I own the Definitive LD's, but i'm still buying the set, not because of the revisions, but because I want to see the special features, the commentary and I want to use the DVD quality for editing.

I'm going to keep the majority of unaltered original scenes on the DVD (except for improvements in mattes, laser blast and saber effects), and edit useing the Difinitive Collection for scenes such as Greedo and Han..obviously there will be a drop in quality as soon as I insert the LD scenes into the edit, but some of these scenes are so short it might night be very noticable, some revisions can simply be overdubbed (Boba fett and new Vader dialogue), and some just cut, (Jabba scene in ANH).

So many are people are buying the set, I think it's a lost cause thinking boycotting it will make Lucas change his mind...The best bet is possibly a future definitive DVD set that will include the originals, or allow you to turn off or on the revisions...Don't get me wrong, I support the purists and fully support the originals being released.
