1. It's quite clear from the OOT dvd announment that he was shortchanging the fans. I was not suprised (but disapointed) over the non-animorphic release, and now I am even more convinced that upcoming DVD release just cheapsake trick to make a quick buck.
2. There is a couple points that must brought up about the IGN "most-wanted-dvd article." Yes, LFL did see that article, but why was the OOT dvd release annoucened so quickly after that? A possible answer lies in the fact that last year IGN entertainment was aquired by News Corp, the same Rupert Murdoch empire that owns 20th Century Fox: The distributor of the Star Wars films outside of LFL. While some IGN's editors have farily vocal about releasing OOT on an advanced format, IGN's purchase by News Corp./Fox only comes to show that the indviduals at IGN who wrote the "most wanted dvd" article was only influential for the OOT dvd announcment alone. Everything else that was recomended in the article; proper restoration of the classic cuts to take advantage of the DVD format, is not happening.
