I am still of two minds whether to buy it or not. I have no possibility to get the unscrewed version here.

Whether it is easier on the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous changes...
or take arms against a sea of Lucas marketing, and by opposing, end it?
..... no way in hell am I going to waste my money on this.

Regardless of whether you think such a protest would have any effect, why would you want to purchase movies that you most probably will be unable to watch because they're so terrible?
And do you want to put another cent in the pocket of the man who has ruined these movies for us?
Come on, people. Think.

Also, I can give you the rest of my SW collection to boot, since I won't be needing that either because after I watch them one last time, I'll never pick them up again (I've said that roughly a million times already!).
That'll be after Episode III comes out in the UAE, which should be roughly a year from now. Is that OK with you?

Right now I have 5 copies of the OT, but I want to be safe. But there is no way Lucas is going to get any of my money from that crapfest! =)

Paladin, thank you, that's very, very sweet and generous of you. But I really would not want such sacrifice from your side. Keep your collection for your children (or any other kids worthy of it, if you are not planning to have any in the nearest future ), so you can show them those pure versions. And - you never know, you may rediscover them yourself some time.
For example, the thing I regret most is throwing away all my early Star Wars novels I wrote when I was twelve.
Also, the problem with me is that I have never owned a VCR. I watch all I have on my computer. It seems a bit too much to me to buy a VCR (and probably a TV too, in case you cannot connect a VCR to the computer) - all just to watch three films.
But JYAMG is right about giving money to Lucas. I gather I needed a reminder of that We should avoid it at all cost.
Maybe I will come across a divix version one day.

Glad to hear that, J M HofMarN.
I discovered a long time ago that TV kills family life. Also watching TV late at night brings alternately insomnia and bad dreams. But I also watch films and play games when I have time.
