Back on the MSRP thing to back up Vicious. First you used an ADV site, if they set their MSRP at $29.98, would they want to sell it at a discount? If they sold it for $24.98, shouldn't that then be the MSRP? Go to DVD pacific or DDD, where you can find those discs for $17.99, the price of CDs in some Mall stores. :eek:
Second those disc don't have three episodes, the wedding peach one has 5 and the Blue Seed either has 6 or 7, didn't see which volume it was.
Further note, I bought the Blue Seed Perfect Collection at Best Buy for $39.95 2 years ago, it's even cheaper online.
You don't seem to be one to buy R1s. No offense, but you don't seem to understand it at all. Few more releases for you to ponder.
Any $30 from ADV can be bought for $18 online. Same goes for Bandai. Geneon/Pioneer goes for $20. Animeigo $25 go for $15. $90 perfect collections of ADV usually go for $60.
There are so many re-prices it's crazy. Escaflowne is now down to $15, and can be found for $8. Fancy Lala is down to $10 and can be found for $6.
So many releases don't follow the $30 for 4 episode format.
Bandai released budget releases of smaller series like Don't Leave me Alone Daisy, and Haunted Junction for $40 with 12 subbed episodes.
Funimation releases two disc sets of Dragon Ball with at least 15 episodes and sometimes as high as 20, uncut, for $39.95 (find it for $23).
The only two obscene series in my opinion were FLCL, and Armored Trooper VOTOMs. FLCL released by Synch Point, had 2 episodes on 3 discs at $30 each. In total it would cost you $60, no insane, but certainly no bargain. VOTOMs is a different story. 52 episodes, on 16 discs. Often 3 episodes to a disc. Of course this was by Nutech, before they did hentai, and replicated for CPM. The series is amazing and well worth the $30 a disc. I however bought a bundle on Right Stuf, for $90. 16 discs for $90. :p
I hate typing stuff that people won't bother to read, but I'll go into detail if Vicious needs to take a break for a few.
