those discs had better be made with gold leaf lables or something.

or at least some kickass extra goodies. seriously, you buy boxsets because you want to save money, not spend more; so what sense is there in charging that much for it?

Personally I'm hoping for Fuu. |

I had a feeling that if Geneon did a box set for Samurai Champloo it'd be a little more expensive than ADV's average box set but $200? Jeez... Don't see myself buying that any time soon.

Yeah, this is asinine - Geneon really needs to learn how to set better price points. Isn't Trigun still something like $150-200, while most box sets coming out these days are $100 or less?
Ridiculous. I was planning on buying the box, but like ThirdWizard unless it comes with Fuu, I'll pass... |

That seems pretty typical to me for a Geneon boxed set...if you consider the MSRP for Vol 1 + Box and 6 more discs, you get $40 + 6 * $30 = $220, so $200 is saving money. Plus, you know it'll show up for $150-$160 at Best Buy or online stores. I passed on buying Samurai Champloo originally because the Vol 1 + Box was nowhere to be found at the time, but I might consider it now. And since it's Geneon, the discs will have the original extras, unlike the cheaper, stripped-down ADV thinpacks, so that's part of the dollar value right there. (Maybe a different artbox, like with the Haibane Renmei re-release, but no big deal there.)
Now, if only they'd release a nice 8-disc thinpack of Ai yori aoshi + Enishi like they did with Mahoromatic... |

Just think how many ADV thinpacks you could get instead!
$200 can buy alot of anime. |

that's why I make it a point to always buy my Geneon and Bandai DVDs as they come out, their boxsets are always more pricey. I stopped buying ADV's individual discs because the box comes out like a month later for 1/2 the price

This reminds me why I haven't seen Last Exile and Trigun.
Geneon charges up the ass for DVDs. |

Well, If I had the $200+ to spend on the Samurai Champloo DVDs I would but I dont. Its definitely a series I love and I would like to support the official release but I just cant. J B |

So because you're broke somehow gave you the right to break the forum rules?
Sorry pal, I don't see how that one works out. |
