Its been going on for years. I got "conned" into buying the star wars eps 4/5/6 VHS tapes when the shops here were advertising them as "not being around for much longer". They were the original WS releases. Then a few months later the re-mastered versions came out. Then the w/s remasters, etc. etc.
A friend had the ultimate T2 version on LD - awesome, with all the extras. There were several different releases of it. And this was, what - 10 + years ago?
You get some edits that work a lot better though - such as the Lawnmower Man. Made no sense at the cinema, but the extended release actually sorted out some (not all) of the stupid plot twists.
