I took the regular 2-disc keepcase that the Peacekeeper Wars came in, and swapped it with the flap 2-disc keepcase that Volume 1 came it. Here's what it solved.... The PK Wars set lacked an insert, and both discs had disc art, while the Starburst Editions have contained two double-sided discs and an insert. So by swapping them, you not only get a matching keepcase for Volume 1, but you get one that artistically displays the two PK Wars discs. And since the PK Wars set didn't come with an insert...you don't need the little flaps in the front cover.

Personally, I fully expect them to combine these 3 volumes into one set. That's the pattern that they followed with release #1, so I suspect they'll do that with Starburst. It's a lot easier for consumers to grasp the concept of buying a "season 1" set than buying "Starburst Vol 1, 2, and 3".

What is this "smackdab" you speak of, and does it have a commentary?

They'll probably release all 4 seasons and then re-release them all with special features. Maybe even more than the original, non Starburst, releases. New Starburst Wild Berry edition or something similar I'm sure. Ba$tard$

Vol. 1 came out on Nov. 15th
Vol. 2 came out on Jan. 18th
Vol. 3 came out on Mar. 15th
So I'd expect Vol. 4 to come out May 17th.
With regards to e-tailer listings, I've seen listings for certain ADV releases not even go up until damn near release day. IIRC, one volume of Andromeda wasn't listed on DDD till like the week of release or even after the release.

Whatever happened to the rumored 11-disc special features box set?
I was kinda hoping they would release that between seasons 1 and 2.

Well the drenload arrived today. Not any heavier than a normal dvd. I thought for sure a drenload would be heavier. Amazingly enough it was smackdab in the middle of the mailbox.
Actually, both arrived. The original I ordered 6 weeks ago, and the replacement. Should I call them up and ship it back?

If you got two drenloads, you might want to be cautious as to which one you open and watch, as some have had problems playing their smackdab.

That kinda sucks. I was hoping to get it in May. That said, I haven't seen an announcement for the next volume of Andromeda either (another ADV release).
