Dazzla Veteran Posted September 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 20, 2004 Got mine this morning, it's the Gold version, but it's Widescreen. It's not like the US where Gold = 4:3 and Silver = 16:9.

Neo003 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I don't get it why would you buy now let the DVD for sw3 come out and of course they will release box set for all six, rather then collecting 5 episodes and then buy one separate & having a ugly duckling sitting right next to the box set.

Yazoo Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I prefer the Platinum one as this is the superior Widescreen(WS) edition = more movie. The Gold = Pan and Scan (PS) = movie frame is cut. This tradition of Platinum (WS) Gold (PS) stems back to the lazer disc versions then VHS versions. I have always bought the Platinum versions. Looks better too IMHO :) In the case of these latest releases there is no PS in the UK version (region 2) so you have a choice, both are excatly the same. Only the outer cover is different.

The first 2 would be separate also, this box is only episodes 4-6.

Tiger.Girl Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I am a starwars freak so thanks much for the pics dazz! You got anymore, or maybe a couple screen caps to see the quality? I have to wait till tuesday here so I will probably drive out to walmart since they are open 24/7 and pick it up at midnight :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220236-star-wars-is-here/#findComment-584593350 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted September 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 20, 2004 As far as I know the Gold one is exclusive to HMV in the UK, thats why I cancelled my Play.com order and grabbed it from there :D Just Episode III to go now Georgy boy, don't ###### it up...

sto110 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 niel19_us said: :laugh: Well that's even more f**ked up deal isn't it. :laugh: Jk Yeah it is and isnt. The DVD's inside the box look identical (formating/spine/etc) to the first two. So when all 6 are out if you can buy a box for the 6 movies you have the boxed set. Similar to what i did with kill bill. Bestbuy had the box for the 2 movies for free. I am hoping to get a cheap/free box for the new trilogy after ep3 comes out on dvd. Cant complain too much about lucas .... we have been screamin for years for him to release the old trilogy! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220236-star-wars-is-here/#findComment-584593389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellasVagabond Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 For those who say they got the Silver Version a week ago i say NOWAY, since Lucasarts released it on the 18th worldwide ( Unless of course you know george ;) ) As for me i ordered it from AMAZON so i have to wait and get see it.... However as for the new episodes goind Silver when the 3rd Episode gets released i say do what you want since the Older ones are FAR better than the new ones. GO DARTH :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220236-star-wars-is-here/#findComment-584593532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, some people (like me) think the new Star Wars movies BLOW HORRIBLY. I wouldn't pay a dime to get them on DVD. If Episode 3 is decent, I'd get that, but Episode 1 and 2 can drop dead for all I care.
