Still no sign of Berry Brick Road tho :/

Finally.

Why release Berry Brick Road last? Saving something random for last doesn't make much sense. Oh well.

[Blackberry Bun]

I only can hope it doesn't have unique music video in special features.

Btw, does Berrywood Here We Come have one? I forgot.

Ha ha, no. All it has for special features are printable coloring pages and they don't have anything to do with either of the stories. :lol:

Why do you hope it doesn't have a music video? Isn't that... supposed to be good? Or such clips used to suck?

Anyway, I can't believe they really release one ~45 minute episode (that contains 2 plots) per DVD. It's inefficient, because more could fit on a DVD. Even 2 or 3. It would be more economic and environmentally sound, because less plastic would be manufactured to ship the DVDs. On the other hand, this is the business in it. People need to buy more DVDs, so there are more incomes. Though releasing more DVDs has more expenses, but I don't know how it is balanced out after all...

But to tell something good about DVDs... I was in a supermarket today, and found discounted Strawberry Shortcake DVDs! \o/ I only bought one of them, and now I regret that I didn't buy more. Finally I bought the first DVD, "Meet Strawberry Shortcake". I'm so excited about it, I've never seen that episode, I hope it is a good one! But I can't watch it today, because I should get to sleep early!

I regret that I didn't have time to look around... I should have digged more, maybe I could have found a DVD from season 4. Though I've only seen season 4 episodes so far, it will be good to see an older episode at last. But I have a feeling that I won't like the earlier seasons as much as the 4th one. Beyond that I like the season 4 new look of the characters better, I also read that season 4 has more mature topics related to the earlier ones. I know it's still intended for minors primarily, but I'm just afraid that the earlier seasons are so childish that even I can't bear to watch them. Well... let's see, I'm looking forward to see "Meet Strawberry Shortcake"!

Another reason why I think that maybe I should have bought another DVD, that I don't see any relevant extras (like video clips?) listed on the back of the DVD case. And I remember I saw another DVD which had video clip listed in its extras. Most likely I will see the episode itself on TV as well, so the extras are considerable. But eventually I still decided to buy the first DVD... because it's the first. It also has some symbolic meaning for me - the first SSC DVD I buy is the first one released, it is my respect for my entering into the world of Strawberryland.

Sorry for I was off-topic... maybe I should have posted it to somewhere else. But still I'm glad for my first DVD! \o/

Because I'll have to buy it from the other side of the planet if it does. The shipping cost is double the cost of the DVD because of distance, and I don't really like spending that much money for a single music video. But on the other hand I will really want the music video and will consider buying it anyway.

That's why I'd prefer it not having one.

[RAMChYLD]

I can't really see how the shipping is double the price of the DVD unless you went for the express method. The worst that has happened to me is that the total price of the DVD almost doubled because shipping costs about just as much.

In this case, The disc costs US$10.49. Shipping costs me US$8.98.

I'm not complaining tho. I collect these, so yeah. The 2003/2007 DVDs in my collection are all NIB (well, almost. I opened the Sweet Dreams Movie box to remove the seeds, since they're organic and can't be good for the DVD in the long run). The 2009 DVDs however, I open them, except for the regular series which I'm waiting for the final 3 volumes before I take two days off, open them all at once and go on a marathon.

It was more than one year ago, so either shipping cost has dropped or my memory didn't connect the right cable. =P

Well, I recall that the last time you bought a DVD, you asked for it to be shipped by parcel service or something. Maybe that's why.

Understandable tho, we don't know how stable the postal system in Indonesia is compared to parcel services.

[RAMChYLD]

Well... Uh oh...
