Daria On DVD: Have We Succeeded?

I don't believe it.

Sometimes, over the past 10 months or so, i've typed " "daria dvd" unedited " (that's two words in quotes and then the word unedited).

Usually there's the DVDaria petition as the first match.

Today there was something different.

It's out there, maybe.

All 5 Seasons.
Commercial Free.
Un-edited
On 11 Discs
... with Custom Artwork

Only problem -- it could be a bootleg.

Especially given the tales of bootlegs in the past. (although, it's no different to the Star Wars 'Original Trilogy' Laserdiscs that have been around for years).

The cover does indeed sport an MTV logo, but the MTV Daria site doesn't say anything about it -- the two official discs were both region-less releases, which this is.

Shipping says it'll be 8-12 days processing time (because the discs are shipped directly from the supplier -- who I presume would be MTV if it was a legitimate release) plus 7 days shipping time.

So, i've placed an order -- the way I figure it, if it's even half decent -- I can clean up my DVD recorder -- and with the rather nice AUD->USD exchange rate right now, $60USD + $15 shipping is about what people decided they'd pay for legitimate releases from MTV anyway.

Time will tell :)
