I know this, however Blue Gender is being released in 8 discs (3/4 per
disc); and Yu Yu Hakusho is being released with typically 3 eps. per
disc.

Usually though, companies give a choice to have with or without a box. 
There is only one choice offered and no word that it comes with a box. 
If it does though, it would explain some things... but it would have to
be a very nice box!

That's because they don't have much.  With mostly DBZ and YuGiHo (Dub
Only), most titles would be $24.98 or less.  This gives GXP a possible
shot to be $24.98, but then I would believe they will release it in
eight volumes.

Funimation is doing good only because they have DBZ!  If they didn't
have that one title, they would be shit.  Viz mostly does manga titles,
so they don't do much anime besides Ranma.  And Manga... well, Manga
will probably be bought out soon by someone bigger and better.  The one
thing I can count on with Manga is whenever they grab a new title, you
know it'll be five years before it's eventual release (see Eva).
