Does anyone have any news if theres going to be a Saw blu-ray set? with the newest movie coming out soon i would think they would do a blu-ray set. Or am i just stuck buying each movie by itself? Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't be surprised if they spring up a surprise box set of the movies, nothing has been announced yet though. Keep in mind though at Amazon now Saw 1 and 2 are less than 20 dollars a piece, 3 being like 22.

No bundle has been announced but like the previous said, you can find Saw 1 and 2 at Amazon.com for $18.49 a piece.

Probably the best price you'll see for them right now. I'm waiting to see them in a B1G1, personally. (:

Just be advised that:
-Saw 1 Blu-Ray is just the theatrical version instead of the unrated edition.
-Saw 2 Blu Ray is missing a lot of features from the 2 disc DVD.
-Saw 3 Blu-Ray is just unrated version instead of the 2 disc Director's Cut.
-Saw 4 Blu-Ray is also going to be unrated however if past releases are any indication, we will definitely see another version of Saw 4 this Halloween right before Saw 5 comes out.
What I'm trying to say is that there is a good chance that Lionsgate is going to re-release the Saw movies on Blu-Ray with their proper editions further down the road so you might want to wait. If you're not as picky as I am or don't really care what version of the movie you get then by all means go buy them.

Hold off 2 more years till the final 2 movies are out. I'm sure then they'll make a decent box set with directors cut of each one with some decent bonus material.

I basically use this same logic. I bought the first saw on DVD as soon as it was released, but upon wising up to Lionsgate's double-dipping, I've been holding off to buy the "special/director's/ultimate" editions before the release of the next film. As much as I'd love to watch these great movies on blu ray, I just can't pay for something that I KNOW is less than what I should be getting.
Sometimes I wish the government would step in and prevent businesses from scamming the American public like this. I know some people would argue it's like buying a car though, with different levels of features. The only difference is, when a new car is released, it doesn't negate the existence/value (complete) of the older one. Anyone buy a used DVD on half.com lately?

Japan gets the box set March 18th.
Lionsgate has made no announcement for the box set here in the states, but Lionsgate doesn't region code their movies anymore, so you could import the box set, I havent read the specs on them yet though.
But more than likely, well be seeing a box set around the summertime, or even possibly the fall.
I have all of them individually.. and theyre so worth it :)

There is a possibility that Lionsgate/Maple (in North America) will release a quadrilogy boxset in October.
It is a given fact that every year (normally in October) another variant / cut / edition of a SAW film is out.
Below is the current SAW (Trilogy) so far released in US/Canada...

How much are you selling for? LOL!!! I'm j/k... I really like your collection but what's up with Punisher?
Edit: Have you bought an Jigsaw actual sized doll sitting on chair and the other one with the bike.
I did not bought a Jigsaw puppet, only the DVDs/UMDs/BluRays. As for the Punisher DVD (it was actually on of the most RARE SAW Edition to obtain, luckily I bought it back in 2004 at Bestbuy .. it was the very first SAW DVD *preview released in the market)
Here is a Retro Thread in CheapAssGamer... Well, it was the main source even when I red it at DVDTALK

OMG xage, now that is a dedicated collection. Just be glad you are just sticking to the disks & not buying into other SAW collectibles. Or your collection might get out of control.
