Urggh. 42 disc (dvd) set, includes all 20 original films, plus Casino Royale. In their own words:
“Presented on two-disc special edition DVDs spanning 42 discs, each mission grants all-access to the chronicles of the agent’s storied career from the Bond archives, including deleted scenes, rare interviews, documentaries, featurettes, interactive film guides, music videos, audio commentaries and more.”
Each film has been…
“…recently restored and re-mastered for optimal sound and picture quality.”
The complete set retails for $270 CDN, pre-orderable October 10.
Or, you could get the Ultimate Edition box set for $180 at Amazon now, and grab a previously viewed copy of Casino Royale (2006) from BlockBuster for $8. Your call.
Disclaimer: I have no idea if these discs are any different from the UE’s – though both this new release and the UE’s are 2-disc sets – and I find it hard to imagine that MGM’s dredged up another set of extras for each film; I’ve emailed MGM and will post a response.

There’s no way these are anything but repackaged Ultimate Editions. That would be crazy.

That was my take, but why bother with another release?
