Classic Indy Rides Again On DVD
According to the American Film Institute, he's the greatest action-adventure hero of all time -- and his unforgettable exploits can be relished by fans old and new as never before when all three Indiana Jones movies debut as individual Special Edition DVDs and in an all-new box set on May 13.
Released by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Entertainment, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Special Edition DVDs boast all-new, exclusive bonus features that dig deeper into the making of these cinematic milestones than ever before. All three were originally restored and remastered in 2003. Created with fans of all ages in mind, the bonus features provide never-before-seen explorations of the making of these classic movies and showcase the characters, action and extraordinary visual effects that have made the movies indelible cinematic treasures.
Each film makes its DVD debut just days before the highly anticipated return of the "Man in the Hat" in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
"An entire generation of movie lovers will get to see these classic films in a digital format that makes them even more amazing than when they were first in theaters," said Howard Roffman, Vice President of Lucasfilm Ltd. "These new, individual DVDs are a fantastic way to introduce young audiences to the unforgettable, action-packed adventures of the most daring archaeologist in the world."
Directed by Steven Spielberg from stories by executive producer George Lucas, the three Indiana Jones movies earned six Academy Awards® and nearly $1.2 billion worldwide. From the groundbreaking excitement of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) to the sinister mysteries of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and the father-son adventure of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), the heroic Dr. Jones continues to delight audiences with his thrilling on-screen exploits.

I'm weighing up whether I want to buy these. The last box-set was garbage. Though I do own it because well the films are great, but the dvd extras are lacking and the cover art is pretty lame. But since when has Lucasfilm been able to do a box-set right?
I'm not interested in Blu-Ray at the moment, but it's interesting that Lucasfilm is ignoring the format on this release.
So who is going to double dip?
Edit: Note to Lucasfilm - the first film is not called Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The opening title proves this.
Actually going through the SE dvd extras and the bonus disc for the previous release, this release pales in comparison. It's not much more than an advertisement for the lego game and Crystal Skull. I do love the cover art though, especially on Temple of Doom. I may purchase these when they are clearanced.
