So, how many changed their mind?
 
I must admit that I'm smiling away here, as someone who vowed not to buy this set, it brings a sweet sense of smugness to see so many disappointed with the release. Hey, a few of us tried to tell ya...

Regardless, I'm interested in how many folks changed their mind about buying the set.

TylerDurden_73 10-01-04 04:30 PM

Said I would buy it...Love it

Jackskeleton 10-01-04 04:59 PM

hey, didn't I say that all those who vowed to not buy it because of the lucas child raping, will indeed, buy it in the long run? ;)

You just keep on smilin', there (it's better for your health ;)).

I didn't change my mind about anything. I wanted the set, I bought the set, I am very pleased with the set.

So, what was it, exactly, that you few were trying to tell me?

Fok 10-01-04 05:34 PM

I bet all those people who didn't buy it are dying to see what its like.

Nobody as of yet fits that category, so at this point, you're wrong. :)

Said I'd never buy the set, but caved like a spineless jelly fish


I'm the only one?!?

Rest assured, you're not the only one. You're just the only one (so far) who is willing to publicly admit it. ;)

You bet. That's why I have my copy of the new version of Star Wars sitting here with me from Netflix. I want to watch it & compare it to my anamorphic bootlegs of the original trilogy. I actually plan to watch each one back to back and compare for myself. I already watched a copy of the excellent documentary on the 4th disc so that was not a big deal.

I never said that I did not want to check them out. I just will not support them with my money until the OT is released.

I must admit, I don't give a shit that you feel "smug". Great set, your loss.

(Your poll doesn't seem to support your "smugness", imagine that. :lol: )

Sir, I applaud your honesty.:up:

So, are you glad you got the set?

Sure it does. The vast majority of those who said they wouldn't buy have done just that. Only two folks caved so far.

And it's a private poll, so being afraid to admit it is irrelevant.

mjlukich 10-04-04 11:58 AM

Seems like your poll needs another option. I don't know, maybe something like:

-Said I would buy the set, did, and am disappointed.

jaeufraser 10-04-04 12:38 PM

Considering most of us here knew exactly what was going to be in this set ahead of time, I'm not sure what's really to be disapointted about.

Myself, I love it. I've got beautifully restored Star Wars on DVD, and now I can go sell my LD defnitive collection for way too much money. Yeah, I'm someone who really would not buy the original versions, the difference isn't enough for me to care.

Neil S. Bulk 10-04-04 12:47 PM

I said I wouldn't buy it and I haven't. It's not a movie that I would watch.

That's right, you keep telling yourself that. :rolleyes:

Then why in the world would you navigate to a Star Wars-specific forum and take the time to reply if it is not a film you would ever watch?

Sometimes I truly wonder about people.

bboisvert 10-05-04 10:35 AM

Your poll is confusing because of the addition of "and I'm loving it." at the end of the final option. What does loving it have to do with whether or not people changed their minds?


You have no option on your poll for someone said they were going to buy it, bought it, and hated it.
Or someone who said they were going to buy it, bought it, and think it's OK, but don't love it.

DonnachaOne 10-05-04 10:36 AM

Actually, I never said I wouldn't buy the set, but I'm unimpressed with the set, so...

frijj-lover 10-05-04 11:36 AM

can you buy the original originals on dvd?

DonnachaOne 10-05-04 12:23 PM

No, frijj. This has been covered in other threads.

calhoun07 10-05-04 04:30 PM

How about...said I would buy it, but haven't because I am waiting for the DDDVD 20% discount choice?

That's right, because the poll is about changing your mind in regard to purchasing once it was released, not how much folks are enjoying it, hating it, regretting it, etc.

Because it's there.

And because I have been writing extensively about the audio errors made throughout the film formerly known as Star Wars.
