The UMD version will look better because it can use the full screen but it won't take too many DVD-only purchases before the Memory Stick is paid for in savings.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/

Unlike US release of anime dvds, which usually has 3-5 eps a disk say going for $24-29.

The Japanese equivalent would be around the same price but about 1-2 eps a disk.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/
I can't remember the last time I watched a movie by myself. I must have been very lonely. (And I can't imagine ever watching a movie on a little screen IN PUBLIC by myself. Geez, I'd really be a loser then.)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/18/bandai-bundling-dvd-and-umd-in-the-same-package/
They release the 1-2 episode disks first to make money off the video rental stores, then they release a compilation set later on if the show was popular. Often fans will buy it all over again to get the box set goodies.

There are exceptions, like FLCL, but even that will eventually be collected in a decent set, it just might take a few more years for Gainax to make it happen.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:13AM
