I think the boxset had the 3D glasses for Part 6 or Part 7. The 3D is nothing special though. I have the boxset and it was great for way back when it was released. However, now there is an Infinifilm of Elm Street 1 and a better version of FvJ (2-disc set). How big of a fan are you? Do you just want the movies or extras?

probally just the movies ... just looking at upgrading... LOL i probally have part 1 - 3 on Beta (did part 4 come out on beta)

Then have all of them on VHS.. now just looking at DVD

got to love rebuying the same Freaking movies

I bought the boxset along with the Infinifilm edition for part 1. Then add in Freddy vs Jason to complete the set.

If I were you, I'd just buy the 2 4 Packs. I was able to get the Nightmare Collection ($34.99 now) for $22.99 around Halloween last year, and also bought the 4 Pack Volume 2 (with Freddy vs. Jason- only reason I bought it) for $5 at Target.

The "special features" don't justify the extra $ in my opinion.

i remember the bonus disc being pretty good in the box set...

Best solution:

Buy the two 4-packs for $20 (much less shelf space than the box)
Buy the 2-disc infinifilm version of part 1 for $5.81 shipped new (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000GETUDI/ref=sr_1_olp_8?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1245503018&sr=8-8) (amazon)
Optional: Buy the 2-disc F vs. J for $3.33 shipped new (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0000VCZMK/ref=sr_1_olp_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1245503125&sr=1-1) (4th one down) (amazon)

Now that you have all of the movies, you can get the coolest Freddy glove ever made:

all leather and metal, no plastic or junk parts, $39.99 + shipping (amazon)

The box set is great for collectors. It looks good on the shelf :applause:. I got mine last year for $22.99 before Halloween. But if you just want the movies, the 4 packs are your best bet since it includes Freddy vs Jason.:whee:

BTW, the glove is worth it.

I have had that box set for a long time now, longer then I can remember. The bonus disc is really nice. I bought mine when it was still around 100 bucks and think the set was worth it. Only 2 things I don't like is the second movie I thought was crap. Only watched it once when I got the set. However that is nothing against the set itself. The other thing I don't like about this set is to get one of the alt endings to the first movie you have to put in a code and only works on one dvd player. Atleast that is what I was reading all over the internet about this set when I first got it. Me I'd go for the box set but that is just me. I like the extras.

Those multi movie 2 disc things are a rip, they are double sides and come with alot of problems according to alot of people

i would go with the big set, it might be a little more expensive but well worth it.

The multi-movie packs are cheap, but as we all can agree upon being members of this forum, CHEAP is good! :applause:

I'll definitely agree that the Box set is the more "sexy" of the two, but if you just want the movies and nothing else, then buy the two 4 Movie sets.

Does the nice set still come with the 3d glasses? I should have picked this up for $22 last Halloween. I shall try again this Halloween.

[BelieveTheHype]

i know the box set comes with 3d glasses...i have that one.
