I guess I will have to save up money for the X0 laserdisc player. Not likely to happen though :p

A couple questions first. Do the Japanese Special Collection laserdiscs and the japanese episode 1 laserdisc set have english subtitles? Do some versions of the Special Widescreen Edition laserdiscs have better quality than the JSC laserdiscs?

1. Yes, they all do, but the subs are burned-in to the black letterbox area, so they're not in the active picture at all.

2. No, but the Technidisc pressing of SWE ANH uses a different master.
