      The non-special effects ruined versions in anamorphic 1080p glory?

      Or is that dreaming too big?

        Probably more like Lucas has digitally imposed Jar Jar Binks into all 3 movies of the original trilogy and is now calling it his new director's cut. And I'm only half joking, I wouldn't put it past that overgrown Ewok.

            As for the Star Wars stuff, the original countdown site has yet to finish completion, but other sites got press releases. Box art and disc contents, but no mention of which version of the original trilogy is included.



            This morning, despite severe bandwidth problems, Lucasfilm revealed the details of the complete Star Wars saga Blu-Ray box set.

              Trying to get like 5 bucks or whatever for them isn't worth my time, imo. I'd rather just give them away and not have to worry about it (and also, it tends to make the recipient pretty happy if it's a movie they like).
              See if you have an EntertainMart nearby. If you have movies you can't give away they will give you $2-$5 for even old movies that NO ONE wants.

                  Some really solid deals at Best Buy today on Blu-Rays. They're older, but still. Good deal if you need the upgrade or something.

                  I picked up Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3, and Major League all for 8 bucks a piece. There were a bunch others in the sale. Appaloosa, Smokin Aces, Caddyshack, Blazing Saddles are some of the ones I remember.

                      I'm assuming the separate trilogies won't have all those special features.

                              PSA: Blockbuster is running a 5 for $20 used blu ray sale. I picked up 20 at $4 each... couldn't help myself. Note: You get the disc and cover art...no case (at least at my BB)

                              Notables:
                              Scott Pilgrim vs the World
