Fox gets last laugh - Page 2

Wow. That is a really rude website. Where's the "F You" selection on that completely pointless drop-down list?

If I had any of the Simpson's box sets, I'd like them to match, too. They're a SET, for goshdarnsakes! If they want to pump up sales by putting it in a hollowed out human head, good for them, but why make fun of the people who dislike such packaging?

I'd also like to see the Star Trek sets come out in a regular box (you know, one that doesn't make me think I'm paying extra for packaging). I like slim cases (I like saving space!), but I don't like the kind that have multiple discs in a "folder-like" thing (e.g., Alias Season 3). I don't like the cases that are as difficult to refold as a road map (e.g., Rocky & Bullwinkle Season 1). I don't like packaging that breaks when I accidentally step on it at HTHBellcaptain's house (e.g., Enterprise Season 1). I don't know what to do with DVD's that come in tins (e.g., Disney Treasures)--I can't just throw the tin away, but they won't stand on their end, I have to take them off the shelf to see what they are, and they take up extra room. (Hey, I also hated that my copy of "Achtung Baby" didn't come in a plastic CD case.)

Anal-retentive? Not me.

We solved the packaging problem a little while ago. We purchased a 400-disc carousel DVD player . Now ALL of our movies and TV shows (did you know The Tick is available on DVD?) are all in one place.

Sounds like a cool machine. But how can I pick only 400...?

Perhaps they can be networked?
