Video Business reports that 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Lucasfilm will release Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, expected to be one of the fourth quarter’s top sellers, on DVD only. “Star Wars” will be the first major new release to skip VHS, some say a move that is unsurprising because of its heavy DVD audience.”

In related news, “NEC announced at the IFA 2005 in Berlin that the world’s first 5 1/4 inch HD DVD PC drive, the NEC HR-1100A, will be available this October.”

DVDs have barely become standard, but the next-gen media is already here.
