Episode II - new reference dvd?

anyone have a chance to look at the episode ii dvd? for better or for worse, something tells me that we're all gonna be seeing this movie every time you walk into a best buy, circuit city, etc.
some comments from dvdfile.com review of the disc:
Colors pop off the screen, almost unreal in their purity and clarity. Reproduction and stability are perfect, and never have I seen such vivid and rich reds and greens! While some have doubted that digitally shot material can produce "true blacks," that doesn't seem to be a problem here. The image is rock solid and contrast excellent, and needless to say there are no "film" imperfections to worry about, such as faded blacks, dropouts, blemishes, dirt or scratches.
In terms of resolution, any feared lack of depth or detail does not seem to be apparent. Check out the Blade Runner-esque landscapes of the first chase sequence, or the CGI bonanza of the final clone battle, and the sense of fine texture and detail is astounding. And as for any edge enhancement or compression artifacts, look all you want but don't expect to find any. (I couldn't.) This is a lifelike, three-dimensional experience that will wow even uneducated friends and family. If you're looking for the new reference-standard DVD, you've found it.
