Looking over the new releases for 2004 I found a lot of titles being re-released as "Geneon Signature Series". What exactly are those?

As near As I can tell, they are Geneon (formally Pioneer) re-releasing some of their titles with the Signature Series stamped across the top. I think that are same as the disks from before, but retail for $19.99.

Geneon is just trying to get name recognition from people who donn't realize that they're pioneer. Thats my take on it anyway, and I must add that i hate the signature series look. I'm like, "yes i'd love a dvd that looks like a ps2 greatest hits disk, thanks. Oh and you say its the same price as before? Even better!"

Actually it's cheaper. At Suncoast the list price on an anime DVD is $29.99 and the Signature series are listed at $19.99.
Also on online retailers (eg. Right Stuf and Anime Corner Store) It is cheaper. At Right Stuf the list price for Akira is $22.48 for the original copy. The newly released Geneon Signature series are listed at $17.98. At Anime Corner Store the 5.1 DTS Edition of Akira is $19.98 and the Signature version is $14.98. Everywhere these copies are held I'm pretty sure they are cheaper than the original release versions. |

In short, they're older pioneer titles with a cheaper price and an ugly red bar stamped at the top.
Solution: Wait for the prices to take effect, then try and get a copy of the DVD without the red bar before they're gone. That's what I'll try to do with the last three volumes of "Trigun". :) |

Thats cool I didn't realize that Suncoast and other vendors had marked down their prices for Signature series disks. I had just made a trip by Best Buy and they have roughly all their anime priced at 19.99 including signature series dvds. |

I'm just waiting for them to slash prices on X. If it ain't this year, it's gotta be next year.
