I pre-ordered it and the special edition of Van Helsing together, so I won't get my copy until VH is released in October. Grr! I guess I know for next time!

Eh... *shrugs*

My friend is a real Star Wars nut, so I'll see if I can just borrow from her when she gets them. Otherwise, I don't think I'll watch them enough to make the purchase worth it.

Oh yeah, and then there's that whole issue about these not being the original films...

Of course I will. And I've got school off for the week too.

what a dumb question! it's very obvious!

I think the Star Wars movies are okay, and I've seen them all many times, but ... I like Star Trek a lot more. Shrugs. I'm just not into Star Wars, and I don't want to devote the financial resources to it.

Yay, another Trekkie!!

As for me, I'll probably not get it. My P&S 1997 VHS's will do for now, and I'll just wait for Lucas to decide "Hey, I should be nice and release the originals as they were seen in 1977, 1980, and 1984. It'll make those damn purists happy. And Han can shoot first too!" Of course, I can't wait that long seeing as I plan to die in about 85 years or so.

Wouldn't it make more money for them if they released both versions? Cause you've got the newer viewers who probably would prefer the newest version, and you've got the collectors, who'd get probably two copies of both versions, and you've got the purists who'd get just the originals and if they want to have a sacrificial bonfire, the new one. And then, there are those who'll buy multiple copies and sell them on e-bay or make bootlegs and sell them on e-bay or put them in a vault to be opened 50 years later and sold on e-bay.

Escapay

A dream becomes real today. I got my Star Wars Trilogy DVD EARLY!!!!!!!!!

Liking a movie a lot is a geeky thing?

We must ALL be big ass geeks

For people who complain about the retail price of the set, check this out

Store wars greet Star Wars DVDs

Retail analysts told BBC News Online that the wholesale price of the box set was £30.16 in the UK, and $50.49 in the US.

So it would appear many sites are actually selling the set to us at a loss (can be got for £26.99 in the UK and $41.88 in America. They're literally paying you to take a set off their hands!

My dad or brother might buy it. Many stores are selling the triology for only $40 - $45. That's a real bargin.

Woohoo! Free DVDs!

Wait, that's not right either...

When I went to pick it up yesterday, prices varied from $67 AUS ($US47) to a whopping $89.95 ($63.50US!!!). I'd say the latter was to make a profit, as they weren't primarily a retail place (it was a rental store).

I got it for the former.

i payed $39.99 for my star wars set

I paid $37.97 at Wal-Mart. I can't imagine they would sell it for below cost though.
