So that's

The Sun: August the 26th
Amazon: September the 5th
Empire film: September the 6th
Simpsons Channel: September the 15th
Fox: October the 24th

What the hell is going on??

**EspanolBot** · 08-02-2005, 07:25 AM

Something's rotten in the DVD marketing department. Could they be someone giving these people the wrong information on purpose?

**Homer Jay** · 08-02-2005, 07:33 AM

Just import the US version and play it on a universal player.

**Archduke_Chocula** · 08-02-2005, 10:32 AM

So have they elaborated on the boxart? Exactly how are the discs stored in Homers dome? slimcases ala Futurama? Does it house the normal case that was used for Seasons 1-5?

I'm not sure exactly, but I believe it won't house a normal case like seasons 1-5, inside it.

So where are U.K people who are improting it, ordering it from, Amazon does list it cheaper, but you get 3 different options for the shipping, If you want it deliverd as quick as Playusa will do it then the shipping cost will almost double the price , and they might not dispatch it before release date. but if you pick a cheaper slower delivery than it somewhat defeats the point of getting it imported.
So I'm sticking with playusa.

Just rechecked, Empire says that it's the 5th, the font was hard to read.

**Bartman3010** · 08-02-2005, 04:58 PM

Is there a list of whos doing the commentary for this set?

Do we finally get to hear Mike Scully voice his opinion against the Simpsons fans? (And I very much doubt Matt and the rest of the Simpson staff hate him, and I'm sure they think some of his decisions are good as well.)

Only a few episodes have the participants listed, and Scully will be there for his episodes.

The inside design looks really good.

Where did you get the picture from?

**st3vo** · 08-04-2005, 08:44 AM

That looks awesome! The booklet looks great, the discs look great (considering they'll be following the same theme), and most importantly there is a label on the side. I take back everything I said about this box.

**~~Butters~~** · 08-04-2005, 08:48 AM

nice art.

still don't like the cover though.

**Postmaster** · 08-04-2005, 08:52 AM

Ughh the crayon in the brain.

And I still don't like the fact that it curves up and I'd still be much happier with the old design.

The insides actually look really nice and colourful. It looks like a childrens play set but in a good way.

A bit puzzled why the cover of the first disc has Smither's shadow looking murderous - are all the discs going to be themed around Who Shot Mr Burns do you think?

Also this is going to sound really petty, but say you want Disc 4, you have to remove all the other discs, take 4 out, and then put the other 3 back. I know it's not much but it'll get a little tedious I'm sure

Edit - I'm an idiot, the whole damn thing is themed around Who Shot Mr Burns

**Binky** · 08-04-2005, 09:09 AM

What did I tell you when the cover art was first revealed? Wonderfully designed packaging inside. Beautifully done.

Yeah, some stores don't follow official release date rules and sell items as soon as they get them. Usually mostly in other countries, because the US has penalties for such things (although if it's a very popular and anticipated item, some US stores will do it anyway). Also, members of the press, critics, reviewers, etc. get DVDs a few weeks in advance, for free.

Btw, Robertuybrush, if that's your box set, can you pictures of the front of the box too, in case it's changed since the artwork was release by Fox? (because they frequently do)

**Sloppy Jimbo XOX** · 08-04-2005, 09:13 AM

oh wow, that looks awesome.

i always liked the new box design but that just seals it. innovation rules.

**Binky** · 08-04-2005, 09:14 AM

All the people who were angry and making stupid empty threats like "I'm not goin to buy another Simpsons box set again because of this" must feel really, really stupid now.

**~~Butters~~** · 08-04-2005, 09:16 AM

Well, I've always felt stupid, so...

**Postmaster** · 08-04-2005, 09:28 AM

I still prefer the digipack, but I never threatend not buy it.

**Simpsons Forever!** · 08-04-2005, 09:44 AM

I have to agree that the inside of that boxset looks fantastic, but I would still prefer the old sets, because the cover just looks so plastic and childish. It's interesting that they've themed the inside design around just one S6 episode, too. It pushes the rest of the season into the background. I would have preferred more of the season to be included, like in S5. If they continue like this, I wonder which episode S7's design will be based on?

**st3vo** · 08-04-2005, 09:45 AM

Amazon has put up their review if anyone's interested: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...29609?v=glance

**Alfred E. Neuman** · 08-04-2005, 09:55 AM

the inside looks great the only thing i dont like is you have to take out everyone just to get one disc

**Snack Related Mishap** · 08-04-2005, 10:14 AM

I agree with Binky, I am glad that people's words came back to huant them, well, some of them, and only some of the some of them that actually like it now. I think it looks great!

**~~Muppets Go Midevil~~** · 08-04-2005, 10:34 AM

Why Did the Amazon.com Review have to trash the Critic and mention Family Guy Feud

that was a terrible review hell the 2nd review from dec 24th, 2004 was better and he never saw the Season 6 DVD yet

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...22201?v=glance

**Alfred E. Neuman** · 08-04-2005, 11:12 AM

they shouldve just stuck to revewing season 6 and not going through to the feud with family guy

A friend sent it to me. He foud it on some forum and said it was an image hosted by imageshack, so I don't know where it's originally from. It should be from a review I suppose...

By the way, I liked it before, but now I like it a lot. Good to see there will be a label on the side. And I'm sure the cover will look a lot less... "grotesque" in our hands.

EDIT: TVShowsOnDVD has just uploaded some new images: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3838

**DotheBartman** · 08-04-2005, 12:02 PM

While I still don't like the change, or the tacky outside cover, I have to admit the inside looks nice. I hoped they would compensate for it somewhat with a good inside design, and I really like the disc art for the one disc shown there at least. Hopefully they still have the usual Groening "letter" in there in some form.

I'll try to find where the picture came from if I can. There's also a guy at Home Theater Forum who has the set (though I don't know if that's his picture or now) so I might ask him about it. He did say that the package came off as kind of flimsy and wondered if the plastic might crack.

As I was typing that, I saw that tvshowsondvd has more elaborate shots:

Really do like the disc art, I gotta say.

**st3vo** · 08-04-2005, 12:19 PM

Those are great pictures, but what is that smaller black boxset in the bottom picture that says complete sixth season?
