Completely Outrageous (Score:5, Interesting)

This move by Lucas is motivated purely by greed. He tells everyone that a DVD will not be
released for 4-5 years and that we should all go out and buy the VHS copy bsecause he needed
time to create the perfect DVD. Now, after all of his fans have bought the VHS version of his
movie, he is now saying that a DVD will made. This is completely outrageous, and no one should
buy this version.
Many people believed Lucas, and bought the VHS version under the false impression that a DVD
version was not forthcoming. What Lucas should be required to do is offer all the poor saps who
bought the VHS version an option to upgrade their copy to the superior DVD format.
I imagine that in 4-5 years Lucas is going to come out with a special edition DVD/VHS box set
with all Star Wars movies. This means that if you listen to the marketing machine at Lucas films,
and bought all of the versions of his Star Wars movies you'll have
3 copies of each of Episode's 4-6 (the regular edition, the special edition, and the DVD/VHS
Episodes 1-6 special edition).
3 copies of the Phantom Menace (the VHS version, the DVD version, and the DVD/VHS
Episodes 1-6 special edition)
2 copies of Episode's 2 and 3 (the regular DVD/VHS version, and the DVD/VHS Episodes
1-6 special edition).
If I did my addition and multiplication right, it means you'll have bought 16 copies of the various
Star Wars movies for a total price of of at least $400. Pretty amazing.
