Long time fan of this site and finally got a home theater. I can’t pull the trigger buying the official blurays (the Vader “noo” was the last straw). Would love to get a hold of these blurays but don’t have a myspleen account. Anyone willing to PM me an invite?
Indeed, as one69chev said, we support the official releases because our goal here is certainly not to divert funds from Disney’s blu-ray sales. They’ve been surprisingly non-combative with this scene, and that’s how we would like things to stay. For 99% of us, that means that the blu-rays just sit there on a shelf, unused (or are ripped to our PCs in order to edit into something proper). But we certainly do not support the notion of downloading a free version of the films instead of paying anything.
Just a question: Do you still need the official Blu-ray/Digital HD release if you want to download the Despecialized DVD-5 or is it okay even if you only have the official DVD?
Also, the 2011 edits are on DVD in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Philippines.
I am just asking this question as a little hole in the rules even if I have the official Blu-ray.
