Title: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)
Post by: spida1a on April 18, 2011, 09:31:56 AM
Hey guys,
The second volume of my "Turbo Views" series DVD is nearing completion. It came together REALLY well and I am excited for its release. The first volume sold great (I was able to "break even" which is awesome because...I didn't create the DVDs for the money but for the fans!). So, I am offering up the second DVD via "pre-order" to folks who purchased the first AND to the gang here at the message boards until EASTER Sunday.
Pre-Order victim benefits:
- You will be the FIRST one to receive a set! It won't go officially ON SALE until all "pre-orders" have shipped! - Each set will be numbered out of the amount of "pre-orders" received! - I might have to raise shipping when they officially go for sale, "pre-orders" get same shipping price as before! - A Turbo Views post-card with your number included with each order!
I realize these might not be very huge incentives to pre-order. To be honest, the surgery / hospital bills have finally crept in and, as a result, I do not have enough cash to buy initial materials. So, this is the true reason I need to take pre-orders this time around. I hate to "beg"...ha ha...just want to be honest.
Volume 2 is jammed with awesome stuff in this 3-Disc (REGION FREE) set:
- 29 isolated music tracks - 15 "my memory" commentary Tracks - PC-Engine "Stack" collection video - Bonk's Adventure on the NES video - Turbo Views interview with Gamester81 - Blooper Reel - Over 10 minutes of "Totally Turbo Tips" - Volume 1 commercial - Season 1 Intro - Animated Menus, a dozen Easter eggs, and more!!!!!
I worked hard on making this set even better than the first. I know you will enjoy it.
I uploaded a quick 3 minute PREVIEW to YouTube (it has a few clips of the special-features, it is a PRIVATE link...artwork for Discs and Cover are not yet created...but will be very "uniform" and similar to the first):
The "pre-order" price is $13.00 (+ $2.50 shipping in the U.S. and Canada OR $6.00 shipping to other Countries)
Therefore ONE copy to U.S. and Canada is: $15.50 ONE copy to other countries is: $19.00
If you are interested, feel free to PayPal: spida1@verizon.net Please put in the "notes" that this is a pre-order for Volume 2 DVD along with anything else you would like to mention.
Thanks a lot. Keep in mind, the main show will ALWAYS remain FREE on YouTube! As always, I appreciate your support of the show and friendship over the years. The gang here at PCenginefx forums are the best!

Too cool! I'm surprised $13 is enough to even cover costs. I hope it sells well.

Ha ha. Actually, I feel "guilty" charging that much. I tried to get it under 10. But, I went for higher quality Discs! I think it's worth it in the end.
Thanks for your order my friend. I hope you enjoy it. They were definitely a "nostalgic-labor-of-love." :)

I always watch your videos, so I figured I owe you a purchase. Put my pre-order in. Keep up the great reviews.

Thanks MasonSushi!! You're awesome.
Ha ha. Hey Esteban!!! How are ya'?
Hey, thanks TheClash603. Although I hate to "deter" a purchase...you don't owe me anything. ha ha. The reviews I do for myself, for the fans and for free (and they will always remain somewhere for "Free" online). When I can find the time, I REALLY enjoy it. With that said.....thanks a ton. I hope you enjoy it!! :) :)

Yo Chris! Matt here. Pre-ordered the second I got the email a few weeks ago. I can't wait man! :)
I am re-watching Vol 1 in anticipation. I can watch multiple times the Turbo CD special, where you act the way we all did when we heard about a CD based console for the Turbo Grafx, and said, "No way..." You tone and expression are freakin' hilarious IMO :lol: It never gets old hee hee.

No prob, in all seriousness though I loved the first DVD set with the cool looking menus and bonus commentaries so I can't wait to see what you did with the second.

Post by: spida1a on April 21, 2011, 03:42:50 AM
Cool, thanks Ryan. I am trying to keep things pretty "uniform." You know? So...when all "six" volumes are done, they are very similar in their design and look (similar covers, just new colors and volume number but when they're side-by-side they fit together. Same with the insert slates for each game within the DVDs, etc.). You know? Almost like a Turbo Video Encyclopedia. Ha ha.
Plus, in the end.....like ten years from now, ha ha.......my buddy who works in the industry is going to create a box so all six volumes can sit in it. And, the front will look like the Turbo box (with the TV logo in the center instead of the Grafx logo). Plus, we'll put a booklet in there with listing of all the reviews on which Disc. Of course, we might both be dead by then.....but it sounds fun. :)
It's a fun project.

Wow guys...honestly, I am overwhelmed by the wonderful support I have received about this "pre-order." There is still a little time (will probably end it mid-afternoon Monday) but I was able to secure enough to cover the costs for initial materials. This helped immensely due to the overwhelming totals of the ole' hospital bills, ha ha. Thanks so much!
I am hopefully going to have them pressed and out the door by Tuesday or Wednesday. Here is a rough-cut of the finished cover art. Thanks again guys. You're the best.
Happy TurboGrafx-ing! Chris Bucci

Is this something we can say - order a month from now? Meaning, say in June or July will there still be copies for sale?

Geez, I'm sure I've sprouted praises for his DVD series before, but I just finished watching both sets and they are AWESOME.
Chris, are you still using the same setup to capture gameplay video as was mentioned in the first set? If so, that's amazing! The captures look great, but still maintain that "TV" feel, unlike Emulators. I really like them and can't wait for the next DVD to come out. Watching them on the couch (with the "memory" commentary") is far superior to watching them on Youtube at my desk.
One other thing - have you ever considered releasing the game audio as mp3s? I'd add them to my music collection in a heartbeat. Maybe that can be an extra bonus for your next DVD.
