Thank goodness there’s still some love for the laserdisc format. There’s still a ton of stuff out there that may never make it to DVD, including supplemental material from many titles that have made the jump.
While I’m pleased to see the unaltered Star Wars trilogy come to DVD, I’ll continue to hold on to my lasers for the supplements that won’t likely be on the September release.
The Australian fanbase?
I’ll take a guess as an ex-pat Aussie, and throw a few irons into the fire.
Unless it’s changed recently (since I moved out to the US two years ago), Aussie broadband users still suffer ‘transfer caps’. For a lot of cash they get a smaller amount of transfer per month, then get hammered with ‘overage’ charges.
Now Mike, and it’s your time to shine, you pack these shows into a quality feed, for a pretty small footprint (transfer wise). Couple that with a great show, great connectivity, and those Aussies are looking at a great product, that doesn’t break the budget.
Given the poor local content (again, looking back two years), Slice, and the rest, are a great investment each week – for those guys and gals that sometimes have to check their ‘alloted amount of transfer’ each month.
Having said that, I hope it’s changed for my far-away brethren, and they enjoy the wonders of US equivalent broadband.
Heck, I’ll still give my ‘thigh hugging man-love’ for Mike, that I can direct download an hour show in around 3 minutes via Comcast here in sunny Washington State.
Hi guysm rather than voice mail, I will text this one. .but to answer your question why so many peope in Australia listen to your show.
I few reasons:
*we DONT HAVE SCI FI CHANNEL.. and what VERY little cable we have totally sucks.. it only has sport, and crap old movies its really bad and expenise, and most people cant get it anyway.
* we DONT have broadband!! Most of us are lucky to have dial up. let alone a 256k or a 512k connection. And those that can get a 512K connection pay very big $$$’s for it. We are 10 years behind the US in terms of high speed internet connection.
* our local TV sucks. we have 5 TV stations accross the nation, that show nothing but crap, no sci fi, no Battle Star, no Star Trek, nothing. ITS juts quiz shows, and reality TV, its rubbish.
Thus we are SCI FI Starved here, we order many DVDs from overseas just to keep our weekly fill of SCI FI, we cant rely on the net to give us shows cause our trickle band internet is too slow!! Thus we love shows like yours that keep us going, and we dream of 10 MB internet connections and having the SCI FI channel.
Grant, et al from Australia…. those are reasons why we are here for you and others across the globe.
But don’t forget about us once your locations get all those fancy bells and whistles that allow for better TV, movies and web downloading at reasonable prices. Don’t discard us like a worn out lover…. 😉
Sam
we wont be getting any better TV or broadband.. so you are stuck with us SAM 🙂
