Hi guys, Although I know this thread is likely to muster up some strong feelings let's please keep it clean. The idea is simple; many have said Lucas is losing money/slash leaving money on the table. Many believe the only way to really vote is with our wallet and that as long as we keep complaining but buying the altered OT it means nothing. Personally I think he is truly convinced of his decision and even if he could sell a million copies he would still not release the OOT on Blu Ray. However I am ever hopeful that one day he will do it for the fans, not for the money. But since he is a business man surrounded by many businessmen maybe this will help: I caved in and bought the original trilogy on DVD but actually bought it a second time when it was re-released in order to get the OOT on DVD even though I knew it was non-anamorphic. I have also bought almost every VHS release and LaserDisc release of the Star Wars movies. However: I will not buy this release (money Lucasfilm will not get) yet would Pay $100 to $150 for a release that included the OOT (money Lucas Film is leaving on the table). I would even pay $40 to $60 for a separate OOT only release. The point of this thread is to show who is really in the same camp. Please let's keep it honest. the reason to do this is to accurately show Mr. Lucas and company (if they care to know) how many copies are being left on shelf by potential clients and how many copies would sell if they released this product. Please do not post that you agree and would also shell out $50 for the OOT if you won't really. I want this to almost be a waiting list. a list of people who, like me, if Lucasfilm decided to release the OOT could just call and ask for a credit card number on the spot and done. not: I might buy or I would really consider it. This is me saying: " somebody please take my money" Also please mention if you did buy or will still buy the current release (so no money lost) but would still buy a separate release like many of us did for the DVDs. Once again the idea is to give them real numbers not just complaining on a forum but actually ready to put our money where our keyboard is
