Kinda like Apple in that respect no? "Heres the iPhone! Buy it, its brilliant!"

3 months later "Heres the iPhone 3G, new and improved! Buy it, it'll never get any better than this!"

Then another 9 months pass... "Heres the iPhone 3Gi, the best version yet! Buy it, it will get no better..!"

Hmm... I notice a pattern forming!


Back on topic, I love Star Wars! But I'm not that fussed about getting HD versions, mainly coz I dont have an HD TV or player!

I have the original 3 on VHS, plus 1/2/3 on DVD and thats Ok for me.

That's really the only way to truly watch the original!

It's like listening to ABBA--you gotta listen to them on 8-track, or it just isn't the same!
