I guess we needed a little mod smack-down before it spiraled to the point of getting locked.

From what another poster said, the transfers aren't coming from the LD's themselves, just the film that the LD's were transferred from. I'm relatively sure the quality will be good enough for me.

So your theory that putting these in anamorphic would make them look too clean or too new is 100% inaccurate.

They make look subjectively worse in that it's easier to spot the flaws. But they'll look objectively better in that you're seeing the flaws because of the resolution boost.
What annoys me more than anything is that my HD DVD player will not stretch non-anamorphic material, which means I have to use my inferior Oppo DVD player.

I know on my widescreen TV, it locks the aspect ratio of a progressive signal. So any benefit I would get from that would be lost from having the gray bars on the left and right of the image also.

It will not be 89.99 here in the states... we got them in a few days ago and i think they were about 70 bucks... so a few more bucks list price than each disc.
Sale price is unknown ... until the flyer gets released online.

Now that I know the price, Im going for the Tin. The lithographs are nice but I know I will never put them up. They will end up in a draw for a few years then in the garbage after that.

I'm stuck between the tin and the graphic novels, which I've never read and seem pretty cool to me.
Anyone know what the prices will be at the WM? I'd like to order online but they are $20 per, and I'm sure they will be less in store.

Star Wars-4 widescreen,1 fullscreen
Empire-1 widescreen, 1 fullscreen
Return- 1 widescreen, 1 fullscreen
It felt like an awfully light shipment especially for Star Wars dvds, but we will see how well that they sell on tuesday.

Sweet. I'll be picking up the tin at 10 am. The Tin at 10 ha ha ha. I picture this as a tin w/ foam inside to house the regular box set. Hopefully it's widescreen too! It would be nice if it also came with a booklet or something.
