Unfortunately, this is going to be the last release of the OOT ever. Hopefully these werent made on cheap DVr's and hopefully they won't disintegrate in a few months


That is the sad thing, because I am convinced this won't cause Lucas never sticks to his words. That is the problem with all SW releases on DVD these days, it is a guessing game, and that is unfair to the consumer, because it forces you to possibly buy something cause it 'may never be released again', but then in the same breath says, "Due to popular demand......"

I don't mind when studios re-release DVD's with more bonus material (deleted scenes, documentaries, extra trailers), that is something that a fan can buy if they want more of something they love. But what Lucas is doing is putting out something that is not high quality so if he does put out something in Anamorphic next time, you have to buy it cause it is better quality.

I have lost total respect for the man.

BINGO! You summed up my feelings exactly, CO. The man does nothing but lie and I am getting sick and tired of being forced into playing into it all. You can take your "Limited edition never ever ever going to be seen again!" gimmick and shove it up your a**, Georgie! We heard it before and you went back on your word every single time (with the exception of the "Faces" VHS tapes; little did we know that WAS the last time we would see our beloved OOT [before 09/12/06...11 years later!!!]).

But on the same token, if you would be releasing a QUALITY product on 09/12, I would gladly march into the store with my money in hand and you wouldn't hear a peep out of me. Yes, I would still be a little ticked that you decided to treat the OOT with little respect by making it the bonus disc and still focusing on the SE, but I could easily live with that.

I can respect the opinions of those that said "just hang in there" but for how long? Another 11 years from now when Lucas needs to milk the SW cash cow one last time? No thanks...

I must admit that I am so torn right now! A part of me says that it will come out one day, a part doesn't. A part says there will be something great released in '07 and this is just to test the waters (and clean out the SE reserves; I agree with those that said in other threads that they probably have a lot of left overs), a part of me says we will get these same crappy OOT transfers (if at all) in any boxed set George would put out...
