I'm waiting for the Second Release of these DVDs. God only knows they're coming.

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).

Special editions.

Neither.

It's yet another new version.

nope, it's the latter ... these are the same SE's that were released on laserdisc & VHS in '97 I believe.

No these are definitely special editions of the special editions.

You believe incorrectly.

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.

Assuming that Best Buy has a bonus disc, will it be worth it to pay an extra $10-$15 for it? Anyone know if it will happen? What would be on it?

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.

Where did this price come from? It's not even close to DDD's real, and very low, price point (of $41.88). ........

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.

Say what? Since when? I live in PA and Amazon has never charged me sales tax. I just placed an order for Star Wars (with STL). No tax added.

Costco has it 42.99!

They'll probably discount it $8 to get it down to $34.99, like they did for Indiana Jones.

It seems to depend on from where they ship the order - if it comes out of Kentucky, then no tax - if it comes from PA or even Wilmington, DE I get charged tax.

Free shipping, though.

So far Amazon (with STL) is the best deal.

Thanks

thanks, I just copied and pasted.

I got mine with STL for $36.49 in MD.

$41.99 - 10% STL = $37.79

Did you have a $1.30 credit somehow?

I don't know where that disembodied italic voice came from, but I like the way he works!

Uh...will someone explain what STL means?

Thanks.
