LMFAO Well heres the thing the single ones just take up more space the story simply put is that the thinpaks are the SAME as the originals they just cost a lot less and come in smaller boxes. The trading part I can't help you with but I kinda doubt it's the same due to the actual value of a set by the time it's released like that.

The thinpack set costs less and it looks cooler. I thinkpak all my regular R1 dvds almost so i'm definitely not the guy to ask this to lol.

Let me knowThe box art of the R1 thin pack looks cooler, but I myself really do not care for thin packs; I think they look odd. I really wouldn't know, but I'm sure the two are worth about the same.

Close but the originals for whatever reason still sell for more than the thinpaks even without a box.

ADV is the only company I know of that releases them and they wait at least a year after the original dub if I am correct. But someone else would have to verify that...Also most store that sell anime...

i was told yesterday that the thin pack for rahxephon and most anime have way less special features. Does that make any sense or do you think they are just dumb they said you could play games on the first set but not the second and stuff

They have the same special features/extras as the originals. They just put the original disks into the thinpacked package (cases+box) and make it cheaper. They can't really take out special features because that is just dumb. You might lose the reversible covers and such like that, but that isn't a big deal in my opinion. You'll still have the character sketches, interviews, commentaries, etc.

Ya it wouldn't make sense to change the discs when they already have everything done and ready to just change cases with. Thinpaks are cheaper not only because they release all at once but also because they are easier to make. They are packaged pretty much entirely by machines whereas people still do a lotta the packing on regular dvd cases.
I dunno about elsewhere but best buy around here seems to be picking up a few sets like rahxephon and fmp and selling them for about $50. It's pretty cheap and they look really nice.
