I originally found this site after reading about it on another Star Wars board. I was incensed that Lucas had decided to ruin my favorite movies with unnecessary CGI updates and footage best left on the cutting room floor, and would not be offering a choice on future releases.
I then decided to offer people an alternative to buying questionable, overpriced sets from feebay and the rest is history. I know some members here hate me for doing this, but I don't feel I've committed some heinous act that certain members make it out to be.
On another note, Bill Hunt seems like one of those people who initially was regarded as someone to look to for honest DVD news, but has slowly turned into being a greedy shill for the studios. You won't find any negative comments on any reviewed release on his site, no matter how badly the movie/transfer/version sucks. I guess you can't bite the hand that feeds you. Jay, have you found this to be the case? I do visit his site from time to time, but mostly just to find out about upcoming releases and their technical specifications.
