The above link contains this excerpt, which I haven't seen before in other online reports:

"On Dec. 31, the original movies will be returned to the Lucasfilm Archives."

Is it just me, but why in the world would a company take the effort to mention this, unless their intent was ONLY purely aimed at using scare tactics to persuade people to "buy, buy, buy".

As an employee of a global billion dollar company, I can say I've seen some pretty evil marketting campaigns by Sales staff, but Lucasfilm is taking first prize with this one.
