Albert

16vmarc

Theyre both 2.35:1 Anamorphic widescreen

16vmarc

And i bet you have the original box set and the Special Edition box set too dont you!

tiggers

Fair enough considering your user name mate

suprabeast

whats the difference??

Sith

I should add that I will have Gold in Normal Screen from the USA and the Gold Widescreen from HMV as well as the Silver Widescreen. Me obsessed?

I appreciate the understanding comments.

Suprabeast, in the UK both Gold (HMV exclusive) and Silver are 2.35.1 Anamorphic Widescreen. In the US, Gold is 4:3 Normal Screen and the Silver is AM 2:35:1

16vmarc

Your buying all 3 lol

So do you have the original box set and Special Edition box then???

Sith

I do have several box sets. Got the Gold and Silver VHS, Got other incarnations of Box set on VHS plus various other Star Wars on VHS. A mate used to work at the Authoring plant for the VHS sets. He got me some from the first batch of VHS box sets that were duplicated on slow run. Superior piccy quality.

The one I really want is the Executor and the American Laser Disc versions.

16vmarc

were these 12" laser discs??

richiewong

I got the UK box set laserdisc and silver DVD

Sith

Yep. Going to have to get round to collecting the various LD's out there.

STi-Frenchie

Sith, I hope you weren't into Pokemon (gotta collect 'em all)

If you want, I can pick up a French language (silver) box set for you - I was in Inverness at the weekend and noticed that the UK (silver) set didn't have this "option".

La guerre des etoiles: que la force soit avec vous

Kane

silver is 2:35:1 so no difference..maybe just the bumf with it? Then again you could wait for the olive case or the blue case which is the digitally enhanced opening credits, then teh end credits are a different colour. i hear they are gonna be making Star Wars VII - so get your money ready again for the silver set - gold set - olive set - and red set...

media machine on drugs i think in this case - how many versions of star wars can you buy..LMFAO

star wars on betamax
star wars on VHS
Star Wars on VHS gold
Star Wars on VHS Gold digitally enhanced
Star Wars on Laser Disk type 1, 2, 3 who cares
Star Wars on DVD now I II IV V VI double disk set with leather posing puch...


I am waiting for LOTR extended version - now thats class...

Sith

Sonic - Had a look but couldn't find. Have you put them up yet. Be interested to see the price you have set.

*Sonic*

No not put them up yet

will be 200 quid with the Laserdisc player (or thereabouts)

16vmarc

Theres a laserdisc player on with the trilogy. And a few laserdisc sets too.

Sith

Best thing todo is watch a few lotts like yours and see what they go for.

*Sonic*

yes but the trilogy they have is the special edition version

mine is the American Widescreen THX NON special edition version, the one that will never be released on DVD (allegedly)


you know the one, its the one with Darth Vader in Grey

Sith

They may have finished, but there were al least 2 of the above versions. They were 20 quid when I last looked.
