if they stop selling individual copies of the movies, i understand this to some degree. most people in the future will likely need all 8 so if they just sell box sets i suppose that makes more sense - but if they stop selling those in the future too, that would just be really sad

i am really really stoked to hear even though its almost 2 years away that they will release an 8 disc ultimate edition set!! i really want the ultimate editions but didnt want to start buying them if they would be doing something like this!! very exciting news!!
