I didn't think he would bluff.

What I can't understand is how they can release on Laserdisc, which I think has an install base of around 2.5 million in the U.S., and not on DVD which has already hit that mark. Why not release now and then again after all the films are done? I mean, *six* years? I don't think they would be accused of money grabbing by releasing two sets of films six years apart.

I just don't get it. Never mind, I have 'Always' on pre-order (one of my favourite Spielberg films), and 'Jaws' is on BBC1 this weekend (hopefully in anamporphic widescreen - most of their film output is!)

: I don't think Lucas is prone to bluffing.

: And just think, by the time all 6 are done, high definition DVD should be around...
