***Uh....Saving Private Ryan, American Beauty (Oct. 1), Galaxy Quest (May 2), Small Soldiers, Antz, Prince of Egypt, Deep Impact, Amistad, and The Peacemaker. Gee Scott, that's almost their entire library of movies that are all released on DVD***Remember a little movie called Raiders of the Lost Ark? What about the rest of the trilogy? Or ET? Or Jaws? Or Jurassic Park? Or.... oh forget it.
Either the movies are there or they aren't. Trying to guess why is just jerking time.

Since you don't like the SW movie and stated that guessing reasons is jerking time, why did you bother to respond to my post in the first place?

If I had known that I was dealing with a lawyer I would have worded my earlier post more carefully.Raiders was produced by LucasFilm but was distributed to video by Paramount. Jaws is a Universal film but was distributed to video by MCA. The original Star Wars was produced and distributed to video by Fox. Blah blah blah. Lucas and Seilberg retain control of DVD home video rights. And since neither one of them is exactly standing on a street corner begging spare change, they can afford to wait until encryption technology is secure, so that they can sell their titles over and over and over again as they have done so many times in the past.
Question: since you said you wanted to spit on the sign you saw in Best Buy, did you? And do you get these urges often?
I'm being judgemental mind you, only curious.
Well scott, I've told you that Lucas is on record saying he is waiting for HD-DVD to be marketed before releasing his films in DVD format. From what I've read he is a strong supporter of HDTV and feels it is pointless to have low res DVDs with such high res display devices. FWIW, any encryption technology will be broken. And any DVD will make more money in print than it will out of print, your little theory about "waiting to sell their titles over and over and over again" notwithstanding. Relax a little. You seem overly hostile. This is not a big deal.
> > You seem overly hostile. < <No "seem" about it. Scott IS hostile, and there's no call for it.
*** Scott IS hostile***Wow - your perceptions are really skewed. Too much coffee maybe?
