After news broke that Warner Bros Japan planned to release The Matrix on Blu-ray, many wondered if a North American release was planned. Well wonder no more, Matrix fans! Today, Warner Bros. announced that ‘The Ultimate Matrix Collection’ will be released on October 14, 2008.
The set is similar to the HD DVD version previously released. A total of seven discs are included, on which all three films, The Animatrix and tons of extras are presented. One such extra is a Digital Copy of the first Matrix.
Blu-ray.com reports that Warner Home Video Japan has announced that it will release ‘The Ultimate Matrix Collection’ on Blu-ray. The set will include four Blu-ray discs and three DVDs. All three films and The Animatrix will use up the four Blu-ray discs.
The first DVD will include “The Roots of The Matrix” and “The Burly Man Chronicles”. The second DVD will include “The Zion Archive”. The third DVD will include a digital copy of the ‘The Matrix’, which you can then copy to devices such as the iPod.
No word yet on whether or not the set will be released in other countries but one can safely assume that Warner Bros. will get around to it sooner than later.
