Topic: The Cowboy Bebop conundrum

CBTao bought the Cowboy Bebop DVD collection.

I bought the Cowboy Bebop DVD collection.

CBTao bought from a mall. He got every episode on 6 DVD's in a rectangular box. He paid ~$110 for it.

I imported through discountanimedvd.com. I got every episode at the same video quality with the same root menu and extra features on 3 DVD's in a trifold-case with the same artwork as the rectangular box on it. I paid $56 after S&H.


My question is: WHY?

Because Cloud, you are... a puppet.
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

No no no no.

WHY would they put the series on SIX DVD's when they could put it on three!?

Release schedule. They release it slowly, a bit at a time. Fans will buy each DVD as soon as it's out.

Later, they make the 3 DVD version. This is to appeal to those that don't want it enough to pay the price of the 6 disk version. (Also, I bet they are available ONLY as a set. If you lose/damage one, you're hosed.)

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

If his is a perfect sessions DVD box, that would be why. They're limited edition, meaning only a certain amount were made.

If that's not the case, then he got ripped off.

Unless my reading comprehension has plummeted beyond belief, the poster got the same content for fewer DVD's (and therefore a lower price). But the number of DVD's is not important, the content is. So if it's the same, I maintain that he got ripped.

I wish the perfect sessions were fewer DVD's honestly. I have a 5 dvd changer, but there's 6 dvd's, meaning a bebopathon is impossible as it must be turned off at some point to switch discs.

Besides, the last one has a description of Julia. Bah. Description of Vicious, on the other hand....
