I got them because I'm positive this is the last release on DVD. Why? Because the 30th anniversary set is next year. George released these so the unaltured trilogy fans could get what they want (sort of) and the 30th anniv. set can be for the fan boys that are gay for Lucas. Also, not putting the unaltured version in the set would be the perfect way to say "Fuck you" to all us fans.
But I mainly got them because I don't really need anamorphic, I just need decent video quality that makes me feel I'm in a theater. These versions do just that. I've never seen Star Wars in a theater, and only saw the OOT for the first time last May, but I fell in love with them and I think these releases feel like a theatrical experiance, even though I've never seen it on the big screen.
So I'd reccomend them. The cover and disc art is great too.
AND SEND THE '04 DISCS BACK TO LUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
