Well, I ain't buying it, that's for sure. Just like I refused to buy
the "First" season of Twin Peaks. That was missing the Pilot, and was
seriously overpriced for 7 eps, on it's initial release (and the
company has no plans on releasing season 2).
One of my friends is going to rent GitS2 at Blockbuster and rip it, and
I will watch it off his hard drive. First it doesn't play anywhere I
can see it, and then this. I only have three words for the
distributors... "Fuck You, Too!"
I wonder how many people got stiffed unawares of this little treat...
Especially since I am sure they didn't run "Closed Captions" in the
theatres.
