I recently read that 20th Century Fox and LucasFilm will release Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith on DVD only. No VHS. I can't say I wasn't expecting something like this in the coming years, but given that the Prequels are a trilogy, I hoped to have all three released in the same format. Out of respect for millions of fans who kept the series alive for three decades. Now it seems we are being forced to buy a goddamn DVD to enjoy the movie.
Before declaring eternal war against all film companies and making a solemn vow not to legally purchase more movies while I have breath (and broadband connection), I'd like somebody to confirm the news. Please, tell me it's nothing but a stupid rumor!
And now, to all those who attack piracy, I'd say the following: I've downloaded stuff for years, but I always bought the tapes afterwards. I don't like DVD because you have to pay like three or four times more for the same features a crappy VCR already had, as if recording a program from TV were a luxury. Peter Jackson had no problems releasing Lord of the Rings (another top seller) on VHS. Even the extended versions. So I don't wanna hear the scarce VHS sales are not worth it. That's bullshit. I want ROTS on VHS, and I'm a costumer, and costumers are always right, huh? If you expect less sales, release LESS tapes. You won't go bankrupt. So, if you keep screwing fans, how can you whine about piracy?
THIS MEANS WAR!
