After taping the films on TV numerous times a a kid, buying the 95 VHS box set, the 95 WS VHS box set, 97 Fullscreen VHS Box set, 97 VHS Widescreen Box Set twice, 97 SE Laserdisc, 2004 DVD Box Set, and GOUT I think I have enough official releases to last me a lifetime.

After borrowing the GOUT from a friend four years ago and realizing that it was the 93 master I gave up on Lucasfilm. Now we have been teased with this blu release and smited yet again. This time they've added the deleted scenes that we were never ever going to see so that our defenses will crumble again.

No dice.

When fans can make better versions than the official companies there is a serious problem.

I don't have blu capability either, so it won't really matter for me in the long run. It will sting though. Already I have had to talk to many who are excited about this new release and explain to them that it's the 04's again. We're not crazy fanboys anymore. Regular people are actually getting pissed about this now.

Who needs this Blu when we're on ot.com? We're like the unofficial OOT restoration crew anyway. If anyone so much as mentions star wars we go off on a tangent about four eyed stormtroopers and color timing and sound mixes. If Lucasfilm actually wanted to make the final definitive collection all they'd ever have to do is just ask around here.

So no straight transfer of either the 97SE or GOUT master. The least they could have done (which still would have been infuriating, but maybe better than completely ignoring) was to release the GOUT master in HD and anamorphic. That would have taken what, all of 5 minutes? WB released a limited edition cleaned up version of Blade Runner a year before the box set's release. It's not like it hasn't been done before.
