Well . . . I'm going to live with it. At least I'll be able to watch the show. Hey. Where do you think it's better to buy all the episodes, iTunes or Amazon?

*CyberCubed* · 11-29-2012, 07:37 PM

Well I guess I'll pass on this, shame I got excited.

Fullscreen and possibly only 3-5 eps on disc? So not only do we get an inferior aspect ratio with footage cut off, but again its only a few measly episodes per disc based on the UK info.

Is it really THAT hard for a company to put out competent TMNT DVDs? I swear, we've never had a truly good release out of any of the cartoons so far.

Gyt Kaliba · 11-29-2012, 07:46 PM

I can deal with fullscreen if I have to (though I'd prefer it to be widescreen since that's how it is on TV, but it wouldn't be the first time I had to make do with a different format - in the reverse actually, from fullscreen to widescreen), that part won't be a dealbreaker for me. But if it's only a few episodes, I'll likely have to hold out until a bigger set is done.

*Bauer536* · 11-29-2012, 08:07 PM

Well, tell me. Do you think I should've gotten the season pass before hand? I thought about it, but it seemed expensive.

I'd say iTunes if you plan to buy in HD. Although their filesizes are sorta big, the quality is much better than Amazon.

Yep... Future Shellshock (named for the "pilot") and Day of Awakening (named for the episode.)

Going off of the fifteen buck SRP, I would have assumed the set would be the first thirteen episodes, but if the Amazon listing's run time is correct, it's no more than five episodes. Hopefully that's incorrect, and it turns out to be the first half of season one.

As for the bit about it being full screen. Considering how little info the Amazon listing has, I wouldn't take that as absolute fact just yet. The little info they have could be wrong for all we know. That and I've been seeing the episodes in full screen anyways, so it wouldn't lessen them for me. However I wouldn't object to the DVD having the widescreen versions of them.

Luke795 · 11-30-2012, 05:00 PM

6 episodes.

Holding out for a full season Blu-Ray set (in widescreen) but I'm optimistic that they're at least putting some special features on the disc.

Gyt Kaliba · 11-30-2012, 05:05 PM

Ack, can't say I'm a fan of the supposed cover art on this new link. I liked the other one better, between the two.

And at only 6 episodes...gah. I really want to support this, but I dunno if I can swing $15 for such a low episode count. Maybe if my local Wal-mart gets it and marks it down lower, but...

*CyberCubed* · 11-30-2012, 05:07 PM

Only 6 episodes, ugh another TMNT DVD ruined. Absolute garbage. Does Nick have no respect for their own show?

*ToTheNines* · 11-30-2012, 05:15 PM

Drama queen.

*CyberCubed* · 11-30-2012, 05:18 PM

This doesn't matter now since the episode count of the series is so low, but as it continues its going to be the same problem as the 4kids DVDs.

With 26 episode seasons and only 6 per disc we're going to have to collect multiple DVDs again and it'll get ridiculous when we hit Seasons 2 and 3.

The 4kids DVDs are a perfect reminder of how much a disaster this will turn into in time. And we don't even know if it'll get a blu ray release either.

I can understand how this upsets you, but I don't want you to look at Nickelodeon like they're dirtbags.

Honestly, 6 episodes is better than I expected. I thought it was going to be 5. It's possible we'll get the best ones on here. Maybe it will be "Rise of the Turtles" through "Metalhead." That's good enough right now.

Or maybe even better: We get "Rise of the Turtles" and some of the selected fan favorites: "New Friend, Old Enemy," "I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman," "Metalhead," and "Never Say Xever" (or the "The Gauntlet").

Plus, while this show is a hit, it's not a future classic hit like The Last Airbender became. Think about it. The Last Airbender's first DVD's were individual before complete season sets were released (and the show was already ending at that point). So this doesn't completely bother me.

Let's just be glad a DVD is released.

*Donatello19* · 11-30-2012, 05:20 PM

I think 15 bucks is a little too much for just 6 episodes...especially since I have ALL the episodes saved on my DVR anyway. I'll wait until they (hopefully) release a complete season 1 set. Also, that cover art is horrible. They couldn't have used something better?

*Bauer536* · 11-30-2012, 05:24 PM

Guys. The cover art is provisional. If you go onto the link, it says it's not the final design.

Gyt Kaliba · 11-30-2012, 05:27 PM

I know it's provisional, but between it and the other provisional artwork from Amazon, I prefer Amazon's picture. That's all.

And yeah, I'm happy we're getting it on DVD at all, but one does have to be frugal with their money too, you know? It's all about getting the most for your buck.

Also, no offense, but ack at your idea of a 'best of' single. I'd much rather get the episodes in order. It makes for better marathon watching.

*The Stryker* · 11-30-2012, 05:30 PM

Buying dvds is stupid anyway for shows like this.

Just go digital. It's in HD, the correct order and it won't take up shelf space. It's no surprise most companies just sh*t out cartoon dvds. NOBODY buys them, season set or no.

Gyt Kaliba · 11-30-2012, 05:43 PM

I for one would much rather have a physical product, and the day a product is available in only a digital format, that's when they literally will never get my buy. I really hope I don't live to see the day that physical formats are completely dead.

But yeah, I'm one of those people that much prefers to have a show on my shelf, than on my computer. Then I have a nice case, I can lend it to friends, I can watch it on my TV - way more convenient for me.
