Dark Knight fans, what would you do?

I'm a huge fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and have seen the movies several times, even having seen the Dark Knight Rises 3 times in theaters. So of course I want to buy the trilogy when it comes out on Blu-Ray but here's kind of a dilemma. The blu-ray trilogy box set with some special features comes out December 8, so you'd think I'll buy that right away (and I planned on it) but then I heard that Warner Bros. is releasing an 'Ultimate Collector's Edition' of the trilogy around Fall of 2013 which is supposed to contain more special features, extra footage from the trilogy, etc. (yes, I care about these special features). If you were me would you buy the trilogy release that comes out this December or would you wait until the fall of next year for the Ultimate Collector's Edition? I know no one would want to just buy both since it's just a ploy for the studio to get everyone to do that so they can cash in on such a successful franchise, but would it be stupid to just buy the first box set, then sell it when the Ultimate Collector's Edition comes out on and buy that? I really want to own the trilogy boxed set but I don't feel like waiting an extra 9 months nor do I want to buy both editions and waste money (although I'd very much prefer the Ultimate Collector's Edition between the two). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyway here's the article with all the details of the boxed set. Apparently the first release includes a booklet called "The Art and Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy."

I suppose I'm buying both... That is so,so low. My respect has dropped a little to everyone involved. Dang.

Wow that looks cool. Looks like I'm buying TDK collection!

I would wait for the better one.

Just so you know, there won't be any "extra" footage in this ultimate bundle. While I could be wrong, I'm pretty sure that's what I read. Rumors went out saying that there would be a deleted scene that explains Bane's origin. That scene was indeed shot, but didn't make the final cut. This is just Nolan being Nolan - he doesn't ever include bonus scenes. What you saw in theaters is what you'll end up watching on Blu-Ray. You'll only get behind-the-scenes type featurettes, which is good enough for me! Definitely getting the Blu-Ray.

If the world is still around next year, get the better one.

I might just get the first edition. All 3 movies in HD in one nice box for only $30, 2013 is a long way away, and we don't even know how much that edition will cost.

I'm not a huge fan so the once coming out this december should be fine for me.

Does anyone know if the extras are coming with the DVD box set? So the blu ray and DVD box set have the same thing, right?

If the Ultimate Collection has extra footage and is under 50 bucks, I'm in. If not, no way.

I'd probably just go with the one that's coming out first, since I usually don't care about collectors editions.
