There's no way to market yet another version of the SE (without the OOT) that will get people to flock to the stores.

I think people on OT.com hugely misjudge the OOT's relevance to an average fan. There has been a very few of us who refused to buy Blu-Ray on the principle of having unwanted changes.

If they release another set with something "extra", I think fans will buy it just as they did 2004 and 2011 release.

I actually disagree with that. A lot of people (whether they care or not) are well aware of the Han Shot First thing; the SE is easily the most controversial alternate version of a film, except for maybe the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life. The biggest complaint about the blu rays was the fact that it did not include the original versions, and that was mentioned in articles from a lot of news sources in their articles discussing the blu rays. Look at how much hype these rumors got over the summer about the OUT too.

To add to this. I've been told directly and have overheard others say that they either horde their VHS copies, are trying to find VHS copies or are trying to transfer their VHS copies to DVD. None of these people were big fans like us either.

To further add to this, the video rental place across the street from where I live has multiple copies of each OT VHS as well as a few 2006 DVDs, and I didn't see the blu-ray version at all.
