One thing to be said in favour of the Episodes I and II DVDs is that the extras are exceptionally good. If Lucas had had a documentary crew following him at every step -- writing, casting, all the way through post -- for the original movies with an eye to making a good doco, rather than, say, a half hour tv "making of", then the the resultant footage would be worth the price of the set alone.
For what it's worth, I know that there are good quality rips of the original films from LaserDisc floating around, if you're into that whole downloading scene.
