i find your lack of pants disturbing

My sister and her family sent me an Amazon.com gift certificate for Christmas. Woo!

I'm thinking of using it to buy the original Star Wars trilogy. I do have them on VHS, but I'd like to get the DVDs as the tapes are getting rather old, and these are movies I know I'd watch over and over. So I put "Star Wars" into the search box, and amongst the hits are the following:

  • Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition with Bonus Disc - $50.49
  • Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition without Bonus Disc - $36.99

    Um? $13.50 more for an extra disc? That seems a bit steep to me. Hrm. I do tend to be a sucker for the more special editions, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Special anime boxes or bonus figures, yeah, that's worth it, but bonus discs that I might not ever get around to watching? Less so. I mean, I still haven't watch all the bonus materials from the LOTR trilogy special sets, and I was really interested in those.

    Thoughts? I know some of you have the new Trilogy set--is the bonus disc worth getting?

    (title comes from a Hatrack thread in which the "pants" game is being played, starting with Star Wars quotes.)
