Recordable DVD's are already out. They are in two different forms DVD-RAM and DVD-R (or DVD-RW same thing but re-writable). DVD-R's can be written to and then played on most existing DVD players. DVD-RAM will not play on existing players.

: Any thoughts on George Lucas stating that not enough DVD machines have been sold to warrant release of the Original Trilogy? When Recordable DVDs come out (which cannot play old DVDs), then enough of those have to be sold to warrant release. I am no longer holding out. A buddy bought Behind the Magic, a CD ROM which contains all of the missing scenes, including Han making out with a chick in the cantina. So the DVD is moot.

: I remember thinking thank God nobody I know bought the Dogma DVD when it first came out, since there was rumbles of a special edition on the way.
: Now that looks like a worthwhile investment.

: But how long will it be before all DVDs become paper weights thanks to RDVD? Anybody know?
