If ever a film series was meant to be seen in HD DVD, that series is now here. The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, were produced with future technology execution in mind.

The Ultimate Matrix Collection will contain all three HD DVD versions of The Matrix series with more than 35 hours of bonus material in 5 double sided discs. The second offering, The Complete Matrix Trilogy, contains HD DVD versions of the three Matrix films in a 3-disc set, perfect for new and current Matrix fans who just want to see all three Matrix films in hi-definition.

Both The Ultimate Matrix Collection and The Complete Matrix Trilogy come with the In-Movie Experience (IME), an interactive feature that allows viewers to enjoy new ways of accessing interviews and other material while the movie is running. For these titles, the IME will let viewers experience via picture in picture the evolution of all The Matrix’s ground breaking elements through the recollections of the cast and creative team.

The Ultimate Matrix Collection will be available for $119.99 and The Complete Matrix Trilogy available for $99.99 . Order due date for all is April 17 and they then go on sale on May 22. Blu-ray Disc versions of both collections will be released later this year.
