Should have been MSRP and not MSP or manufacturer's suggested retail price.

Ok,that makes more sense now.The one I am currently waiting for is of course
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.From what I heard there are hopes that it will be the 'Haruhi' and not the 'Kyon' version that is released in the U.S.as the 'Haruhi'
is more according to how the episodes aired on the internet and in Japan while the
'Kyon' version has them in order.

They are going to release it in both non broadcast order and broadcast order.

Both broadcast order and non-broadcast order is going to be put on the Special edition dvd's.

The broadcast order will come sub only with english subtitles and will put as an extra starting with Volume 2 special edition dvd.

So, if you buy the Special edition. You will get both the non boradcast order which is how the Japan dvd's were done and get the broadcast order on which they aired on TV in Japan.

Wait, so, is Melancholy's entire 14-episode run available in one volume then?

Four DVDs of three episodes, though they could easily have had three of four instead. Right.

comes off as rather odd, though, because broadcast and episode order are all over the place, so volume 1 in episode order would have episodes 1-3, but volume 1 in broadcast order would have 1-2 and 11. The confusion would continue into later volumes as well.

Right now the only two I am focused on are Haruhi and Slayers.Though I think I will wait for the Haruhi rush to die down a bit before I try to even order or buy it.
I figure that there will be enough interest that they won't be running out of DVDs any time soon.

On June 19, 009-1 V1 is coming.

On July 3, there's a boxset of Gravion/Gravion Zwei.

Utawarerumono Volume 4 is headed for us on July 24. It said in the press release that it was TV-14-V. I know it gets more violent in the second half, but it's not THAT violent!
