My THX o-OT got lost/stolen when my mom moved while i was in my senior year in college.... and i WILL NOT watch the SE or new DVD's, well maybe watch but never pay for...

i need your help

There´s an awful lot of hassle involved with watching those laserdisc, a LOT of disc/side swapping, the sheer size of the things, laser rot and plus those old laserdiscplayers are pretty dodgy I hear and support for them is probably almost non-extistent today. From what I´ve seen and read the best transfer out there, the TR47 versions are pretty much identical to the Definitive Edition CAV laserdiscs so your best bet IMO would be to get that version (or wait a few weeks/months and see how the MeBeJedi transfers turn out). But then again if you don´t mind all the laserdisc hassle then going for the LD is ofcourse a viable option, at least then you´ll have the OT in it´s absolute best form currently available. I´ve got my set of the TR47 versions and I´m massively pleased with them.

peace,
