So I just picked up the DVD (which hit stores yesterday (19th)) and I gotta say... Amazing released.
I kinda wanna break it down and just sit in aww that they were able to give us such a great release. This is something all DVDs should try to live up too. I mean this isn't the GREATEST DVD ever released, but it is damn great for a 9 episode season which coulda just got a Veronica Mars season 1 release.
Package:
We are given what I like to call a standard DVD case (which most DVD movies are released in, you know the one). Now I don't mind this as a release, it is clean and the box doesn't get trashed (looks at buffy releases...) but what I really like is it has a little slip cover to fit in with other boxsets. Much like Bionic Woman and Birds of Prey, which I really enjoy and would love more DVDs released in this similar format. The outer slip cover is a shiney metalic look. The cover features Sarah and John, while the back features the famous Cameron bust-shot.
Special Features:
We get a slew of features here, which is a nice change from WBs. They put ALOT of effort into this, and it really shows. We get 3 commentaries (all which are very insightful.) We get actors in all of them and I love when actors pitch in, it gives SOOO much more to commentaries when you can reconize the voices.
The behind the features stuff is also great, look on how the episodes were built and how the series was put together. A great set and beats out other season 1 sets we've gotten (once again I bash veronica mars...)
Discs Art:
This is a bit small, but... many may notice WB has a standard for their disc art. Smallville, Veronica Mars, Supernatural, Birds of Prey... Half a promo shot, the other half a generic texture/color and series logo. Here we get a new design of the character in some cool action shot on a silver-backdrop. Giving it a much more futureistic look (much of the box set is in this similar style)
Okay, enough loving this set. I am just glad we were given a REAL release and not a just a "push it out in time for season 2". So go buy the set. I got it for $25.00. You may pay up to $30.00, but I doubt you'll get higher then that.
