    I hope you are right...in that they actually air WAT, FBM, BR:1 and BR:2 as well as TSR and EIP. I guess it depends on how long they will air episodes beginning July 14th, like Monday through the following Sunday or Monday through Friday or Saturday.

    Nick has not yet clarified that.

    To our Avatar Brethern Outside the US: Look we know you can't take part in this 'Buy Avatar DVDs May 6th' frenzy in a practical way. We don't expect you to. You guys had our backs for WAT and FBM and we have your backs now. Trust me, we won't leave you high and dry. You came through for us, we will come through for you. You will see BR:1 and BR:2 somewhere, somehow on May 6th.

    .....

    Yes please lol! However, I believe I could order it through Amazon.com. Then there's still the different DVD system codecs problem, but I believe that can be 'cracked' or something....I believe. Well, it depends, once I ordered a DVD from US that did work. I'm such a noob when it comes to DVD systems, I should look up on how that works.

    I'd love to but to my parents, avatar is a "phase" I'll grow out of. I'M 16!!! I DON'T HAVE PHASES ANYMORE!!! (do I?)I don't think they want me to have DVDs. I'm saving up for my own laptop anyway. I'll watch episodes on that I guess.

    Some older people in general are stuck on the belief that any animated program is for kids. Which is pretty unfortunate.

    Someone should sit them trough the whole NGE or the Betrayal OVA of Samurai X n they will obviously change their minds...Either that or they will say those are the most awful gruesome things they ever see...Which will be so sad

    Hey, this may be a little off topic, but in order for the BR uploads to not get deleted (due to viacom's litigation on youtube) you are going to need to upload more than one video. For example: the firs WAT uploads were deleted but once they started to pour onto the internet the deletion of them stopped.

    It's about the regional coding on the DVD, and the system used. The DVD will be in NTSC form, so your tv has to support NTSC and not PAL.

    I would agree, if I knew what any of that meant. >_>

    Expect lots of downloads and lots of copyright deletions as a result May 6th. It will be a race to see them and download them faster than Nick IP can remove them.

    Again I would like to state for the record that I am not in favor of the internet downloads as I am steering the 'Buy the DVD May 6th' campaign.

    However I also know this fanbase. I know it very well. We are EXTREMELY loyal to one another. Nick is the enemy. We are bound together by our love of Avatar and worship Mike and Bryan like enshrined Gods.

    Foreign fans downloaded WAT and FBM to the internet at great risk to themselves as soon as they aired. The ONLY way US fans saw WAT and FBM was BECAUSE of our Avatar brethern abroad.

    They did it for us and we will do it for them, no matter what the price.

    It's just how we are...VERY LOYAL and VERY CLOSE-KNIT.

    See that little white box in the corner? It reads "NTSC-US." I don't really know what it means either, but in layman's terms it means it works in North America, but not in Europe, Britain, etc.

    NTSC means National Television System Comittee and as he says it is a region code. it is for analog tv's though. There is also PAL and Secam.
