I would buy an X0 player but it certainly wouldn't be used for any Star Wars preservations. Nah, I'd rather transfer all of those LD extras which aren't on DVD if I could. Believe me I would if I had the means to especially if I could afford it.
There are other films besides Star Wars which need to be preserved. I'd be making my own "X0 Utilised Projects" if I already had the capability and equipment.
These wouldn't be "Fan Edits" either.

I can certainly dig a lot of what you're saying and I'll agree that there is a heck of a lot of stuff that has only been released on LD or VHS which also deserves a decent preservation effort. BTW, if by any chance you do ever buy an X0 player, then please feel free to PM me and I'll send you my ultra-rare LD for preservation ;)

For myself though, Star Wars was such an important part of my childhood experience that it seems such a travesty that it hasn't had the proper DVD release that it deserves. I can certainly appreciate the efforts that the X0 team have gone too and I for one am truly amazed by their tenacity and level of expertise and I applaud their efforts. I would also recommend that you read both the old and the new X0 threads thoroughly because if nothing else, it's all a bloody good read.

As for the 'fan edits', yeah I'll agree that's not my cup of tea either. Having said that, I'm not gonna bag anyone else for getting up off their bum and spending their own time on something that they obviously enjoy doing. Good on 'em and good luck to 'em.
