementioned miniature Aston. Dammit, do I have to wait for that to be released?


edit: I just sent a mail to foxmovies@fox.com asking if there are plans for a deluxe collector's edition. If there's enough interest for a Scarface-style edition I'm sure they would make it, so please contact Fox as well!


edit2: anyone know where to get that really nice 50th anniversary poster ?

$120 for all BD movies yet AMazon sill sells only six of them form two for the three packs for $90. That is an excellent deal.

I wonder if I can sell my other box sets and get this. For $120 from the UK that seems like a steal.


That is a great deal now, but that is also with the current exchange rate. If I pre order now, the exchange rate could go up significantly.

Both are already available on Blu-ray separately.

this is the only way to get you only live twice?

cool looking set but the problem is that since franchise will apparently never end, this is definitely not the 'definitive' James Bond collection. There will be more and I'm not sure I want to spend $120 on something I know won't last very long. I'd prefer buying them separately and build my own set.

If they're the same discs as previously, the UK editions won't have the mono tracks though.

Omg, just finish the other "sets" you started! Wow, so annoying.
