As a third entry for the day, I'm doing some shameless plugging for the MSCL dvd set. As taken from http://www.mscl.com/mall/dvdbox.phtml:

PRE-ORDER NOW! - 09 Feb 2002

Hey Everyone! :-)
I am very excited (ecstatic is more like it!) to inform you that the My So-Called Life DVD Box Set is going to become a reality.
"How soon," you ask? You'll be amazed to learn that you can actually place a pre-order now and reserve a copy with a $20 deposit. BMG has agreed to license the DVD to AnotherUniverse.com as the exclusive source.
I, too, am amazed at how quickly things have progressed. To all those who doubted this would actually happen, I say, "don't doubt the power of prayer." :-P
Here is a little information:

1) The complete set will be issued on DVDs with bonus material, special collector's packaging, booklet, etc. Specifics will be coming to mscl.com soon!
2) There will be no region coding. It will play anywhere. International shipping is available.
3) The DVD is available exclusively online, at http://www.anotheruniverse.com/mscldvd
4) You can pay by credit card, check, or money order.
5) I believe that there is a phone number to order from (on their site).
6) For those who already own episodes 1-3, you can buy a set without that disc.
7) The price with all episodes is $99.98.
8) The price for episodes 4-19 is $89.98 (the set will be identical, minus disc one. You can insert the old disc into the new set package � but not the holder).
9) These prices may go down given a high number of pre-orders, as production costs can be spread out over a greater number of units.
10) There is a lot more info at http://www.anotheruniverse.com/mscldvd.

Important: The number of box sets manufactured will depend on the number of pre-orders received. There is no guarantee that there will more after the pre-order period. There is no �evil� strategy behind this; it's just that the set is being manufactured in response to our demand. In fact, we are the only reason it is being pressed at all. The estimated turnaround time is 3 months. However, if extra bonus material is located before production, and it is worthwhile, it is possible that this could be extended so that the extra material can be included.
This is pretty much the first time that I can remember that a DVD is being made solely in response to overwhelming fan demand and believe me, your signatures and hard work made all of the difference. There were almost 4,500 pre-pre-order signatures, so AnotherUniverse.com is just trying to make sure that they don't make too many or too few. It would suck to make 4,500 copies, if only 2,500 bought the set.
Besides that, I will post more information as it becomes available, including information on extras, sneak peaks of the packaging etc. I know when I originally wrote to everyone, I had quoted a lower $ amount for the DVD box set. I had underestimated the number of discs that would be needed for all of the episodes, as well as some of the costs for licensing the material. I still believe that the price is fair, and in line with other similar sets. The set will be made to have special features for ardent fans and collectors� do I really have to convince you why to get this? It�s all 19 episodes of the show! :-)
