Really? Keep in mind that, I never thought of that as a fact, I just heard it from someone. I was told that Japanese anime DVD's had no more than 3 to 4 eps per disc, and were of cheap quality. I figured that atleast Japanese R2 DVD's would be cheaper than our own R1. Well either way, I live in Canada, and for any anime made from Bandai, I have to put out $39.95 Canadian atleast. So in terms of SEED, when it's all said and done, I'll have dished out over 400 bucks! ADV is $32.95 and everyone else ranges from 35.95 to 45.95, for ONE friggin anime DVD! Bottom line is, anime DVD's are still far too expensive, and if North American distro's wanna atleast try to phase out the use of fansubs, the first thing they can do is lower their prices a bit. I can get a new domestic R1 DVD for as low as $25.95 Canadian, anime distro's could atleast bring prices down to atleast $30.
