looks great.

Anyone watch SilverHawks? that show was cool ass hell.

Como estas Froy.

they should release:

Gaiking, Spaceketeers(Starzinger), Captain Future, Steel Jeeg, Magnetorobo Ga-Keen, Captain harlock, Space Legend Ulysses 31, The Queen of a Thousand Years, Space Cruiser Yamato, Candy Candy, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and all those other old robot stuff.

Unless i'm mistaken X1 was released August 14, 2001. X1.5 came out February 11, 2003. Not exactly a few months, but still not much better. That is another clear example of double-dipping at its worst. I don't buy the argument 'well other studios do it so why blame us' line. i argue that it is possible for a company (particularly an anime company. i mean come on how much more grass-roots can you get) to work with their fan base and to release the best possible product.

Actually, X-Men came out on DVD, in the US, before Christmas of 2000, so it was 2 and a quarter to two and a half years between the releases.

It's also been over 2 years since the first 2 Robotech DVD's came out.

I hope that they don't change the OB1 vs Vader fight into CGI, and just leave it as it is.

Let's all play with Ragdolls.

I think Kill Bill is the best movie of the year so far, Quentin Tarantino is a Genious.

Some of these issues were discussed in the chat room last night:

Back in 2001, Carl Macek had overseen the process of producing the Robotech DVDs because he obviously had the most experience with the source material. The 1985 broadcast masters were originally thought to be the last and best source material for Robotech remaining because a flood in Hollywood had destroyed a lot of the materials used in the production of Robotech years ago, such as discrete audio tracks. EDL data, used to edit the broadcast version had also since been lost.

However, two discoveries were made by Harmony Gold's archivist Andre Alas that made the remastering of Robotech possible. First, the original film reels of the Japanese animation were found to have been stored off site in a climate controlled vault. These turned out to actually be in better shape today than the masters provided by Tatsunoko Productions in Japan, making the new remastered versions of the Japanese series possible. We had actually asked Shin Kurokawa, who had overseen the restoration of the Macross footage about the possibility of restoring Robotech from this material, but he conceded that such a project would be a nightmare. (note that Robotech comprises about 35 hours of material over 85 episodes)

Then a new discovery was made more recently: a duplicate set of four-track audio tapes that contained the discrete voice, effects and music tracks of the episodes were found to have also been stored off-site. Ahmed Agrama, the original executive producer, and Intersound, the post-production facility, concluded that enough materials had become present to make such a project possible - in fact, we're still working on the Robotech Masters segment right now.

All of the above, plus the clamoring of fans for subtitle tracks for the hearing impaired, Spanish tracks for Latin-American fans, and 5.1 surround audio remix capabilities by the original post-production studio, convinced us to move forward with this new 2004 release, which will also help to reach out to new fans of anime today.

Protoculture doesn't taste so bad after all!

the fact that this come with spanish dub, makes it all worth it, so I can finally see them again, like I originally watched them.

2001: A Space Odyssey.

It turns out it was the king of all bad sci-fi films, indeed of all bad movie-kind. Their lord. The single template from which all other bad films were wrought.

How do you figure that one?

When the most exciting part of the whole movie is a monkey smashing things with a bone.

Lets also not forget the repair scene...

*shudder*

One of Kubrick's darkest hours. Then again, I don't like Kubrick. That said, I'd rather watch Robot Jox 3 times in a row than 2001 once.

Hehe, the trailers on Robot Jox are the best.

The Arena.... I wanna see that movie just so I can see how that guy's head catches on fire. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

dang, I feel sorry for you, missing the message on such a fantastic movie.

First they bitch cause the quality of the DVD's suck, now they bitch because they are gonna remaster them.

I guess people will always eat cheese.

I don't get the bitching, if you don't want to pay more then don't, easy as that.

Yes, I would of been ALOT better if they did this to begin with, but they didn't no point in crying about it now.

Better to have the option, than none at all.

awesome, altought I alread own the first dvd's I can't pass on this one.

holy sh!t it also come dubbed in spanish? amazing!

Any Star Trek or BF Earth.

No, I alredy bought the regular version like a month ago.

well, as cool as it is, I'll never spend $150 on a toy.

just awesome.

Any info on when it will be released and price?

I got a Question, I need to upgrade my Video Card this Xmas, and I have $200 to blow on it, should I get an ATI Radeon 9700 128mb(non-pro) or a G-Force FX 9700 Ultra 128mb ? they are both worth about $200. But still unsure which one to pick.

ATI is still pretty much on top at the moment, but Nvidia's offerings are nothing to sneeze at. According to Pricewatch.com, a Radeon 9800SE w/128 from Sapphire Technology can be had for $155 w/ free FedEx shipping at Newegg.com.

Sapphire makes good, stable, reliable cards. The 9800 is clocked slightly higher than the 9700 and uses slightly faster RAM. I don't know what you'll be able to find locally, so perhaps there is a place that might have a better deal. If I were to upgrade from my GF4 Ti4400, I'd more than likely get at least a 9800.

Sapphire's Product page

I'll probably end up buying something from newegg.com, I usually buy from them.

So you saying the Radeon 9800 SE w/128mb is better than the 9700 128mb(non-pro)?
