The Predator looks a little strange, don't you think?
Notice the spikes on the helmet? Interesting. You posting it up?
No, I was going to but I don't see the point anymore. I'm pretty annoyed that all these are, are just repackaged versions. I was hoping for new special features.
You're not even gonna put them up on the DVD page?
They're not even english. :P
I'll wait until something that actually says Predator 2 comes out rather than Depredador.
Lol, good point. :D
Where can one find detailed reviews on these Definitive editions?
I don't think there will even be any reviews of them when they're released. Since they're just repackaged versions.
EDIT: Higher-Res Images of the original three can be found on Amazon.co.uk:

You gotta admit, they do look very nice.
Those tins?
Yeah, I think somebody mentioned earlier they were tins.
*Considers it*...maybe.
but why use an alien from alien on the cover of Aliens?They did that with the previous edition :-[
It's from AvP actually.
;)your right but even so you think fox would notice the error :'(
Will there be Definitive Editions for Alien3, Alien Resurrection and Predator 2?

Of course there will. 8)
I wonder if AvP2 will be released in the same way? And whether they'll do the same with AvP? And if they do for both, whether they'll make a big boxset with them all.
Well, there's the AvP Monster Box. Still not released outside of Japan though.

No, doesn't look like it will be. It's been quite a while since it came out.

Hmm, interesting. Shame, they're not bringing the unrated version out instead.
Just brought to my attention on the IMDb - The Predator on the Predator 2 box art is the one from AvP 2, by the looks of it.
Sweet!
Yeah, someone in the AvP2 board just said that - our board. No wonder it looked a bit wierd! XD
I've just seen on Play.com that not only are the Predtor Definitive editions coming out at the end of April, looks like they have slightly re-packaged the original 2 disc Special Editions too, like they did with Alien films, there is no release date. Do a search for 'Predator' on their website and you'll see what I mean. I think it's the special edition with a card board sleeve with a white border. ???
Those were just re-releases. They originally came out March 2006 for all A/P DVDs.

Sounds like these so-called Definitive Editions are exactly identical to the Quadrilogy. >:(

I think your right :-\ why call them 'DEFINITIVE EDITIONS' if theres no new special features or new footage in them!
cause they are the most 'DEFINITIVE ' available on dvd,I suppose, but at a tenner each and the smart tin packaging they are a must :)
'Cause they come with a nifty tin.
I've seen the A/2/P ones around. They're boosting about fantastic quality movies and etc. I'm just wondering, maybe they managed to actually clean up Aliens? I would buy it if they got rid of the grain - but I don't think they'd actually be able to do it. Something to do with what the film was shot on? But if the video quality is improved, I might buy it.
I've ordered Alien, Aliens and Alien3 because HMV have already sold out! :o
Try your local WHSmith. Mine has them in.

I don't think i'm going to bother ordering them because it seems all your really paying for is the new DVD cover.
Just let me know if Aliens is cleaner.
I just got the Alien and Aliens Definitive Editions and I'm quite disappointed but not suprised. They are exactly like the Quadrilogy DVD's with the same menu and same features. Cool looking cases though I guess. (Aliens looks alot cleaner)
i have the quadrilogy and i love it, i´m not going to buy the dvds again just to get a cool case, quadrilogy´s case it´s cool!

Are the disc labels different? and is there any book or leaflet inside?
lol these releases' sole purpose is to squeeze some extra money out of the Aliens fans.
Mission accomplished.

So glad i wasn't going to buy them cos a friend of mine has and i laughed at him when he watched them and they were same as the Quadrilogy DVD's He was warned!

Inside the Alien case they used an Alien from AvP as the background. In the Aliens case the used Facehuggers emerging from eggs (also from AvP). Niether of them have books or leaflets... :-\
Gah. I canne find any reviews. Please, oh please, post up some screenshots of the film. :(
As far as I can tell (I bought mine last night at Asda! 7.97 each!) its exactly the same transfer but the tin and artwork are nice........very nice
