When ppl were watching it later I had to shout at them to turn the sound down since I want to wait for cinema to see it. i'm told though the quality was v good, perfectly watchable, full screen on 17 inch monitor, sound just a bit dodgy. Apparently most ftp sites changed every 24hrs or so to stop the home modem ppl. What was weird was when I was out last weekend, some bloke came up to me saying "Do you wanna buy the Phantom Menace mate, a tenner on good quality video." I told him I wasn't interested 'cos a) i could have got it from uni for free about a month ago, and B) I wanna see it 1st time on huge cinema screen with THX sound, not my 19inch TV (or 17" monitor). He told me 3 ppl that night had already agreed to buying it. Do some ppl have no sense? Even though from what I hear most of the "bootlegs" are pretty good quality, it's not quite the same is it, watching it on TV as the big screen. Al btw: has anyone else gone into ToysRUs recently and thought abot getting another bank loan/mortage whatever to buy all the cool stuff ;) I want the land speeder lilo :)
