Official announcement:
http://starwars.com/news/star-wars-blu-ray-dvd-combo-packs-coming-october-8.html
Time to cash in on the 'SD-DVD only' market out there, I still am more hopeful that the OUT will come out in a few years.....perhaps the OT was being prepared for the now cancelled 3D transfer....would they have announced that the OUT was being scanned at a high resolution, not likely.
Now that George has retired and with the current attitude shown towards his tinkering of the OT, the cancelling of The Clone Wars, the franchise moving into overdrive with a more OT style 'Rebels' cartoon, perhaps the live-action series being picked up by Disney, spin-off films (with hopefully OT characters) & the new ST.....its clear to see that Disney has jettisoned the lame and knows the strength in its purchase......and what started it all?....Star Wars
As it currently sits, it is in poor quality with embarrassing SE additions that anyone with a bit of sense cannot bear to watch, prefering to watch Adywan's or Harmy's versions......Disney will convince Fox to re-release the Classic versions (how much control George still has in that decision no-one knows)

I think Disney is wise enough to realize getting the theatrical versions of the OT out there is not only essentially printing money, but also buying goodwill from fans. Short of Lucas putting something in the contract preventing it, I think it's happening.
