After being suckered into buying the 2004 version (publications from Lucasfilm clearly stated that this would be the only version that would ever see a DVD release) I'll have to buy the same 2004 Special Edition again just to obtain the OOT. I'd rather be able to buy the OOT seperately. No such luck.
The location of the subtitles. Subtitles in local language are added for foreign language releases. Furthermore, for scenes where the characters speak in an alien tongue (like Han talking to Greedo in Ep. 4) English subtitles are displayed. Since the master is a LaserDisc I think those English subtitles, instead of being a sub-picture streams, they will be part of the videostream content (and thus cannot be hidden). If the subtitles are placed too low in the frame (in the bottom half of the lower black bar), zooming in on the picture with my 16 : 9 TV causes the subtitles to fall out of frame. I hope those responsible for mastering the DVD take this into account and place the subtitles in such a position, that they are still visible when zoomed in.
On the other hand, because I already own two VHS versions (OOT and 1997 SE), a VideoCD version of the 1997 SE and the 2004 SE on DVD, I might as well rent the newly released Star Wars september version and make 1:1 copies of the extra's on DVD+R DL ...
