&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp You can read the article here, as well as on page 1D of the paper edition.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp It's news that I've known about for a little while now, but it's great that the DVD set's release has finally been confirmed in a mainstream newspaper!

I just wish they'd release them individually. I only want the first one. But of course if they did that they'd sell billions of the first, millions of the third and half-a-dozen of the second. This way they get to sell billions of all three.

Sigh.

Still, it'll be so sweet to see Raiders in digital. Yeah baby.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp My sentiment exactly!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Since buying my first DVD player in October 2000 (I now have two DVD players, not including both my Playstation 2 and the DVD/CD ROM drive in my PC), I have not watched a pre-recorded VCR tape for over two years... until about a month ago.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I popped my Widescreen Indiana Jones VHS tapes into the VCR (one at a time, of course ), and oh man what a dropoff in visual and audio quality compared to DVD! And I suspect that the quality of the tapes hadn't gotten any worse than it was before... it's just that I'd gotten so used to the digital quality of DVD's to the point of perhaps taking it for granted.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp It's unfathomable that one of the greatest film series in cinematic history hadn't made it to DVD for so long - there are so many worse films out there that have long ago made the jump to DVD!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Better late than never, I suppose.

I, too, can no longer view VHS tapes of movies. The quality is just so durn poor. As for the wait, I don't mind. If it has been restored frame by frame I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Add in the whole disk of extra, which if they follow the Lucas/Spielberg mold will be excellent.

I'm willing to wait for greatness any day of the week.
