I think the bigger deal is its some 30 dollars that could have been spent on a 
new anime, manga, what have you. It's nice to have a good deal of money to 
spend on tapes and dvds, but some people, especially the younger fans, will 
have more trouble dropping another 30 bucks to get the better version after 
the studio screwed up the first time.

My two cents,
