I just ordered this from Warner Archives. Both parts. I am looking forward to it. Anyone else getting these sets?

I've bought two of the three Night Court seasons available (so far), and I have no problem with the picture quality of the sets.Carabimero said:I agree. I wonder if the people who like to dump on MOD have ever even bought a MOD set? I'm delighted to be able to see shows from these series that I thought I'd never own. There are far worse ways to spend hobby money, IMHO.
I've picked up a few MOD TV sets and movies from WB. The DVD-R for one of the Tarzan films was a bad burn and had to be replaced. The early attempt by WB to support dual layer DVD-R's didn't go well either and the product had to be pulled. So just like commercial pressed DVD-18's (dual sided-dual layer disks) and disk rot have been issues for some, so has the MOD approach been at times. So the potential issue is there for both approaches.Carabimero said:I agree. I wonder if the people who like to dump on MOD have ever even bought a MOD set?
It can also be a good money-making strategy for WB, because if the people who follow the Warner Archive releases know up-front that there will be an initial batch of 'pressed' copies, which will be replaced with MOD ones when supplies run out, that's a bigger incentive to pre-order (or order early) if they want the 'pressed' ones, rather than doing like I have done in the past and wait for one of their big sales. This way, they almost guarantee a lot of early buys and all at full-price.smithb said:I don't know whether it has been confirmed, but there was a discussion in another threadt hat indicated WB might now be doing an initial limited run of pressed disks with burned disks to follow when they run out. This seems like a logical approach since a limited run could cost less then burning individually on demand and better supports the initial list of pre-orders. Then going MOD means no extra cost/supply issues when demand doesn't keep up with expectations. The last season i received of Night Court appeared to be pressed as well.
