Exactly! Also let's not overlook the fact that PJ, like with the LotR movies, annouced ahead of time that there will be an EE counterpart coming in the near future. That right there is a great move for those that don't wish to doubledip. If anything PJ is being quite noble in the fact that he's saying you can buy the theatrical now, OR wait until the EE comes out "towards the end of the year".
I only wish other filmmakers/studios would adpot this process.
