all of this occurred to me, too. unfortunately we have to wait for DLW to 
lay down the data. another thought is that perhaps they are mimicing the 
cowboy bebop box and including some sort of soundtrack disc. after all, 
ADV/TRSI's soundtrack line is reputed to have around 100 titles in the 
works. who knows?

as someone pointed out on the AoD forum, mainstream studios do this *all the 
time*. personally, i don't care, because i'm getting a nice box set and some 
sort of "premium" bonus and a nice, happy remastered disc one. the only disc 
i'd bought was the first one and i'll ebay it soon. it doesn't bug me too 
much.. it's just an inconvenience in the large scheme of things. a new disc 
1 is better than no new disc 1, imo. this is like standard operating 
procedure for studios. anime studios just try harder to please the vocal 
minority because it's such a fan-oriented market.
