And LD will always kick DVD's ass when it comes to fast-forward and rewind.
What's with the LD ff/rewind? I never had a laserdisc player, so I'm unaware. I would've been all over LD, too, if it wasn't a)pretty expensive, or b)mercilessly made obsolete before I had a chance. One of my local hometown Blockbusters started carrying laserdiscs soon before DVD's hit, and I was all excited at the prospect of seeing bonus features, and wanted to rent a player, or something. I think it might've literally been only a few weeks, or a couple months, and the LD's were gone. Is LD a more satisfying movie-watching experience than DVD?
Meanwhile, when DVD's came out, all there was to choose from was: The Mask (the first DVD I ever saw with bonus material), The Wizard of Oz, and Goodfellas.
And I HATE the forced DVD previews and screens you can't fast-forward, or skip over. I always think, "Damn, I this never happened with VHS." You have more consumer freedom on a dead tape format than the high-tech digital one. And the ongoing music on menu screens if you go to the kitchen for a snack and it plays repeatedly, endlessly-- that gets irksome, too. Minor quibbles, but still.
I'm surprised that there wouldn't be at least a limited VHS Sith release. Just put out less copies, or make it available online, or something. Is it also not going to be released on PAL tape? What about Canada?
