The offical season 1 vhs/dvd reviews, opinions.. post here!

~~Turtledude2k3~~ · 04-20-2004, 10:49 AM

Well today is the day everyone has been waiting for. This morning, I walked to walmart first and they had the vhs verison of season 1 and it contains all 5 episodes. The dvd version wasn't there yet. I went over to HMV and they had the dvd for a cheap price of 19.99. i guess it a sale or something. (I live in canada). As soon I got to work, I took off the seal and there was this box thingy instead of the dvd, so I tore open the side of it and opened it and there was a dvd cover.

Why was this a box? It's cool though. I haven't watched it yet but I will when I get home or after I eat lunch or something.

It may be in a box (aka slip case) because 1) it looks cool, 2) lots of TV shows that have multiple seaons released are in cool boxes or slip cases.

I haven't watched mine yet either. Maybe tonight if I get enough studying done.

It's cool. yes indeed. it's just weird to see it. hehe..

Well, I've just finished watching the original 5 episodes. The video quality wasn't exactly perfect, but it was better then the tapes, with just some scratches on the film, but I suspect that's the actual negative and not the transfer. The colours were vibrant though, and sound was pretty good.

The episodes were as good as when I last saw them

I would have liked a few more extra's, like maybe an interview with Laird, but I can deal with just 4 extra episodes.

DVD transfer: 4/5
Episodes: 5/5

Best buiy had them for.... you'll kick yourself for going to HMV... $10.99....

Now, I didn't get the DVD, AS I'm strapped at the moment, and I'm gonna have to wait till my birthday. But the cover looked very very good.

*Taloniss* · 04-20-2004, 11:25 AM

I just watched one of the season 10 episodes, and, it was pretty good! I may actually have to stop being lazy and watch the rest of my red sky episodes

EDIT: I thought Dregg's voice seemed familiar, so I looked it up, Turns out he was the Elder God in the Soul Reaver games. Cool

Are you serious that Best Buy had the dvd for 10.99? Cause I was just at the mall and looked in four different retailers and they all had it for 19.99 which is what I paid for it at HMV aswell. Or are you in the U.S, cause I'm in canada. Weird thing though that walmart only had the VHS version!

~~Turtledude2k3~~ · 04-20-2004, 11:38 AM

I live in Canada too. I got it at hmv like you did. I guess the walmart people didn't get their dvd yet. Oh well. I got my dvd so I am happy! My friend only has a vcr so the vhs will be good for him.

*DrSpengler* · 04-20-2004, 11:48 AM

With my employee discount at Suncoast I got mine today for $5.08.

Sorry... hehe hehh.... must cost more there for some reason... maybe becauser of the international monitary system....

I was pretty much panicing because I could not find the thing, but then I found several copies on a large case, yet to be put away. 10.99 is a great price, but I swear... 5.08? I paid more for an old FHE video I had to return than that. Great job.

Yup those are the new show lyrics. Maybe trying to get more people to buy it that are familiar with the new show.

**Jester** · 04-20-2004, 12:16 PM

weird....but maybe more effective...maybe the next dvd will have 3 and 4...ha

Mobius One · 04-20-2004, 12:19 PM

I ordered mine off of Amazon.com two days ago, so HOPEFULLY it will be here soon, because I have been watching the Epic Begins for so long and I forget what was cut out of the episodes.

Yeah it's just wrong that they even did that with the Epic Begins in the first place. At least the uncut versions are finally out.

I bought mine last nite at midnight at Wal-Mart. DVD version. $9.99 US.

Eidiot88 · 04-20-2004, 01:05 PM

I got over to Best Buy at 11am and flipped when it was only 11 bucks I was figuering 15-17 since all sites said 15. I watched the first three episodes and stopped, my brother wanted to watch them to so I can wait till he gets back. Even though I have seen these episodes a million times it is still great. They put those lyrics from the new show on the back so it can be like a "before there was the new, there was the old" kind of thing.
