Idea: Preserving the 1997 Special Editions of the Star Wars Original Trilogy on DVD-R

Millhouse - an intruiging suggestion.

Should the new SW DVDs coming out on Sept 21 be as different as the Special Editions were to the Theatrical Versions we may well see someone making/offering them here on DVD.

For some reason, I don't see them being as sought after as the Theatrical Version were/are - though to have all 3 of the major differing versions would be cool.

If someone is do dual layered DVD versions of the OT which LaserDiscs will be most likely used (or best to use) - the 1989, 1993 or 1995 (or other ?) releases.

Will there most likely be 2 differing dual layered sets - one just with the films, and one with the commentatries, priduction notes, and other stuff?

Is it most likely to be an 'anamorphic widescreen' version?

The Force is with us.

I'm very glad to have come here and found such dedicated people who want to watch the version of the SW films as they were shown back in the cinemas (or as close as) when they were initially relased.

We even have the CHOICE of an anamorphic and non-anamorphic version of the OT DVD off the 1993 Laserdiscs - and now available to anyone - wherever they live at, what IMHO is a bargain price. The more of us fans that have copies out there the better and easier it is for other like-minded fans to get hold of the pre-1997 SE version.

The many DVD slipcovers and disc-art posted here too will no doubt have come in very handy for many of us who like that more 'professional' look for our DVDrs.

I too look forward to hopefully, in time, having a dual-layered high quality DVD version of the OT.

Thank You All.

It annoys me too - I'd love to be able to play X-Boxes' SW:Knights Of The Old Republic or Halo and the old PC classics like Dark Forces or Tie Fighter on my GC too...

I really despise 'system only' games - all games all formats - it should be made into some sort of universal law! lol

If I find an 'all games - all systems' petition I'll be sure to sign it and let you know in them ean time if you could just sign the petition above...

It's unlikely us GameCube owners will ever see Winning Eleven 8 or Pro Evolution Soccer 4 but the least we can do is remind Konami that we still exist and are worthy of consideration for any future GameCube football games...

I urge all fans of football games, no matter what system you play on, to sign the petition.

Many Thanks.

OT bootleg DVD reviews

I have the anamorphic DVD set - got it from digitalfreaknyc, who is good enough to ship worldwide - and took only 3 days from my order to reach me here in the UK from the USA - all for the cost of 4 blank disks and postage & packing.

Originally I was going to go with the TR47 set, though through reading the Bootleg DVDs thread in the General Section I was less than impressed with his actions in there. Obviously most of us will be glad that he has competition from others selling their sets too - otherwise we'd have been paying a substantial amount of more money. I would not have been happy to buy a set from this guy and find out the next day that he'd cut his prices by around a half (perhaps even more) as there is now a bit of competition....

Those people offering DVD sets for free (postage & packing) and other similar amounts of $/£ are to be applauded.

A BIG thanks to all those who've created and or posted DVD covers, disc art and inserts here too - they've come in most handy
