Maybe it's just me, but lately I've caught myself noticing that DVDs are [slowly, but surely] becoming obsolete.. To make matters worse, the companies that make the awesome Blu-Ray boxsets know this, and make fucking awesome looking sets, to make you want their beautiful sets over the plain black and plastic DVD case. Below, I'm going to mention just a few of the boxsets that I think are going to be reason for me to get a Blu-Ray Player; you win this time, Hollywood.. this time.
———————————————————————————–
- Assuming you can't see the fantastic boxset above; this is Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One: Avengers Assembled. All this for $150 [which comes with all six Marvel Studios movies, on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D in a suitcase replica with a glowing Tesseract- goddamn] this crazy set is finally coming out just in time to pump you up for Iron Man 3...and [apparently] some surprise glimpses of future projects are also rumored to contained inside. I gotta say, this looks quite perfect, and if I had a blu-ray player; it'd probably be number one on my "new DVDs to buy list". [after season 7 of 'Dexter' of course]

- This set here is none other than the Universal Classic Monsters: Essentials Collection. This 8 disc blue-ray boxset follows the era of the older horror movies. This collection [and man do they ever mean 'collection'] hass 8 of the most iconic monsters in film history which includes Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, Phantom Of The Opera and Creature From The Black Lagoon. As if that wasn't enough to keep you satisfied; the movies each come with over 12 hours of revealing bonus features- and to top it all off, there is also an exclusive collectible book which is only available through buying this boxset!
———————————————————————————–
- This is probably the one which caught my attention the most; this Limited Edition Blu-Ray boxset of Season 3 of The Walking Dead is probably the coolest looking thing I'm going to mention here. There is literally no words that describe how fucking crazy it is to know that this is actually holds the discs to season 3.. I guess this means I should probably catch up on the show, right?
———————————————————————————–
- Although this has technically already been out for some time now, I figure that it's worth mentioning.. The boxset above, is for The Amazing Spider-Man and although it isn't as awesome looking as The Walking Dead one- it's still pretty sick. It comes with the film in a limited edition steelbook cover [the movie comes in both in 3D and 2D], a disc with special features, a [small but still nice looking] figurine, and the comic book the film is based on. Although I enjoyed Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield ultimately was the Spider-Man I've been looking for since I was a kid [as someone who reads the comics]
———————————————————————————–
So I guess as you can see, I most definitely have to get a Blu-Ray Player, because these boxsets are really really nice looking. [if I may refer back to The Walking Dead Season 3 set] I guess we'll have to wait and see.. Also, to go off topic for a second, I figure I should share that I [hopefully] am going to go see the new Evil Dead film sometime very soon. Due to working at a theater, I can check ahead of time how many tickets are sold, and last I checked [being Monday]- there was only 15 seats sold. So if this falls into place; expect a review to come up on that shortly!
