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

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 Committee and as he says it is a region code. it is for analog tv's though. There is also PAL and Secam.

Thanks.

Truly welcome

You lie silent there before me
your tears they mean nothing to me
the wind howling at the window
the love you never gave
I give to you

Really don't deserve it
but now there's nothing you can do
so sleep in your only memory of me
my dearest mother

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
goodbye goodbye So insignificant sleeping dormant deep inside of me
are you hiding away lost
under the sewers maybe flying high in the clouds
perhaps you're happy without me
so many seeds have been sown in the field
and who could sprout up so blessedly if I had died I would have never felt sad at all
you will not hear me say I'm sorry
where is the light
wonder if it's weeping somewhere

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye

As unfortunate as it is, I just heard a rumor (meaning an unconfirmed story that's probably full of bull) that Nick has decided not to permit the avatar franchise to continue beyond the already announced movie trilogy, which may not even be that, depending on ticket sales. That means no spinoff, no more games, and definately no more avatar on nick.
Rumor. From a guy who usually plays practical jokes with this sort of stuff.
I mildly trust his word when he swears on a holy book, but I honestly doubt he's Rastafarian.
But then again... rumor true or not... nick might just let avatar "blow over" and wait till we "rabid fans" find something else to "cling to."

Thanks.

PAL, NTSC and SECAM don't affect DVDs though (well they do but not much). DVDs come in one of 7 region codes, region 1 is the most of North America, Region is the EU and a number of other places, you also have "region 0" (the seventh one) which means it can be played anywhere I am not sure if you get region 0 DVDs, since Avatar is relleased in the USA it would most likely have region 1 coding, since Psyche987 (aas well as a number of others here) are from a country insie the EU our DVD players are most liely region 2 encoding so we most likely can't play Avatar, unless it is region 0 or we use cerytain emulation software on our computers.

Personally I think they are test marketing our fervor with the DVD May 6th. Everyone is soooo concerned about not giving Nick a dime (understandable) but really what they're withholding is giving Avatar, Mike and Bryan a chance to flourish or fail in the end.

If there was ever a time for us to need to be fanatical about Avatar, this is it.

Don't y'all ever feel like you're pigeons in a Skinner box, and you have to push the button to get the treat? Don't y'all feel manipulated?

Sorry, but I'm going to wait for the S3 boxset.

Well, we thought that helping Avatar win the Kid's Choice Awards would make them treat Avatar better, and obviously that plan failed. But I guess money is a much bigger motivator than anything.
I am conflicted; I would love to buy the DVD, but I also want to wait for the boxed set.

Yeah, I was planning on waiting for the Season 3 box set as well, but I'm making an exception this time, since it will help the show. Can always donate/trade the single disc once the box set comes out.

What's better is if people buy the Avatar DVDs for their friends
More sales = More happiness points

I don't have any friends who like Avatar.
(This is basically a bump).

I read Lisa's post, and all I have to say is:

"Son's and Daughter's of Avatar, I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen...here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. Fight, and you may die. Run, and you'll live...at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be WILLING to trade...ONE chance, JUST ONE CHANCE to come back here and tell our enemies...that they may take our lives, but they'll never take AVATAR!!!"
