I guess were still waiting for that final vision that Lucas couldn't achieve back in 1980

yup, you'll be waiting for another DVD release just like everyone else.
Then you'll bitch about it.

I suggest to clean your monitors then. Or getting some glasses. Tsss, can´t see the difference between 720x480 and 1920x1080 resolution.... (6 times the resolution!!!)

It´s the YUV quantization used during compression. However, in 1920x1080, it´s not so bad as in 720x480

Nobody said the negatives were destroyed. They were permanently altered while making the SE, which means only the SE negative still exists.

CinemaxHD according to our local comcast ads. Will all 6 be in true HD resolution, or only 720x480 upconverted?

I must say i agree that you can definatly see a difference. But if your telling me that this difference is worth a) buying new equipment to watch stuff in HD b) repurchasing all your DVDs in HD or c) just paying the prices for the equipment and DVDs alone, your out of your mind.
I don't think the difference is all that great. Then again i do think it all depends on what you base watching movies on. If your watching a movie simply for the picture then i think you need to re-evaluate your priorities. Me personally, i watch for content. So you will never see me buying "XXX" on Blu Ray. However i will end up spluging on a "Schindler's List" laserdisc.
What i think is impressive on these new HD formats is the audio. But thats a whole other story..

It was worth it when you upgraded to DVD from Laserdisc or VHS.....and as for "content" the picture quality is a HUGE part of the content...you aren't listening to the radio, you watching a movie, think about it.

I've been specifically not buying DVDs I wanted in anticipation for the HD formats (specifically Blu-ray). otherwise, the equipment upgrade is worth the increase in visual data.

Although HD DVD may have a difference that some may be able to see, many can't.
And once again i say, if DVD picture quality to you is not good enough... then so be it, but your clearly not watching the movie for its content.
Plus im not willing to give into another product after we know DVD is fine as it is.
The more people keep adobting to new technologies, the more these big corporations will keep forcing stuff down our throats.

Movies are there to be watched and I want them in the best quality possible, ESPECIALLY those movies which I like very much. I cherish the times when home cinema stops looking like video and starts looking like real film. HDTV is a big step towards this goal.

As long as the HD-DVD/BluRay format war is going on, i would never suggest someone to invest into HD too much. But the time is definately running out for our decades old television systems. Prices will fall soon, they always did.
I don't think the difference is all that great.
Well, you are looking at still images. In motion, it´s surely going to kick much more ass. Besides, considering that this is 30 year old material, it´s very impressive. Remember how the first DVD´s looked and how much the quality improved over the years. Same is going to happen with HDTV.

How many?

My friend.
Of course I am watching my favourite movies on DVD,a nd I really enjoy them. But as soon as there is a significant improvement in home theater technology, which HD is, of course, and this technology is becoming affordable, I will stop buying DVD´s, since I always want my favourite movies in the best quality possible. Is this so abnormal? FILM is a VISUAL medium. And 720x480 really looks poor compared to 1920x1080 or, even better, REAL 35mm FILM! Of course I am watching movies for their content. And this also includes the visual aspect.
Plus im not willing to give into another product after we know DVD is fine as it is.
This is the reason why I wouldnt buy into any HD format right now. The format war, and the typical technical problems 1st and 2nd generation equipment has.
The more people keep adobting to new technologies, the more these big corporations will keep forcing stuff down our throats.

No one is forcing you. You can boycott it. Meanwhile, the world goes on, and when there is a demand for significant better picture quality, there is a market. I, for sure, am going to get this new technology as soon as players are going below the $250 mark.
Standard television is very old now. The time has come to abadon it.

If the star wars trilogy was already available on blu ray in 1080p I would definetely buy a player.
It is also about time we get the entire star wars saga in HD.
As for the 2004 HD transfer done by lowry it's about time it's being offered in it's original picture quality as it was downscaled to fit a dual layer dvd and compressed to death.
I wish I had cinemax HD this is sure going to be sweet for those who are subscribers.
