I'd love to have that box set because there's some great films that I only have on DVD. However, I suspect it will be out of my price range.

I also have the Network Blu-ray set. As if say box set with which I'm more than happy, I don't feel the need to replace it with one containing loads of extra features I'll probably never find time to watch!
