It definitely was ROTS on HBO which is on almost everyday by the way! I admit to starting more PT bashing threads than most around here, but I am only mad at the PT cause it changed the OT movies we have to watch now. And because of the PT, we have to get shit quality for the OT DVD's. I make up these threads to prove that this audience is overrated in their love for the movies, and way overestimated in the size. They are niche fanbase, that I feel alot of them won't care about the PT 20 years from now. Sure there are diehards, but that is the case with any movie.

I have nothing against the PT if it didn't change the OT, and I have never been one of those fans who are mad at Lucas cause he didn't do this in the PT, or that in the PT, the PT is what it is, and I say take it or leave it. But if it weren't the PT, Lucas would have never been so dead set on the OT change as the norm, cause he wouldn't be trying the tie the sagas together. Now it is for every release, "what can I screw up more on the OT movies that will now jive with the PT." Example # 1: Hayden in ROTJ, I hate that change with a passion, and it forces me to watch crappy bootlegs of my favorite movies, that constantly freeze up.

I will be buying the Sept 12th Non-Anamorphic Release, and cause of that it just reminds that Lucas has totally shifted to the PT audience and giving them everything we want. And that is a slap in the face to all these fans who bought everything from 1977-1997. Unfortunately we are married as a fanbase now, but I am going to expose that they are not as diehard as Lucas thinks.
