The Clone Wars on DVD
I may have had my doubts about The Clone Wars, but now I'm just pissed.
Rumors were going around that the Season 1 DVD was going to be released in March. Turns out its true (March 24th)...only its not season 1.
ITS ONLY THE FIRST 4 KARKING EPISODES....
and get this...
its going to retail for $20. YES....$5 PER EPISODE.
That's almost the cost of the entire first season on iTunes. And wth...they're going to be marketing this DISC by DISC? With the next 4 episodes this summer? This is just entirely aggravating and actually pisses me off. The box art is total crap too, just like the feature film.
Looks like I'll be waiting until the end of '09 to buy the WHOLE first season as a set.
They're also marketing it as a "hit" (LMAO) series caliming that people "just can't wait" for their "favorite episodes on DVD." (Their favorites are just the first 4?) These guys are startign to sound as ignorant as the Bush administration.
di'kutla Lucas.

I'm not gonna buy it. I bought the CW movie already. Maybe when it's very very cheap. The kids 'll like 'em...

Ambush is the only good episode on that disc. One episode is not worth $20 when I have to buy it again with the whole first season a few months later....you know...with other episodes I actually like.
If I get desperate, I'll grab it from Netflix.
Then I can finally watch them in HD

As I said in the other thread that popped up, that's stupid. They should just wait and release the first season on DVD, like every other television show...

Yeah, just hide and wait till it's all over. Personally I hope the sales bomb dramatically.

Seconded.
Though, this will not be the first SW DVD I didn't buy.

At the sight of the news, I finally experience the pain Dooku must have felt when Anakin sliced his hands and head off...

I'm more of the scream "NOOOOOOOO," have my face melt off, then plummet down a seemingly bottomless shaft.

I bought almost every single one, except for the new OT, PT packages, which somehow I'm inclined to buy at least one of them
... besides everything else, I didn't own AOTC... until I bought a few weeks ago with the TCW DVD
back on topic:
Yeah, this DVD sucks...

It is kind of how they did the DVDs for *shudder* Hannah Montana. Several 4 or 5 episode disc releases for a year or two before Season One was given a full release as a box set.

Least we we get a good idea of the demographic Lucas is targeting.

I did not buy the new versions released a few months ago. I was told they offered no new bonus material to them.

Just a handful episodes on a DVD... it's a crying shame.

It really is sad they could not put more on the DVD. It is Hannah Montana all over again.
