And I am very satisfied with the initial theatrical and EE releases. As far as I am concerned, Mr. Jackson can release his trilogy anew every week for the next year; he's provided me with a quality product, and that's what matters.
The Star Wars Trilogy, on the other hand, was junk from day one. Bad color, bad sound, bad content. And none of the releases to date have fixed any of that. If all you want is a good presentation of the movie, well, you're not getting it. Not in the Vaderface boxset, not in the poster art boxset, and not in the photoshop edition.
That's the difference. It's not about how many times something is released. It's about consistent quality vs. consistent ... not quality.

Ridiculous. The OT DVD set is a fine set. It looks and sound great. It sucks in your opinion because it's not the OOT. The bonus disk has a 2 hour documentary on it with other documentaries on it as well.
