The Champloo item you saw that say's "Collector's" is probably the Vol.1 + box. And the other one that says (Sub) next to it looks like Vol.2, which is due in March.

The X (TV) ones you saw (this and this one) look to be the same half box sets you saw at Best Buy, which is way too much for $100 a piece.

What do the new boxes look like? I can't seem to find any pictures, and my Best Buy never releases stuff early.

I think the "Sub" title next to it just means it has subtitles. I don't know, since I've never ordered from them, but yeah, that could be what they mean. I'm pretty sure that's the half box set, though. Happy viewing!

Yeah, that should just be the same old R1 DVDs repackaged, but benbboy. A description. Please.

Samurai Champloo - Volume 1 DVD
Samurai Champloo - Volume 2 (Sub) <--basically it's not released yet, not until march 2005, so amaozn doesn't have the full detail. It should contain both sub and dub.

Samurai Champloo - Volume 1 + Series Box
Remember, this only comes with the first dvd.

Actually that looks to be about right - the single DVD's for X go for about 22-24$ and once you scale that up to four DVDs you are sitting right at paying full price for the box set.

Hm, yeah, well, I'd rather pay less since I'm a bit of a cheapstake, but OK, I guess that does sound better than the SRP. Razz I don't see it for sale on Deep Discount DVD yet, so for those of you who might be picking these half boxes up, you might want to wait a little bit, first. I'm sure they'll probably be around the same price, or maybe even cheaper.

Cool, thanks for the info. All that I needed was DVD 7 and 8 to finish the series. Can't say that I'm not going to glad to be done buying that series - most of the ones I buy now are $16-18 new in the local stores. The most expensive is Last Exile which still isn't too bad compared to X.

Deep Discount DVD sells ALL LEGIT MERCHANDISE. They also offer free shipping, which is great if you're in no hurry, but it can take up to about a week to get your stuff.

Yes, they are very dependable, and I recommend you give them a try. Their prices are just about the best around, and they also have a pretty good selection. Good luck!
