I'm pretty sure it will, like i said its a question of when--most people understandably dont want to wait that long, especially if its not for another six or seven years.

But really, this release is hardly an improvement over what we already have. The XO project should rival it. I'm not really willing to plunk down 40 bucks for something that gives me a movie i already have on disk one and a movie i already have in nearly equal quality on disk two. I just dont see any point to the release and obviously the purchase of this release.

The only considerations are what effect it will have on Lucasfilms view of the OOT. Considering that its a case of "damned if we do, damned if we dont" I'm going to just do what I should and not purchase them. In the meantime, an agressive letter-writting campaign should clearly dispell the notion that the release was unwanted to Lucasfilm--maybe it will force them to actually give us a proper, newly transfered master a lot sooner if they realise they cant just give us pieces of shit. Honestly--what motivation is there for Lucasfilm to go all out and dig up the old prints of Star Wars if we lap up these table scraps like the starving dogs we are?
