If you want to find out what food a frog prefers, you give it two different foods at different times. You don't just shove them down its throat at the same time.
If you didn't get my metaphor, to have a fair experiment, Lucas would have to package the OOT and the 2004SE seperately to see which sells better.
So, back to my starting point, catch number two is, even if this set sells better than any DVD ever sold, Lucas will just take it as people just wanted the 2004 edition again, only with new packaging and a second disk.
(That's why sending back SE discs is a good idea.)

Yes, but the SE discs were already released in 2004, and I think it's not a bad assumption that most of the people buying the new DVDs in Sept. are people who already bought the 2004 or 2005 sets, and nobody would do that unless they specifically wanted the OOT. George just can't allow the OOT DVDs to go out without HIS vision accompanying them. LOL
I'm buying them, BTW.
