I thought you'd decided to get them. What changed your mind?
Although, I guess I should also say "1. No, 2. No" since I pre-ordered them June 9, 2006.

Well I admitted to going back and forth over the last few weeks in another thread but the last option as of a week or so ago I was on was "No". As of today, I'm still with that option. My main reasons are:

1. With each ad I see and how careful the wording is, I now firmly believe this is one big trick and we will be seeing the OUT again very, very soon. I've given Lucas A LOT of $ over the years and I am not interested in getting screwed over by him yet again....paying almost $45 (best price I found so far) for a shoddy product seems silly. I have a 16X9 TV and I paid a lot of $ for it for a reason, and I expect the products I purchase to take full advantage of what I have.
2. I do not want the SEs AT ALL so that makes this purchase even harder to swallow for me. In a sense, I will be paying $45 for inferior DVDs...hardly seems worth it.

I'm going to rent them and see what I think, especially when I have the screen zoomed in (which is YET ANOTHER problem for me b/c my TV won't allow for component viewing and Zoom at the same time, so I must watch in AV mode to be able to zoom *sigh*). If I really like them I will buy, but I am not holding my breath. I'm sure it will be farily easy for me to get my hands on anamorphic "Custom DVDs" in the coming months, so I will probably just wait for those.
