assuming you have a multi-region DVD player i imagine you could buy via Amazon or, if they ship directly from CN, then EBay.

As a UK resident, I hear you all on the whole Region 1 superiority issue, though to be fair, it's hardly just Cartoon Network that does it; frankly, I find the whole DVD region encoding business to be a massive slap in the face to overseas consumers and, indeed, the very notion of free trade.

I mean, I do have a multi-region player at home, and there are still ways that I will be able to import it, but it's still a royal pain in the backside to have to go through all that rigmarole for a disc I'll only be able to use with one of my players at home, when I know that I really ought to be able to just go to a shop and buy it, no hassle.

Still, Foster's on DVD and all that...I'm mostly just looking forward to having ultra-high quality copies of the episodes that I can watch on my TV instead of my computer, without CN banners or annoying yammering over the end credits. The extras should be nice too, though; I hope we'll see at least some behind-the-scenes stuff from Craig and co.

PS. By the way, Sparky - had you considered overhauling your Season One screengrabs section when the DVD comes out? Don't get me wrong - I'm certainly not requesting you do this, or even suggesting that you should feel you need to; it would be a lot of unnecessary work on your part, and the screengrabs you've got are great as they are, and are a fantastic resource for Foster's fans.

It just struck me that DVD-standard fidelity (minus on-screen logos and banners), combined with the superior software on your new computer, would make for some very high-quality screengrabs, so I was just wondering if you'd thought about the idea.

Yes. You may not have noticed, but I redid a couple episodes from Season One a few months ago (going from small galleries to 100+ ones) but I stopped when I realised that I just have to do it again when the DVDs came out.

It may say it's in stock in the shop, but when I tried to order it it said it was sold out.

So its either really sold out - or they let you order it, saying you'll get it when they restock, and then you get it when its actually released.

A huge disadvantage to trying to order from the CN Shop is that any checks, money orders, or even debit or check cards are prohibited. Yay.

I had a thought today: what about those pre-paid VISA cards you can get now? Maybe those would work?

Anyone have Netflix? If so, does this show up on DVDs you can add to your que?

Nope. The only time I used Netflix was for a free trial subscription.

I feel bad for those who don't live in the US. The "this item can't be shipped outside the US" thing is annyoing to me, even though I live in the US.

Invader Bloo · 01-13-2007, 06:34 PM

Me too, but you guys canbuy the DVDs from Ebay. Unlike everything else, DVDs are usually retail price plus nshipping.
