Oh YES! *geek happy dance*

Maybe this is common knowledge already, but... One of my all time favorite american cartoons is comming out on DVD!

Now I can get rid of those crappy 30 meg realplayer episodes that are like watching an animated postage stamp... oh yes, yes...

*dancing around the room happily*

Now if a certain company would just get off it's arse and release Thundercats on DVD...

I'm so tempted to buy the fan-made set... just concerned about the quality of a show that old on a fan set...

Sweet. I've only gotten to see one or two Dilbert episodes.

You also reminded me to check on one of my other favorites, which is coming out shortly:

Man, between these two and the new Red Dwarf discs getting released, my wallet is really going to be hurting next month.

Odd, Dilbert has been out on DVD here for quite some time now.

Is that just a Region 2 thing then?

You europeans get a lot of shows on DVD earlier than we do, for some reason. I think it has to do with licensing issues, but I'm not sure.

I've actually considered buying a cheap R2 DVD player just to be able to get some stuff earlier from you guys.

Why wouldn't you just buy a multiregional DVD player? I mean,
do they even *sell* those non-multi ones anymore?

Or you could just 'crack' your DVD player.

My DVD player is a really really expensive Sony multidisk player... I don't feel like taking the chance of cracking it (Or voiding the 3 year warenty of which I still have two years left).

And most DVD players bought in the store over here are region-locked... I think non region locked ones are technicly illegal or something. Not sure on that though. I know you won't find any in walmart or best buy (That I have seen anyhow).

Region free DVDs are certainly legal so don't feel that you're doing something naughty just because you might happen to own one or two. The big studios like using the region codes, mainly to keep one country's customers from importing DVDs from another. Japan is especially keen on importing foreign DVDs, from what I hear.

I've been told that the Apex brand, which is often found at Wal-Mart, doesn't have the regional encoding. I haven't seen it for myself, though.
