Originally posted by: 88keyzor years this forum has been built upon the basis of preserving, and distributing (as much as its swept under the rug), the OOT and now that GL has given us the best available release of the OOT out there are we thanking him? No. We are slapping him in the face and accusing him of hate mongering his own product.
1. Lucas is giving us a non-anamorphic transfer in 2006. A cutting edge company giving a non-anamorphic DVD...come on!!!
2. The OUT is merely a "bonus disc" (not as important to me but still worth mentioning).
3. He bundles them with the SEs.
4. They are all sold seperately, making them more costly (I won't be too picky with this fact b/c one could be looking for that, though)
5. He is making SE fans that wanted the OUT buy the SE AGAIN! All the while, knowing he is going to put out an '07 set that will contain different SEs with more changes (or at the very least, the same SEs...again). Also, LFL spins (yet again) the "Limited" and "First and Only" cath phrases, basically forcing fans to buy this release because, "What if it isn't released again?!?"
There is nothing to thank that man for IMO, unless you enjoy being ripped off. The way I see it, there is no other way to look at this other than a total screw job (yet again). Say what you will about LOTR, etc., that have done similar things over the years, but at least you get A) a quality product right out of the gate and B) EACH release is quality and special in its won right!
