"Alien 3" has been released in various home video formats and packages over the years. The first of these were on VHS and LaserDisc, and several subsequent VHS releases were sold both singly and as boxed sets throughout the 1990s. A VHS boxed set titled "The Alien Trilogy" containing "Alien 3" along with "Alien" and "Aliens" was released in facehugger-shaped carrying cases, and included some of the deleted scenes from the LaserDisc editions. When "Alien Resurrection" premiered in theaters in 1997, another boxed set of the first three films was released titled "The Alien Saga", which included a "Making of Alien Resurrection" tape. A few months later, this set was re-released with the "Alien Resurrection" film taking the place of the making-of video. In 1999, "Alien 3" was released on DVD, both singly and packaged with the other three "Alien" films as "The Alien Legacy" boxed set. This set was also released in a VHS version and would be the last VHS release of the film. In 2003, "Alien 3" would be included in the 9-disc "Alien Quadrilogy" DVD set which contained two versions of the film (see below). The first three films were also later packaged as the "Alien Triple Pack" DVD set (this release was identical to the 1999 "Alien Legacy" set but excluding "Alien Resurrection").
