I agree except that I believe that we already have a good release, what we don't have is a great release. This current release met almost all my expectations other than the anamorphic video issue. The audio, picture, menus and artwork are all first rate as far as I'm concerned. Consider the fact that this came from a 10+ year old magnetic tape and that it was pretty much a straight transfer and I think we're lucky it turned out as good as it did. Do I wish it had received the Indiana Jones style cleanup and audio remastering it deserved, sure I do, but I can accept that I now have the OOT on DVD. It is made all the better considering the fact that for the last 10 years GL has told everyone that the OOT would never be available again for sale in any format, yet he relented and gave the fans what they asked for, the OOT on DVD. Did we put conditions on our request, not that I recall. We simply asked for the OOT on the digital DVD format so that it could be preserved for future generations and that is what we got. I for one am pleased and thankful to have this version that GL has released for the fans and should he see fit to ever re-release the OOT in a superior remastered edition then he'll get my money then too. I hope everyone here would join me in extending to everyone at Lucasfilm involved in bringing the OOT to DVD a heartfelt thank you. Maybe if we show a little gratitude GL will reward us the the great release the OOT deserves, until then I'll happily watch and enjoy the good release that we now have and were told we never would have.
