R2 Dvd Announcement

[zantarous]

Seeing as the set is only three weeks away (and pay day has just been so I am all set) its a bit strange that there haven't been any reviews of the set on-line or in any mags. Don't these things generally start circulating a copule of weeks before the items hit the street?

i'm a little surprised it is rated 12 in uk.

The 12 classification is to be expected. The VHS cassette Volume 7 containing "Signs and Portents" and "TKO" was given a 12 classification. Every season in Babylon 5 contains at least one episode rated a 12.

In terms of its viewers, giving the series a 12 classification will probably help sales because it will discourage people from giving the CDs to children too young to understand it.

They aren't CDs, they're DVDs. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif This is not a trivial distinction, because there is a format called Video CD which actually does use standard CD discs and data files in its creation. DVD is a wholly different format, which just happens to come on discs the same size as CDs.
