i haven't kept myself up to date. is this release with the classic or is it the special edition version of the classic?
as for me, i'm not preordering. i imagine there will be some great in-store deals. and if not i'm pretty sure lucas will release a big box set with all 6 dvds since he seems to love releasing multiple versions that have just a little bit more than the prior one (afterall he knows many fans will end up buying each version so more money to him i guess).

It's yet another new version.

You can read more about the new changes in the One and Only Star Wars thread.
These are not the 97 SEs nor the Original Classics - they'll be the 2004 Star Wars Trilogy - the first time we'll be seeing these new versions.

Well, we don't know what promotions are going to be offered with this title, but I'd expect most retailers to be competing VERY fiercely on this title.

It was probably the price they had it listed for when he added the link. They most likely lowered it after seeeing everyone else was so low.
As for what versions these will be, they will be the SE's with improved special effects (some didn't come off as good as they should have). A re-done Jabba/Han scene. As well as Han once again shooting first (Lucas did listen to something people complained about).
That's about all the changes I have heard about.

Even though Paramount distributed Indiana Jones, I think Fox will more or less follow the same pricing model. Therefore, I don't think it will be priced much lower than 34.99 at Costco or any other place. I'll be preordering with STL at Amazon and maybe I'll pick up other copies depending on what the giveaway is. From a marketing perspective, I can't wait to see how the set is promoted.

Free shipping, though.
