That's good enough, really. Just download the free version of DVD Fab Passkey, and we can import them and watch on our PCs. I've done it before for other things that never made it to the US.

Not to say that it's as good as a US release, but it certainly works.
Well, not all of the discs have even been released yet, as far as I know. They were selling the Season 1 box and only one disc and releasing the discs as they go. Does not make it cheap.

Plus, I'd like to be able to watch them in places where I don't have a computer.
I didn't notice that they were selling it one disc at a time. That's lame, and like you said, expensive. BUT: it's still better than nothing. Maybe they'll release them all in one set at a cheaper price once all the discs are available.

Can't help you with the watching where there's no PC thing, except to suggest buying a region-free DVD player and lugging it about with you. At which point you might as well take your laptop instead.

Did you guys see that awesome Green Lantern episode yesterday? WOW! This show is GOOD! That was an epic episode!

and for those of you worried about Young Justice's five year time jump, they're already filling out back story in just the second episode. And I have to say, I LOVE this version of Beast Boy, though his "noted" catch word is a bit quirky, kind of like his adopted sister's "Hellooo Megan."

I love DC Nation, though I fast forward through the animation shorts. Not interested in the cutesy comedy.

Yeah, it was a fantastic episode. I'll just copy a post from www.comiccollectorlive.com I posted to share my thoughts on it:

I'm loving this cartoon. I know I made a stink about it being in CGI rather than hand-drawn before, but at this point, it's all forgiven. The show has been fantastic. And this week's episode may have been the best yet.

The origin of the Blue Lantern Corps has begun. There was a battle against a large faction of Red Lanterns, we saw the GLs get a power-boost from Ganthet's first Blue Lantern (object, not person). And Ganthet is banned from the The Guardians of the Universe and OA! And OA is currently defenseless as Ali Apsa (one of The Guardians of the Universe) has sent them all to The Forbidden Sector to aid Hal Jordan & Kilowog, which will take an entire year for them to arrive.

I can't for next week's episode!

I have a theory on where this season's storyline of Young Justice is going:

Remember the late 80s DC Crossover Event: Invasion:

Image

I'm thinking in Young Justice that a similar Alien Alliance will form to invade Earth. I believe this will happen as a retaliation to what the Justice League of America did during their missing 16-hours. The title of this season is "Invasion".

I wish the 1967 Fantastic Four series was on DVD. :(

Whatever they choose to do, I'm excited! I can't believe how good this and Green Lantern are right now.

I loved the super hero team ups we saw in this episode like Wonder Woman/Wonder Girl and Superman/Superboy. I had a geekgasm seeing all of Team Batman fighting together. Batman, Nightwing, Robin and Batgirl all in action and working together. As a Bat fan who has been reading a lot of Batman comics lately, that made me so happy! Young Justice Invasion is showing a LOT of Bat love this season!

I was shocked to see that you know who is now a villain. Wow! I can't wait to get a little more backstory on that.

Excellent episode of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes this week! This is one of the best animated comic shows ever. Full of cloak & dagger espionage, Avenger vs. Avenger, and those dam Skrulls. Can't wait to see where this all goes.

Pretty dang good episode of Green Lantern: The Animated Series this week. I hope that wasn't the season finale. The Red Lanterns arrive at the doorstep of the Guardians of the Universe. We finally see the battle between Hal Jordan and Atrocitus. The Blue Lantern makes his appearance. And *gasp* The Guardians of the Universe admit that they were wrong! Comic fans REALLY need to be watching this show, I know the CGI is a turn-off, but it's good regardless of that, seriously.

On the other hand, Young Justice this week wasn't all that great of an episode.
