Here I was at Wondercon having to leave the panel because I didn't want to ask a question I knew the answer too.
While I've never had a need to have a DVD version since I rarely rebuy anything, I did say I'd buy these just to show George that the OOT should be preserved. Though I know for certain that the 2004 discs packaged with them will most likely be going into the trash. The only SE version I have is Darth Editious', and it will stay that way.
Fantastic news. Hopefully it carries over to future formats.
