Got mine at Wal-Mart for 42.87 Not bad, and it was on my way to work. I’ve watched half of ANH and …just WOW. Whatever you do though, don’t listen with headphones on. The dialogue is all cut and paste audio and you can hear the flaws real well with headphones. If you absolutely have to check for yourself the ‘blue milk’ scene is a prime example.

Yeh I noticed that too the cut and paste it howwible.
And why the hell haven’t the SFX been cleaned up? I still see boxes around Tie Fighters…

R.K.–have you used the THX optimizers? If you do that, you shouldn’t see the boxes anymore.

I see the cut and paste most in Episode 4. They did a hell of alot of cleaning up. Its lovely to look at but doesn’t seem to gel. Especially on Tatooine where the droids look like they’ve been lifted onto a single plate background. Its just static and has no feel to it.
There was a lovely organic film quality to Episode 4 that seems to have gone.
But I guess thats just progress.
