That's pretty sweet.
I expected it to be more like thousands, as DVD players and CD players were when they were the new tech.Originally posted by Julianna Rose OfficialNote

the HD VMD format was designed from the beginning to be low cost. It doesn't have some of the features of the other formats (audio quality)
It is targeted at the family on a budget. I don't think it will take off in (in the US at least) I've only seen 17 titles available for it other than Lazytown.

Of course. I remember hearing that now that you've said it.Originally posted by lost4ever
Still, I think $350 is faptastic value for hi-def LazyTown, even if that's all you ever get for it.
Plus it plays DVDs, right? So it's not like you'll only ever use it for those 6 discs.
Also, I just did some research and found out that they've got the rights to release the entire first season.
So, assuming they don't go bankrupt before they finish, that'll rule.Originally posted by Julianna Rose OfficialNote

Too bad they didn't include the high end player in the bundle, the one with the USB ports and everything. You should totally buy one of those and give the original away to someone, because WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU TO RIP THAT SHIT FOR US! IT'S STEPHER TIMELossless trance collection. (Work in progress)

Yes it does play DVDs, which is what influenced my purchase. My current DVD player is ancient and needs replacing but I haven't wanted to buy a new one until the HD format wars ended. But as it seems that Blu-ray may be coming out ahead that would mean my huge collection of DVDs would be obsolete unless I got another regular DVD player OR payed out $1300 bucks for the upcoming dual laser drive. So I figured if I'm replacing my DVD player I might as well get one with something extra then I could buy a Blu-ray and not worry about my old DVD collection.Originally posted by Ultra Magnus
Actually according to the specs this bundle does include the high end version. Unfortunately I believe the USB ports are input only. But don't worry, "there's always a way."Originally posted by Mr_Gazpacho

I am rather intrigued. When you get this in the mail, you'll be sure to stop by the IRC chat so we can poke and prod questions out of you, right?Note

<<<<<<DENIED!>>>>>>
I got this email today from nme. On the plus side they did offer to send me the Lazytown episodes for free (if they become available in the US) if I bought a player now. However I decided on a refund. I will wait and see what the market does.Thank you for your Lazy Town HDVMD Bundle Box order.
We have the rights for Lazy Town for the United Kingdom, Iceland and Scandinavia but do not have the rights for the USA yet. Therefore we regret to inform you that at the moment we can not supply Lazy Town directly to you in the USA.
they have also now added a disclaimer on their site saying US customers cannot buy this.

That sucks.
It seems that MagnΓΊs was really taken for a sucker when he signed with Viacom for the US market.
I wonder if they made him sign in his own blood?Originally posted by Julianna Rose OfficialNote
