Didn't know Durarara!! had extra DVD episodes, are they proper ones or cheap put together ones do you know?
Well for those few customer that has a TV or DVD player that can't handle NTSC. I agree it would be better to use NTSC version as it will save a lot of money and I can't see many people not unable to run them as most experiment now can run NTSC.
Ignoring the debate entirely and with no plan to enter it, I just want to say I'll be buying it on day one and thank you to Beez.
There'll no doubt be cheaper releases down the line for those who don't see the show without a dub as being worth the asking price, and that's fine - it's a rational standpoint to take if the show isn't worth that much to you. Having seen (R1) Baccano and loved it, I am perfectly happy to throw Gurren Lagann level money at its spiritual successor through online vendors (or possibly in the Beez shop, with Unicorn v2, hint hint
).
I want to encourage the UK in finally getting some timely releases and I have money. It's exciting to me to see the UK emerging as a more interesting market, after all these years of having to import everything I watch because by the time our version is out the imports are almost free. Beez has been experimenting with all kinds of formats lately and I approve of the results if it means I get to watch Durarara!! sooner than expected.

There's only 1 extra DVD episode? so its 2 episodes shorter than TTGL as that had 27 episodes. Never watched TTGL but it could be good recap episode
. There was interesting recap episode with eureka seven which gave you new information on the story events.1 anounced so far on disk 7 (between eps 12 and 13). It'll have a disk that only has 1 ep on it if if doesn't have another and keeps to having 2 eps on each disk. Only know whats on the disks up to 10 (ep 19) so far.
TTGL has a mid season recap ep. I belive of the we're behind scedule need to fill this airing slot variety. I know there are a few good ones about, Vampire Bund's all the scenes we hadn't finished animating when they aired one for instance.

Sometimes, I really do wonder why I bother. You aren't going to change your opinion. I'm not going to change mine. What the hell's the point? All human contact seems more and more like little more than pointless conflict (the only kind of human contact I ever get involved in these days, anyway). I either stay quiet and avoid it or speak up and give myself more grief than I need. Just... have whatever opinion you bloody well like. I'm bored now.BAKA said:

The worst thing about the Durarara!! release isn't the price, it's splitting the show into three parts. Anyone who's been watching the show knows that it isn't structured in the same way as Gurren Lagann. The show is structured so that every 12 episodes covers one novel. It just doesn't make any sense splitting it into three parts. It'd be much better to release two volumes with 12 episodes each.

The problem Beez, and any other anime releasing company not competing directly with the R1 market, will always face is that Americans get DVDs faster and, more often than not, cheaper.
It's great that Baccano is coming out, yes... but I imported my set for around £18 last Christmas from America, and it can still be gotten for the same price now. The response speed has been too slow when the series has been available to import for that cheap for so long.
As for Dura getting expensive, TTGL style releases, it's great for Beez if they have enough collectors buying to cover their costs/make a small profit. But 90% of people will no doubt just wait for a cheapo box set release instead of paying £75+ for the entire series...

I hadn't thought of that either. It's really obvious where the novel ends and sets the show into a different swing. Might be better to release a a higher price and just do the two releases instead of three. It's not like they need to wait for the dubs to be released in America which can hold back anime releases.
