The money spent will be a big deal because there are other things I could spend that money on. Still I do want a copy of the OOT and this sub-par version is the best legal version available.

From my point of view it’s a basic economic principle only to spend your money on things you want. At this point, I'd rather never see the films again than ever purchase this release. That's the value that I believe everyone else have as well, but if other people feel differently I'm not going to criticize them. George Lucas has effectively destroyed Star Wars for me and that's all.
(Thankfully I still have viewable VHS copies too.)

That’s pretty much the only difference I can see in our prospective positions. My VHS copies have worn out (all three sets) and I do want to see the OOT again. George is going to get a little of my cash for the OOT one way or another; I can replace my VHS copies with a new set, I can buy the LDs or I can buy these DVDs in September. The only difference for me is the effort I make to get replacements. Getting the DVDs is the easiest, most convenient and most economical way to replace what I have. ANY of these options is superior to what I have right now.
