You are the reason why my company exit the PC market and almost collapsed.
You are the reason why DRM continues to cripple lives.
You are the reason why my 50Mbps line is throttled to 2Mbps after 2GB of data.

You, sir, are everything that I fundamentally loathe.

You sir, are an *ss hole.

1. Copyright laws are out dated.
2. DRM 'crippling lives?' What are you talking about? Lives?
3. The amount of data is not the issue. The amount of bandwidth and our infrastructure is (assuming you're talking about America).

fun fact, there have been studies and some movies have actually lost picture quality going from dvd to blueray as some companites will not recapture off the film itself and actually just reformat... doubt they'll do it with a film as big as star wars... but buyer beware. me i'll keep my vhs special seditions till i can get a legal digital copy

and i agree peopl who torrent are stealing and thiefs deserve to be punished via restitution and possible imprisonment to learn to respect other people's property

How much "never-before-seen deleted and alternate scenes" can there be? They are adding more with every release. Are they creating those and pretending they're from the 70's?

Still, I won't lie : 1080p original trilogy where Han shot first does sound good...

Copyright laws are out dated? What the hell are you talking about? It's a simple matter of demand and supply. Nobody demanded our PC products any more because they were cracked and distributed on torrent websites, it's as simple as that.

In that respect, I hope you're not trying to defend piracy. If you are, then you're truly the worst kind of pirate there is.

Why didn't they put the trailer on the bigger screen? And who wrote the script? Terrible production for such a big showing.

There isn't much... theres about 15mins of New Hope floating around. I actually saw Star Wars in the 70s and it always bugged me that the video version cut out Luke introducing Leia to Biggs before getting in his X-Wing fighter. It messes up things cause when BIGGs get blown away - you see both Luke and Leia upset about his death. Duh, Leia just meet the guy and knew Biggs and Luke grew up together. In the re-mastered New Hope, Lucas thankfully re-added that shot.

Or when I saw Empire Strikes Back - I saw the version in theaters in which R2 Looks up and see's a Snow-creature looking at him (What we see, the Imperial AT-AT's are coming and snow falls on R2's head, but in the original script and filmed - the Wampa/Snow Monsters attacked the Rebal base too, which would have been kind-of stupid during a major high-tech battle) - so that "eye shot" was rather confusing.

So theres always plenty on the cutting room floor... Check out Extended Avatar, but it has about another 40mins of un-finished shots/scenes and while its good to see it, some of it was garbage.... besides making the moving almost 4hrs long. But I do wish the Extended DVD/BR Avatar was shown in Theaters as the launch of the Shuttle from the StarShip was very cool and would have been cool to see in 3D. But that's marketing... to get people to see more by buying the discs.

DRM does SUCK, I hate it. But I do buy my discs...

Those original light sabers are going to look pretty awful in 1080p resolution.

I'll wait for the pack to hit $60.00 on special.

While this is an exaggeration, DRM really is getting out of hand. I bought an e-reader back in October and trying to load books onto my reader PURCHASED from various sources is such a pain. I had to register accounts with multiple sites just to get a single book to work. Now I've learned to just buy the books I want and strip the DRM off myself. Woe to the e-book industry once the torrent sites start listing more books.

I... am at home?

There are words coming off of your keyboard but none of them are making any sense.

It looks like you're trying to defend piracy! Would you like assistance?

Moron.

You're an idiot, a thief and that sums it all.

Now, I'm no fan of the RIAA or MPAA - they're the cause of half the problems...

You're on the Earth,
We're on the Earth...
So therefore we can go to your house and take your stuff.

+1.

There's no excuse at all to defend piracy (even if you are a pirate - at least have the balls to admit that what you do is wrong).

One should be stupid to buy these... havn't they announced the 3d version in 2012 or 13? I would wait for those.
