dark_jedi,

Have you seen Harmy's 720p versions? How would you say your BluRays stack up with his version, video-wise?

I'm sure Harmy and DJ are best equipped to answer this, but isn't this comparison like between apples and oranges? I mean the source of the two are completely/totally different. One tries to modernise an old source, while the other works from the other direction.. no?

I don't know if it's really apples-to-oranges; I get what you're saying, but they're both 720p versions of the Original Trilogy, regardless of how they got there. Sure, Harmy left some changes in, so its not unaltered and you can't compare frame by frame. I'm wondering how DJ (or anyone that has seen them) feels his Blu Ray versions stack up. I was always under the impression that it doesn't really help going from 480p to 720p, as no detail is/can be gained by simply upconverting.. Maybe I'm wrong. Just wondering :)

LOL, yes it is, as I have said several times, this Set is not for everyone, if you already have preconceived notions of the quality then then just don't grab it when it is available, and this question has already been answered by Harmy and myself.

sorry for sounding a little bitter but this question bothers me, if you have read about Harmy's projects and my posts here, you would have already known the answer to this question.
