Well haven't heard anything recently but I will not buy ep. 1 until
its on a disc the size of a audio CD :^) Even if ep. 1 comes out
sooner, I don't EXPECT the 'Classic Trilogy' to be out for a while.

Even on a old TV DVD's look better than VHS :^) I was using mine on
a 13" JVC that was about 14 years old and until the tube went snap
when I turned it on there was a definite difference in picture
quality. (after the snap I liked letterboxed movies even better, the
parts where the color guns were no longer working right fell into the
black bars :^)
Most people don't need DVD yet, but it's a nice perk if you can afford
it, I got mine cheap or I'd have waited longer....
