It suggests to me that he will be using sales of the new sets to determine popularity of the OOT vs. the SSE, despite packaging them together. This implies that if the set is very successful, LFL will continue to release the OT in future editions/formats, which I think we all hope for.

I do agree, and that is why we have to step up and all buy this set no matter how crummy it is. Lucas = $$$$$$$, and if this set makes a boatload of money, there is no way Lucas won't release this for the HD-DVD sometime in the future. So even though I still feel he is out of touch and arrogant, he seems like he is going to let the market do the talking.
