We don't expect high-definition versions yet, as those formats are just too new.

Especially when considering that it gives yet another opportunity for Lucas to rape your wallet a few more years down the line.

Wasn't Lucasfilm supposed to be on the cutting edge of technology? How far the mighty have fallen ...

For me that’s even more reason to avoid getting the 2007 DVDs even if they include the OOT. I’m hopeful that eventually all six films will be released in HD, but at this point with no clear winner in the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray battle that would be a stupid move anyway.

Hey wait a minute; that gives me an idea of how George can fuck fan-boys in the ass even harder. It involves 4 steps in the next 18 months:

Step 1: Release the old DVDs in September with a sub-par copy of the OOT so that die-hard OT fans like me will clear inventory of the shitty 2004 DVDs.

Step 2: Release the 30th Anniversary 12 disc super-pimp set, perhaps without the OOT even as a special feature and get cash from the CG gusher fans. More changes are set for this collection as was mentioned earlier.

Step 3: Release a Special Edition HD-DVD set with new changes that differ from those on the 2007 SD-DVD set.

Step 4: Release a Special Edition Blu-Ray set with new changes that differ from those on the 2007 SD-DVD set AND the aforementioned HD-DVD set.

In this way George can screw over big time fan-boys at least 4 times in a year and a half.
