I'd take those inventory listings with a grain of salt. Plenty of times I've ordered from places that said they had so-and-so in stock, only to be backordered for weeks. Besides, you don't know how often they update their inventory counts. If everyone is ordering at once, their system may not be smart enough to decrease the in-stock inventory...


Yeah thats what happened with my Battle Athletes Victory order. The sale went on for like a day or two and A TON of people ordered, so by the time they realized how many orders they had, they had already gone over their limit.

And, like Zarxrax, I too got an e-mail from Overstock. Am hoping to see it by the end of the week.

And checked up on Trigun and the $3.00 one is a VHS. Though yeah the $9.99 one is still pretty cheap. It's Vol. 5 -> http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi ... D_ID=85716

Same happened to me with RightStuf and the Kenshin box (only the box). This is like the nine-millionth time RightStuf has sent me that damn e-mail. You'd think they'd be a bit better about inventory and so on. It's one of the things I hate about them. They *always* have inventory problems. I've been waiting a month and still no box :(.

Just to tell you all, usually when other people make subtitles that aren't from the original dvd subtitles....THEY SUCK!!!! The video sometimes suck too. In this first season pack of Yu-Gi-Oh I got for $30, it had horrible subtitles, some words weren't right, grammer errors, and sometimes it would skip a whole episode, and you would have to rewind it back to see it. And sometimes they didn't even put the right names. So just telling you this, so if it does happen to you, you won't be surprised....*goes to site and buys dvds* XDDD
SEKKUSU!!!!!!!!

Well, there is dvds that say edited on them, so i buy ones that say (dvd) on the end of them, which hopefully means its a (dvd) original...

Thank you for that completely random anecdote.

The DVDs that are on sale are all Region 1 Hybrid (Sub and Dub). There are very few series on DVD that are Dub only or Sub only. This isn't something that you usually need to be concerned with. You were probably looking at the VHS section, which are obviously one audio track.

So yeah. Thanks again for the nonsense :D

Shinji. They're the normal, hybrid, Region 1, official release, tried and true DVDs. Don't bother with what InSaNe KeYbLaDeR was saying. There's no need to consult Overstock.com. Just relax. You made a good purchase.
