Pretty funny John.

In my opinion, the head sets really aren't terrible, and are kind of neat. However, having just received the Season Six replacement box, I do have to admit that it looks better on the shelf. So while I like the head boxes, I also like consistency.... Oh well. It's good that Fox is giving a choice, I guess.

I will just be getting the regular box. I really don't like the "head" ones.

I honestly dont care, as it only took about 4 months to come out since last system, I cant wait for some more simpsons...
But I will be buying the Standard Package to go with my others.

i feel a merge coming on....

glad to here that they will offer both packages for the consumer.

Hooray for Fox letting you choose what package you want (although my gut feeling is that Best Buy will have nothing but the Marge heads :lol: ).

:up:

Regular packaging for me!

Maybe if they also rereleased Season 6 in the standard packaging around Christmas time also I'll pick up both Season 6 and 7. Here's to hoping..

does the alternate style box for season 6 come with a all new insert to match the box???

Wait, how are we so sure the release date won't just get pushed back? I know it's in time for Christmas, but aren't these sets usually delayed for some reason or another? Not trying to jinx it, just saying...

By the time it's up for pre-order, it's usually not going to change (at least, it hasn't ever done that before...knock on wood).

I've been putting off sending away for the replacement box for S6. You can still do it, correct?

Most likely. Judging by that coverart for the regular box, it looks like it's another one of those "head slips into the case" dealies, just like the Season 6 replacement...

FWIW, I like the head boxes so I'll get that one (obviously in the minority here). Getting closer to one of my favorite episodes: Season 9 - The Cartridge Family.

Huh-huh, I said 'head', huh-huh.

That's what it looks like to me as well. While definately not satisfied, I'm glad I don't have to spend another 3 bucks to get one in the mail this time. I wish they would offer the digipaks, but it looks like that's unfeasible. This way, FOX only has to produce one version of the "inner" package, and then either slap it in a head or cardboard sleeve.

I'm glad Fox decided to do the character head boxes so the simpsons dvd release discussions on the net can obsess about the friggin box instead of what's actually inside.

Paper or Plastic?

Im gonna keep getting the head boxes since i now have the season 6 homer one and was too lazy to send away for a replacement.

The "head" boxes don't really bother me all that much.
