We've been informed that the R1 box of Alien Quadrilogy may be available locally in the next couple of weeks. No pricing details have been released yet, but we'll keep you posted as we receive new information.

Have seen it already. PARC has a couple already.

Almost 50 hours all in all

Is it worth the price of entry? I'm guessing that Viva will probably sell the box between 3.5K and 4.5K. With the coming Grand AstroPlus Podium sale, the individual R3 films are going down to P575 each (although these are definitely inferior in terms of video quality and special features).

Will the movies be release in R3 separately?

Any news? Release na ba dito yan?

firewired · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 18, 2004 at 10:27 PM »

Fox is shipping this out from abroad before the end of the month, so the stocks should be in the Philippines sometime in April.

By the way, The Alien Quadrilogy R1 set will be an exclusive Astrovision/AstroPlus release in partnership with Viva Video.

I received word from Viva last night that the Alien Quadrilogy Region 1 box will be exclusively available at all Astrovision and AstroPLUS branches starting April 13. Retail price is confirmed at Php2.8-K.

Please note that since this is a direct import release, stocks are very limited. If you intend to buy this set, buy it soon.

Can we make reservations for this title already at the Astro stores?

May promos ba sila for pinoydvd members?

WOW, at last may definite date na rin at isang linggong tulugan nalang, hehehe, i'd been anticipating this since you broke the news last march 7 mainly because of its very reasonable price

thanks a lot for the info boss firewired, dapat walang gastos ngayong holy week para may pambili nito, hehehe

Are you sure that the packaging would be any good. THIS IS VIVA FILMS we are talking about. They are notorious for short changing r3 releases!!!!!!

JhunDV · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 12, 2004 at 11:10 AM »

Since it's an R1 release (direct import) and not R3, i think the same packaging will be used.

wrAth · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 12, 2004 at 12:23 PM »

A steal indeed.

pambawi dun sa natalo ko para sa Schindler's List giftset. hehehehe.

To quote from the front page:

UPDATE: Viva Home Video clarified that the Alien Quadrilogy box is a Region 3 version release and not the Region 1 version as earlier expected. Delivery is still confirmed for April 13. Viva assured PinoyDVD that the set is still a full FOX import and is packaged identically to its Region 1 counterpart. All discs and special features are intact except possibly for the substitution of Asian subtitles.

Oh well. The head of Viva's Fox marketing group assured me that except for the Region 3 disc setting, the box set is comparable to the Region 1 release. To Viva's credit, recent Fox releases have been top notch so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Limited edition pa rin kaya ito? R3 pala, e. Baka naman maraming stock. It's undoubtedly a steal at that price, pero medyo short tayo ngayon. $:-\$

jas · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 13, 2004 at 06:56 AM »

I really don't mind if its an R3 release as long as all special features of the R1 are intact....

OO nga limited pa ba ito? Kung marami namang stock eh later na lang ako bibili. Im saving up for my AVR and speakers eh.

I think the R3 will come as a 5discs set so some of the R1 special features will not be available.

What gave you that idea, when it's all over this web site, both on the main index page and in firewired's replies in this thread that it's a 9-disc set?

firewired · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 13, 2004 at 09:57 AM »

I'm verifying now. As far as I know, it's the 9-disc set. JT is based in Singapore however so he's probably referring to the R3 release there -- so yes, I'm a bit worried at this point. If Viva is importing an R3 release, hopefully it's not that one.

firewired · « **Reply #25 on:** Apr 13, 2004 at 10:50 AM »

Just got word from Viva. Their response was fairly direct - "We assure you that we are releasing the 9-disc version."

Sana nga 9discs set ang ire-release dyan. I saw an alien quadrilogy boxset here which comes with 5 discs only, di ako sure kung r3 nga but definitely not a pdvd.

i have faith in Viva (naks). totoong super OK ang mga nahuhuling releases nila. baka isa ako sa mga unang bibili. malaki lang ako sa podium. Off ko na in one hour!

I just bought the set from AstroVision Glorietta. It's a 9-disc set with booklet in a cool packaging, embossed egg in front. Bestbuy talaga... Only 5 copies were released to their branch so there are now only 4 sets remaining.

Cover Art and packaging same as R2 :
