If you left the theater after watching Marvel / Disney / Joss Whedon's The Avengers ready to buy the Blu-ray disc as soon as it hit then get your credit cards ready. As Blu-ray.com notes, Amazon has listings for both a 2-disc Blu-ray edition and a 4-disc Blu-ray 3D version, but the one that's caught our eye is the just updated listing for Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled. A 10 disc set, it has every movie in this chapter of Marvel flicks -- Avengers, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk -- with 3D copies where applicable plus collectible packaging and a bonus "The Phase One Archives" disc. The only pic of the casing we have is the promo image shown above which hints at a replica of Nick Fury's Cosmic Cube suitcase from the movie, but more information is promised to be revealed July 15th. Until then you'll have to decide if $153 ($25~ per movie) is worth it for the set, or maybe take this time to finance it by selling off your existing copies on Craigslist. Your choice.

Amazon | Email this | Comments Love the Avengers? Then you’ll love these officially licensed Avengers USB flash drives, from InfoThink. Instead of portraying the actual Avengers, the USB drives are in the form of a symbolic part of your favorite Marvel hero.
You have the choice between the Hulk’s fist, Captain America’s shield, Iron Man’s helmet and Thor’s hammer. Personally, the Iron Man USB flash drive (which looks very familiar) looks the most appealing, but no one is stopping you from choosing the Hulk if you prefer a green fist sticking out of your computer. They also just announced a War Machine USB drive, which also looks pretty sweet.
Each of these USB flash drives has 8GB of storage, and they sell for $30 each. 4GB versions are also available for $20. They’re currently listed on Yahoo and eBay, but they’ll probably be available through more retailers soon.
