Smash Apprentice
o, that makes a lot more sense. But I have a feeling the DVD friendly finals version won't sell as much as expectedthis thread seriously depresses me...
Ok, so people are talking like it's $50 for smash matches? No, it's $50 if you want BOTH discs.
Disc 1: all matches in data format, playable on the computer (think last year's) - $25
Disc 2: the final few matches from each event, in a playable on a regular DVD player - $25
The whole reason we even considered making a Disc 2 was because last year our biggest complaints were either "I paid $25 for a lot of matches I don't care about" or "I can't watch it on my TV". We are attempting to address both of those this time, while also offering the same style product as last year, for those that preferred it like that.
This is a lot like when Nintendo released Pokemon for the first time, in 2 versions. Did they say, "if you want to play pokemon, you must pay $60"? No, you'd only pay $60 if you wanted BOTH versions, which was pretty useless anyway. It's the same case here, you'd only be paying $50 if you wanted BOTH all the matches in data format, AND a DVD that can be played in most players.
I hope this clears up a lot of confusion. For those that want updates, encoding is completely done. On to editing....
EDIT: The first to charge for smash matches is MattDeezie, for his TG4 DVD. But most of the current community is probably too new to remember that.
Anyways, is there an ETA on the release and specifics on how to buy them? The eBay way was pretty convenient for me last year.
