šŸ˜ƒ Oh joyous day! I donā€™t know if they moved up the release date or what happened, because [BuffyDVD](http://www.buffydvd.com/) says it wonā€™t be out until tomorrow, but I got mine in snail mail from Amazon today! No sleep for **erl** this week! [from the inside cover]ā€œIā€™m an old-fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that the men dig up the corpses and the women have the babies.ā€ tee-hee! But, bad news or typo? A little slip of paper that came with it said that third season wouldnā€™t out until winter 2003 :eek: That better be a typo! :mad: Six months is too long to wait IMO when the UK already has so many seasons out for them. [mumble stupid region releases grumble] ---

I doubt itā€™s a typo. The last set came out in January, so 5-6 months is probably going to be the patternā€¦I was sure it was going to be Jan/July, though, sort of like every X-files set comes out in May/November. FOX likes to keep things like that going. Soā€¦are they worth buying? I have every episode on tape, butā€¦theyā€™re a hell of a lot cheaper than the X-files, anyway (less than 1/2!) šŸ™‚ ---

Are they worth buying?! Are you nuts?! Itā€™s a deal at twice the price! I, personally, have been having BuffyFest '02 in preparation for The Big Day. Now **erislover** has just made me incredibly jealous and wishing Iā€™d ordered itā€¦ ---

**elf** , but winter 200 **3** ā€¦ thatā€™s not six months, thatā€™s a YEAR and six months! I will cry if that is true, really I will. Like I said, Iā€™m miffed that they are taking six months to get the eps out. But, they want to put in all the interviews and other tidbits, so there you go. Wow, so I really did get it a day early, huh? Looks like I better get some watching in tonight so I feel even _more_ special! šŸ˜‰ ---

Hmm, but already having them on tape and then making the transition. Well, I can say that the quality is really very good, at least it was on Season 1. 5 eps per disc, a little booklet with episode titles and a brief synopsis of the plot. :shrug: For only $50 I think it is way worth it. ---

Winter of 2003 is in January, isnā€™t it? Iā€™ve never heard of calling it the ā€œwinter ofā€ whatever year and meaning December is the beginning of it. ---

I wouldnā€™t consider ā€œWinter of 2003ā€ to be January, though January is certainly winter, and certainly in 2003. Hmm. But, youā€™re right, that would be when they release the next one. January, 2003ā€™s winter is the winter from 2002 in my opinion. šŸ™‚ ---

January is Winter 2003. Since Winter doesnā€™t even start until December 22, and runs until March 22, all but 9 days of the coming winter are in 2003. To call it Winter 2002 just because the first 9 days are in 2002, disregarding the latter 81 days, would be quite stupid. ---

So, December is part of Fall? March isnā€™t really part of Spring? Iā€™m glad I live in California. All those seasons sound terribly confusing. ---

My only problem with this set of discs is that it scares my boyfriend. You see, when we got Season 1 on DVD, we watched it. All of it. One day. It was only a half-season, 12 eps. But nowā€¦ I want to do the same thing with season 2. 24 hours of Buffy! He thinks Iā€™m insane. ---

Oh yeah, I want a total buffy-thon with someone, season one and then two. What, itā€™ll only be like 30 hours. šŸ™‚ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miller \* > \*\*So, December is part of Fall? March isnā€™t really part of Spring? Iā€™m glad I live in California. All those seasons sound terribly confusing. \*\* Usually: December 1-20 or 21st are in the fall March 1-20 or 21st are in the winter June 1-20 or 21st are in the spring September 1-20 or 21st are in the summerā€¦ The first day of summer in 2002 is the 21st of June this year, but for some reason the first day of fall isnā€™t until the 23rd, which is new to me. The first day of winter is the 22nd, which is pretty normal, I guess, though I used to believe that the seasons always began on the 21st of the monthsā€™ because that is/was more common. Since I agree with Kirkland1244, I really doubt that the DVDs are going to take a year and a half to come out. However, if you really want to know, go to [www.foxnetworks.com](http://www.foxnetworks.com) and to the dvd page. There should be an e-mail address for contacting them, and on a whole Fox is good about returning e-mails. ---

Had a look at the ā€œfeatureā€ section on Amazon, and thereā€™s a whole lotta stuff we poor Aussies didnā€™t get. All these interviews and stuffā€¦ Pah. And it cost 80 bucks for _half_ a season, as wellā€¦ But Iā€™ll console myself in having had the first half of season two since around Christmas and the second half since a few months afterā€¦ And, for some reason, Angel Season 1 came out at the same time as Buffy season 2, resulting in my having purchased the first half of Angel season 2 on DVD (not having gotten the second half of season oneā€¦ damn Iā€™m spending a lot of money on these) when Season two finished here less than a year agoā€¦ ---

Really, I donā€™t care when the calendar says winter starts. Winter starts, in my estimation, on the first snowfall after Thanksgiving. Why couldnā€™t they just say ā€œJanuary 2003ā€ and be done with it? No ambiguities for simple folk like myself. **Matt** , grr, thatā€™s a lot of money. I wanted to buy the XFiles season sets but they are $120 a season. Sorry. Even if they had gold covers it wouldnā€™t be worth it for me. No show was ever that good. ---
