I have a theory (which is really just a front for a half-baked opinion), and it is this:

Perhaps Lucasfilm seeks to weaken the OOT movement by dividing it into two camps - the people that will fork out for the OOT as a 'Bonus' extra (a.k.a. "settle for less"), and the people that demand perfection and nothing less (a.k.a. "the fussy cry-babies"). I don't mean to insult everybody by providing you with overwrought nicknames, I'm just trying to represent both sides of the argument. The perception of either group as I see it, is that the other group is sabotaging the movement, either by not showing support for the idea of the OOT in general (by not purchasing the September DVD set), or by giving in (thus demonstrating that OOT-ers will take whatever we are given/ buy whatever LFL throws at us).

I don't mean to polarise us here at OT.com, I was merely drawing attention to the idea of LFL's possible 'divide and conquer' tactic. I know we've already discussed the possible responses that LFL could have to sales (whether good or poor) of this next DVD set, but what will it mean for us?

What do you guys think, and what do you think we can do about it? Moreover, is it at all possible that we will have a unified front on this? What is our position?
