I really think the good to honest compromise here would be for Anime distrubutors to invest in more boxsets like the nadesico one. At least then you can reach a market that isn't willing/able to fork out for the whole series individually. For example releasing the boxset a month or so after all the volumes have come out. That way the people who want their anime NOW and are willing to pay get it. And those that cant afford it aren't completely left out in the cold and aren't taken in by the allure of HK's so much

That Nadesico boxset is even cheaper here in the US. We can get it for around $50. there are quite a few of those 'brick' boxsets out here.

The reason the companies don't release them right away is because they are still making money on the individual volumes. they try to get what they can out of those first. And then when sales slow down, they release the 'bricks'. You have to wait about a year until after the last DVD has been released. That's the price you pay if you want to save some money.
