The only thing I own, and to this point cherished, was copies of the original three recorded of the Sci-Fi channel in the late 90's which were (a) unaltered and (b) letterboxed. Aside from the commercial interuptions and inane trivia from presenter Billy Dee Williams, it did well enough. <BR/><BR/>As for other formats beyond DVD and such, I don't know if I want to wait. There's always the chance, money gouging bastards or not, that they don't release the unaltered films on a future new format. Plus, I've made my peace with DVD as the format for now and will stick with it until we're watching films on memory storage the size of a toothpick and cover art is a distant memory.<BR/><BR/>I don't spend nearly as much on DVD's as I used to. The only standing order I have is MST3K, which may never see their episodes on a new format due to rights issues with the films used. <BR/><BR/>Such is the world of Home Entertainment.Alonzo Mosley (FBI)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01518458463986396352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463713.post-1146837785391969152006-05-05T10:03:00.000-04:002006-05-05T10:03:00.000-04:00For once in my life upon the release of a Star War...For once in my life upon the release of a Star Wars film to whatever home video format, I'm going to have to refrain from picking this one up. I'm going to force myself to wait for the inevitable HD-DVD/BluRay disc. It's going to hurt, but Lucas has bled me of enough money and I've heard that "you'll never have another chance to own these!" excuse from Lucasfilm before...<BR/><BR/>Cool they're actually going through with it. Not cool that 2 years ago they insisted that they'd never, ever, ever release the originals so you may as well buy the Special Editions...Makihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215305055290753943noreply@blogger.com
