They also discontinued their DVDs of the syndicated Street Fighter cartoon. Why do companies do this for no good reason whatsoever?

But I am sure it costs them money to keep the license. It costs money to keep the DVD's stored in a warehouse for shipment. It is the same reason why Books start to slide off the shelves into oblivion. If there is no interest for more, they are not going to keep it on their shelves. If stores do not keep the books on their shelves, there is no need to have a warehouse full of books. If you don't need the warehouse, then why are you printing. you get the idea. And who knows - it is quite possible that the big movie companies are starting to throw their weight around for the new Robotech Movie. This may mean they want to reproduce the DVD's and sell them. And if that is the case, then they could end up being better produced on not as many discs. I am a fan of ADV, but the fact that they can't put more than 2 hours on a DVD blows chunks! Especially when a season of 22 to 23 45 minute shows takes around 10 or 11 discs! Last Edited By: Tiree July 25, 2008 01:09 PM. Edited 1 times.
