I was asking for a comparison between the old Aliens dvd and the Aliens dvd from the quadrilogy, but nevermind. I went ahead and bought the quadrilogy today. I watched Alien and Aliens on a big wide projector TV, they looked great. The transfer on Aliens was much, much better...the old one was painfully grainy.

On the back of the box all the movies say director's cut 2003, except for Aliens, which says 1993 (or something close to that). Is the new Aliens dvd the same as the old one, just better quality? I didn't notice anything different about it, so I'm guessing it's the latter.

The box is extremely annoying though. God help anyone who needs to get to disc 1 and doesn't have acces to a clear table to fold the box out.

I usually only venture away from R1 when it comes out more than 3 months advance...such was the case with all the Family Guy dvd's, as well as 28 Days Later and Johnny English...and a lot of the Doctor Who dvds only come out in england.
