I voted undecided. I want the DVD's for these reasons: 1) Because I want a decent-looking version (it won't be anamorphic but its better than a VHS or bootleg) and 2) because I want a legal version so I can never get hammered for having a bootleg and 3) because a DVD will last forever. Unless you just leave it lying on a table, it won't wear out like a VHS. Yes I have bootlegs, adn they're on DVD's, but they weren't burned onto quality DVD's that look like they could last and 4) they might be the last ever release.

Ah, but I voted undecided, right? Well, I also have reasons for NOT buying them. 1) Non-Anamorphic. 'Nough-Said. 2) It also contains the 2004 versions. No thank you, I already have these. 3) Money. I can't keep shelling out cash! 50 for the 2004 set (though, granted, this was a birthday present) and another 30 for bootlegs. That's 70 so far. If I shop smart, and I have been looking around, it'll be another 40 for this set. 110 just to reach a definitive DVD. 4) It would almost sicken me to have a set where the OOT is on disc two as a bonus feature. I can imagine the menu now....

Of course, I have come up with a solution to this so that it at least isn't on disc 2. I take out the OOT disc, make my own cover art on the computer, and give it its own case, leaving the 2004 version to rot, or to lie on my desk waiting to be sold on Ebay.

For all these reasons, I am undecided, though I am leaning toward purchasing them.
