Sure a Blu-ray set came out a few years ago (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/star-wars-blu-ray-to-include-more-than-40-hours-of-special-featu/), but if physical media isn't your thing then Friday is the big day (yes, they're still the "special" editions). The movies will be available globally through retailers like Vudu, Xbox (http://news.xbox.com/2015/04/xbox-star-wars-digital-movies-arrive), PlayStation (https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/585268556276768768), Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/movies/collection/promotion_4000f3d_star_wars), iTunes (https://twitter.com/iTunesMovies/status/585271865679060992), Amazon and others. If you need a reason to do the digital double-dip, take a peek at the promised new extras, like "Discoveries from Inside" featurettes for each movie, and "Conversations" between key contributors. Vudu is taking pre-orders on the full set (http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content/656496/Star-Wars-The-Digital-Movie-Collection-Bundle-plus-bonus-features) for $90 (US) and Google Play shows the individual movies for $20 each (https://play.google.com/store/movies/collection/promotion_4000f3d_star_wars) -- in case you're wondering, the Blu-ray set is listed on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Complete-Episodes-Blu-ray/dp/B003ZSJ212) for the same price.
