I'm not that much bothered by Special Editions, Director's Cuts and what have you. I even prefer 2-disc editions with the extra's because I love movies and they tell you something about how it was made. If a movie is going to be released as a movie-only as well as an enhanced, extended or special edition, than I would like to know this up front.
Just like they did with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They first released the theatrical version, but at the same time notify you of the upcoming Extended Edition with added material. Then it's up to you if you want to wait for the Extended Edition, buy the theatrical edition or both. Freedom of choice.
The fans of the OOT still don't know what to make of the september 2006 release of the OOT. N'or do they know if 2007 will see yet another release of the OOT on DVD (and in the way they deserve, like anamorphic widescreen). I even doubt if LFL will inform its fan base what to expect for a possible 2007 release before or during the period when the september 2006 release will be available for sale. Not much of a choice there, more of a gamble.
