The X-Men 1.5 (which is the stupid special edition title for DVD of "X-Men") and the DVD for X2 are must-owns for any DVD collector as they're both perfect examples of the special edition done right.  They're both packed with special features but all the special features are actually interesting.  The films aside ("X-Men" is good, "X2" is excellent), they're favorites in my collection. 

If you've never owned them before or just wanted to see them in hi-def (and "X2" will probably hold up; I'm not so sure if the CG work in "X-Men" will hold up) they'll be available on Blu-ray on April 21st.  Oh, and so will "X-Men: The Last Stand" but I don't care for that movie.  It's not a horrible movie, but it has the disadvantage of coming after "X2" and it's a really poor effort.  Wasting The Dark Phoenix storyline is just unforgivable in my book.  Okay, tangent over.  Check out the full list of features below.  We'll be sure to bring you the artwork once we have it.

Oh, and the set has a digital copy of each film.  As digital copies become more and more prevalent, I need to get myself an external hard-drive.  And a higher-capacity iPod.  Good thing the economy isn't horrible.
