Re: Individual Indiana Jones Special Editions on DVD

You know, wekeep complaining abotu lucas and his rereleases, but if people didn't buy them, he wouldn't do it. I for one am not rebuying anything until its on blu ray, and only then if the features are good.

It isn't just Lucas's rereleases how many other movies have been double dipped on DVD? Now of course some are warranted as their original version was subpar (Highlander) but take a look at something like the Princess Bride, that's been rereleased like what? 20 times? Or T2. Lucas is just an easy target because he's a face we can put to a property. Whereas these other movies it's just a big faceless studio but they're just as greedy.

That is so true! You guys really need to layoff Lucas as though he's the grandfather of greed. All of Hollywood is greedy by nature, it isn't as if Lucas cornered the market on the whole debacle. Look at Disney for example -- you can't tell me they haven't been milking it to the public over that last 30-years in the home entertainment market!

The thing that makes me laugh about Disney is the whole "we're putting it back in the vault" so buy it soon crap. Like they actually have a vault with stacks of Unsold Aladdin and Beauty and the Best DVD's. With a guard out front saying "No, no we can't sell these, they've been put in the vault!"

And let's not forget when Disney first released DVDs back in 98, they were double the price of any other studio! Yeah, like "Snow White" is so much better than classics from WB/FOX/Universal! Talk about greedy!

Like the LOTR, "thou shall not pass!"

I believe this new SpEd release news about 'INDY' is a CONFIRMATION that work on new hi-def masters has now been done, and these new SD-DVD are an improvement over the earlier box set (which some people were not happy with that set's A/V quality).

And which means that we might see the Blu-ray Hi-Def release within the next year or so, too, perhaps by the Christmas season when Indy 4 probably is released to home video.

So, whether you are planning on buying the new SD-DVD set, or wait for a Blu-ray set later, it's great that the films have been remastered.

Another fine trilogy re-release A Must Have

Hey LH, you gotta admit that the 2003 high-def remastered Indy set looked pretty darn good. I don't even think it needed to be improved for a Blu-ray release.
