Those 843p screen caps don't look largely better than the 480p DVD screen caps. There is a marginal improvement in fine detail and color saturation, but the most noticeable alteration is that the contrast has been boosted considerably.

I wonder how long it will be before these films are released individually on Blu? It was about two years after the OT was released that we saw separate releases. Personally, I'm only interested in ESB on BD.

I re-sized the two AotC pictures to match the DVD captures.

I gotta get the full trilogy set, but I hope the price goes down a bit.

Probs will get it later than in September though (hopefully some Holiday deals!)

Just because an image is brighter does not necessarily mean there is contrast boosting. It could just be that black crush has been alleviated. The only way to be sure is if there has been an increase in white crush. These caps aren't the best scenes to judge that.

Anyways, these aren't even blu-ray caps; they're publicity stills. Who knows what manipulation they've been subjected to? Really, these images are useless in predicting what the blu-rays will deliver.

If you see it any other way, it's because you're drinking the kool-aid pretty hard core. It's fine to be a fan...I would consider myself one. But as a whole, the prequels are bad.
Sigh... I'll just quote myself:

Why do some of you find it hard to understand that 'opinion ≠ fact'?

This thread has literally thousands of circulating arguments so it would be pointless to sift through all of that, besides it's not 3 pages back, unless the image is blocked on my work computer, which they are sometimes.

Posted by DVDmike, not that it matters. Mods will delete all the pages from there anyhow lol.

Edit: in fact they already have deleted it along with 2 pages of drivel. Watch your backs, suspensions looming if you keep going off topic!

no, but I guess I consider stuff like that on topic, if we were to talk about LOTR, or maybe how I can easily sell back fish and underwear to Wal-mart, that would be off topic.

Fair enough, the mods don't agree as they have already deleted the first time it was posted so be careful!

i have a even more related question. Do you think the bonus features (I'm thinking mainly of the deleted scenes) will be available to rent or watch on youtube?
