They did in the Wonder Woman sets. It's either a lot of episodes for a single sided disc, or it's flippers.Jack P said:Second, I think the notion that the DVD is going to be "double-sided" is also ridiculous..... Warner has never done it for TV releases.
I'm not cancelling my pre-order for the Blu-Ray set, but I am disappointed in the packaging. Very, very disappointed.Ronald Epstein said:So let me get this straight...
I wake up this morning to find out that you have to buy an expensive
box of junk to get these episodes.
This is why the set should have fallen in Fox's hands.
I will wait for the eventual release of just the discs. It may take another
year, but at least that will represent what should have been released.
The Wonder Woman release was over a decade ago. What *recent* release by any studio went this route? Plus, you seem to have forgotten that a flipper can't have artwork on the disc surface and the pictures we've seen already show otherwise.I'm all for criticizing when its based on factual information (The lousy bonuses) but when its based on paranoid speculation, that's when I think it's going too far.They did in the Wonder Woman sets.

Good point about the disc artwork.The Wonder Woman release was over a decade ago. What *recent* release by any studio went this route? Plus, you seem to have forgotten that a flipper can't have artwork on the disc surface and the pictures we've seen already show otherwise.
"Paranoid".Jack P said:I'm all for criticizing when its based on factual information (The lousy bonuses) but when its based on paranoid speculation, that's when I think it's going too far.
Show me one studio that has used flippers in this decade starting in 2010. Don't give me releases from 12 years ago. At this stage, worrying about flippers is like worrying that the studio is only going to release on VHS."Paranoid". My suspicion about the nature of the discs is simply that the distribution of the episodes made me suspect it, and that it would offer a way to maximise the bitrates by having four on a dual-layer side and two on a single layer side.

Well, unless the sales are truly dismal, I'd say the chances of individual S2 & S3 are pretty high, as the work has already been done and the discs made (for the complete sets). That's a head start you don't get with most series.Nebiroth said:Also willing to bet that the $39.95 seaon set will be going for $20 or less on amazon within three months. The only issue I have is that there's no guarantee of a season two and three. depends on the sale snumbers for the complete set and season one I guess.
