Well, thats it then. Its going to be a quick, no effort release. I still think that one of the main reasons they are doing this is that they have a warehouse full of 2004 DVDs that they can't sell. So this is another attempt to move inventory, with a crummy OOT DVD release as a gimmick. Its too bad, because they could of done made this an amazing release, and not a non-anamorphic, LD rip. Some of the worst DVD releases ever have been quickie LD rips.
I still think they have to have a restored film of the original, restored right before they started the '97 SE. I don't buy that the Definitive/Faces masters are the best OOT they have.
As others said, Lucasfilm just said "screw those who want the OOT". I'm waiting for the XO project or some of the others, that will probably be better quality than this release. Its a pity, but I guess I should of expected it.
