	Just got it! Ordered via Amazon.com yesterday afternoon and it arrived at 6pm today.. and that was with free shipping (average 5-9 days)! Love the behind the scenes bits, does the same job as a commentary but with less chit-chat. The ForceCast offers enough "commentary" in round tables and interviews, so I don't miss the audio commentaries. Booklet DVD cases are the way to go! Last year's Target exclusive Kingdom of the Crystal Skull dvd book made me fall in love with the idea. I don't miss the Blu-Ray features, as I'm more interested in the episodes and commentary than simple model turntables and rough scenes. I'm currently importing episodes to play with them in Final Cut. Malevolence the movie, perhaps? -----signature----- "No, no, you will die!" KSHHHHH-ZAPPPP-KSHHHHH!!!!!

	Just my two cents with the whole Blu-ray fiasco: yesterday, I checked two Best Buys and three Targets in the Boise area with no luck. When I had pretty much given up, I hit one of the five local Wal-Marts and found the Blu-ray set, but only 4 copies, for $44.88. I grabbed that and went on my way. Today I was hunting for some DC Universe Wal-Mart exclusive and Target Exclusive figures and decided to check for grins. I found that the one Wal-Mart that I got my set in was now sold out and that none of the other four here even got it in. The three Targets hadn't gotten it overnight either. I called around town to the rest of the stores that I could think of that sell Blu-ray and it appears that the four I found at the one Wal-Mart were the only ones available over the last couple of days. Most have no idea when they'll actually be getting it. I'm curious as to what's going on now.

I would love to see a story about it on TFN's front page tomorrow.

	I have a question about aspect ratio. Is the DVD full-frame and only the Blu-ray in widescreen? Because every online retailer I've checked (Amazon.ca, Futureshop.ca, Bestbuy.ca) is saying that the aspect ratio is "full frame" or "1.33:1". Is this true or is it a mistake? Is there a full-frame version that I need to be aware of to avoid when looking for the DVD?

	Besides the definition difference, there is nothing to avoid video-wise in the standard DVD set. It is anamorphic widescreen 1.33:1 just as the Clone Wars movie release was. Nothing to fear, there is no full frame release. -----signature----- "No, no, you will die!" KSHHHHH-ZAPPPP-KSHHHHH!!!!!

	Update for those of you who have ordered or are looking for the Blu-Ray: After being told by my local Best Buy that they did not get their shipment and that there is a supply problem across the country, I received another email from bestbuy.com yesterday telling me that I need to pick up my shipment from my local store within 6 days or my order would be cancelled. I called best buy and explained that I can't pick up what the store doesn't have and that I DO NOT want my order cancelled. After putting me on hold for a few minutes, I was told that this is "weird" and that the rep says that it looks like the warehouses have the discs and he has no idea why the stores do not. So, he altered my order and is now supposedly over nighting a copy to me for no additional charge. I want to believe it's going to be as simple as that, but I'm kind of hesitant to believe it. Something else is going on here.

	I just had the luckiest thing ever happen to me, at least in regards to finding something at a store. I went by Best Buy and as seems to be the norm they didn't have any Blu-rays of it, so I went across the street to Walmart to check, and they had a spot for it but it was empty. I checked in the DVD section to see if they at least had the DVD version (Best Buy didn't even have that) and just for the hell of it I went through all of the DVD copies and the very last one was a Blu-Ray version. I love that it's finally in the full aspect ratio and nothing's being cut off the sides. It feels like watching them for the first time all over again, I remember the same thing happening the first time I watch the widescreen OT DVD set. -----signature----- Fett Forever _( l-\|
