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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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