With Panavision70 as his handle/username, I imagine he was just being sarcastic about that AR banter... but then again, hard to be sure either way since he doesn't have a ton of posting history here, heh...

Probably my fault since I forgot to actually go (unlike Dune), LOL... but it did seem very last minute that they sprung the rerelease on people though...
