It makes a little bit of sense, so I'll give Raul the benefit of the doubt for now. Given the fact that the OOT came out this year and next year's the 30 anniversary, I see potential for him to be telling the truth.

EXACTLY!
Folks,. this product has to be pretty darn special, and what is going to make people buy it? You simply cannot put all 6 movies in one set with a few minor changes and a few extras, and then expect even the most hardcore fans to buy the same movies 2, 3 or maybe even 4 times over! It won't happen. But a nice, restored OUT PLUS all of the rest of the stuff sure will! It all comes down to simple economics: LFL tried to put the SEs out two years in a row and sales weren't that great. This is the THIRD year in a row they are out and the only way they could move them was with a sub-par bonus disk. They completely flooded the market now, and I am sure this was not done by accident; they know they won't be able to do the same thing again and they willl need to come with something much better...something ALL fans cannot resist buying...
