I got the Complete Saga set this afternoon at our local Target. They seemed to be the cheapest in-store place around here to have it. I got the lithograph set for free with BD purchase (if you're curious what it is, it's basically a set of the art that appears inside the BD packaging).
I'm not a "hardcore" Star Wars fan by any means, but I still wanted this set. The extras I've skimmed through are nice, I watched most of the deleted scenes for the original trilogy, some rather bland, some really interesting.
A note to anone who buys this and may have an older BD player. On my older one, which I don't believe is updatable, it had an issue playing some of the old standard-definition documentaries, the original trilogy ones. It showed them in a box in the upper left hand corner that was about 1/6 of the screen. They played correctly (fullscreen, black bars on the side) on my newer player.
Here's a question for some really big fans. I might have noticed a change, but I'm not sure if it is a change... It just didn't sound right based on memory. In the scene where Vader comes to the Emperor telling him the rebels arrived on Endor and Luke is among them, Palpatine tells him Luke will come to Vader. Vader says "He will come to me?" Except here there is a definite inflection on "to ME?", whereas I swear in the original he says it more as a statement. Am I incorrect? I don't watch these films anywhere near as much as say, Godzilla films, so I can't remember specifically.
Also the whole added "no" thing isn't as horrible as I thought it would be, but I still think it was a needless change.
