Buffy S3 Covers

[Paul Scrivens]

When Buffy S2 was released some time ago, someone posted a link to a site containing individual covers for all 6 disks (these were taken from the R4 Ammray's).

Does anyone have the 6 individual cover images or know where they may be posted for S3 disks.

Thanks in advanced.

It's such a shame that people are having to think about doing this.
Although picture quality is much better than with the Season 2 discs, I was disappointed with the set overall.
The packaging is still impractical.
The 'featurettes' are short and too much of them is made up from clips from episodes. What's the point when you've got the episodes anyway?
Worst of all, "Dead Man's Party" is cut.
I'm not sure that it's going to be worthwhile buying any more Buffy (or Angel) sets - especially for anybody who had already bought the VHS versions.

Well the Saeson 1 and 2 R4 covers are here http://buffy.thrweb.de/

But you might have to wait for it to be released over there (this week?) in order to get the others.

That is why I have the R4 version of Buffy series 3. It was also a lot cheaper at £50.

Yep, also ordered the R4 Buffy set from ezydvd – and it does have to be borne in mind only 8 seconds were excised from “Dead Man’s Party”.

Okay, the cuts were shoddily done by what friends have told me, and it’s an utterly pointless piece of censorship considered against the content deemed acceptable (not getting started on wider censorship arguments). But again, 8 seconds – you loose more than that in the advert-break transition on SkyOne! Fair enough, it does bother some people, often on principal more than anything else – a group I freely admit I’m part of. But unless you’re opposed to censors as vehemently as this, it really isn’t worth getting worked up over IMO.

As for the packaging, agree completely – the armarays are neat, practical, and look pretty cool together on my shelf.:)

Well, the hotwiring cut could be classed as a "story element" I agree -- but I believe its still pretty clear what Giles does in the cut version. As for the "neck-snapping cut", it's utterly gratuitous, but also rather cool -- others of a more delicate dispisition may disagree with me here I imagine.:D And agreed about the price -- though with shipping its only around a fiver cheaper from ezydvd.
