I have to say...all this talk amuses me. I seem to remember that when the
2004 editions came out, everyone was pissed as hell for not getting the
original versions. Now, he is releasing the original (well, the '93)
versions....and ppl are bitching. Sure, the dude is going to make tons of
green off this....and...if you think about it....its going to get released
again in HD (more than likely)..and if the 3D thing happens....another
release. But back to these releases......the original is getting put
out...why bitch and moan?
