Some of the worst official dvd releases out there for movies have simply been laser masters dumped onto dvd with no care involved. And that's exactly what we'll be getting from the company that at one time was at the forefront of producing quality presentations.

All of which would make watching it on a 1080i HDTV even more pointless.

I've got the originals on video for authentic 70's picture and sound quality, I personally don't feel the need to buy this set. It's a good thing for you youngsters who weren't old enough to see the originals first time round though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
