Wow 90 bucks, not bad for all that material.  So tempting...I still haven't bought my first Bluray yet...maybe Star Wars?  Maybe this?  Not sure...

Normally I would probably be jumping all over something like this. I bought the Superman DVD set when it was first released and I watched the first two films once and never opened the box again. Ultimately wound up selling it. I enjoy Superman I just don't think none of these films hold up to repeated viewing and so I'm gonna pass. I would like to see the extras though.

I kind of agree, but not necessarily about these movies in particular...I mean we're talking about Superman for cripes sake.  I do agree though that the prices of these sets are out of line with their value in general, particularly when you consider the number of ways media is currently available for consumption.  I really agree with you about the extras though, and would consider the purchase for those alone.

It is freaking Superman!   :superman

As far as the pricing, just keep an eye on it.  This is a multi-disc Blu-Ray set.  For example, the Back to the Future trilogy set with I think 6 Blu-Ray discs was just on sale at Amazon for $25.  Prices will drop.  And I for one love these movies.
