Well I bought a multi regin DVD player for many reasons (not from china
:)

a. I can buy region 1 DVD's upto 6 months before the UK/european cinema
release. b. the obvious picture and sound quality (although some are straight
conversions from video!) c. most of my video collection has degraded over time
(I give videos about 5 year life span).

As for SW on DVD I read that Lucas is not releasing it because he wants to
oversee what goes on the DVD and how it's presented blah blah blah. Either his
attempts to control his star wars creation has become an obsession or he is
going for the money grabbing marketing ploy.

Either way I think he's finally lost it. I am not buying the Phantom Menace
until the DVD comes out. (I'm sorry but the film isn't worth buying twice).
