Sansweet himself admitted the initial purpose was to re-sell the SE films individually. That is why the OOT is bonus material--its the bonus on the SE films to get you to buy it. The marketing focusing ONLY on the OOT release is obviously because that is the sets selling point. A proper release of the OOT will come out eventually but if they say this is the last time it will be available then we buy it now instead of waiting.

I really think that we know much more about this than Sansweet does. He's proably just parroting what the higher-ups at LFL told him to. If there will be a quality release, then when? There is something more than meats the eye going on here. This just doesn't add up. What 2005 release? Why did it fail?
