Beetleborgs Metallix Vol. 2 - Shout Factory Needs Our Help

Mr. Yellow · 08-10-2013, 01:40 PM

Time to stop blaming Shout. They didn't put out a call, we the fans did. We noticed the final volume wasn't scheduled anytime soon and asked. They said the last couple of volumes didn't sell well enough. Netflix won't last forever, and once that's gone we're left with incomplete DVDs and crappy encodes. Not to mention that the quality of Netflix varies depending on your internet strength. IMO a physical media copy will trump streaming any day.

Any notion that this is a "sales ploy" by Shout is preposterous to say the least. If so, then it must be a conspiracy by other companies/studios as well. It's simply a bigger deal with Shout because, believe it or not, they're still an indie, relatively small company. Imagine trying to convince Disney to release even a "Best of Beetleborgs" DVD. Nope.

On my 360 atm, and the links are working for me. I'll have to check them on my computer later. Anyways, the price for the volumes is reasonable. Which isn't surprising. I'll get the sets later this year. I would get them now, but I don't have the extra cash atm. Would be nice for the last volume to be made, but even if it doesn't, I imagine these will still be worth owning.

Edit: On my computer now, and they are working.
