First off, there was an announcement about a month ago, saying that
Lucasfilm had finally felt the pressure from the fans and were going to
start work on the trilogy DVD and EP1 DVD.
If you are waiting to buy a DVD... all I can say is WHY? If you watch a lot
of movies, you are missing a LOT when viewing them on VHS. Granted, in order
to get the full effect of a DVD player you NEED to have a receiver that does
Dolby Digital playback. But Sony has a HomeTheater in a Box that includes a
DVD and it is like $699 (check out this monthes issue of HomeTheater
Magazine.)
I know, buying this set up would mean less Lego purchases, but, you may
never want to go to the movies again, with a decent HT system in your house!

| (...) Wow... I hope so. (...) IMO DVD is cool technology, but I won't a player until it becomes neccesary (ie: VHS dies.) The reason is DVD movies typically cost $5-$10 more than VHS, and I don't see much difference in visual quality. My former (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
