I'm not going to lie about this, I am pissed that the DVD set is available through other websites before the people that were registered got their sets. Don't get me wrong I can see them selling them to retailers but not before we received our sets. I think they could have done something like Conjuring Arts does with their cards, after the 2011 EMC is over they should release the 2010 DVDs to others who were not registered for 2010. Doing it this way, IMO, would have been a little more classy and less problematic. I know what they would argue though, You have had plenty of time to watch them both live and streaming. Three problems arise from that statement. 1. As far as watching it live goes I got mandated to work double shifts all three days that weekend and I only got to see a few minutes of the stuff live. Granted others may not have been mandated but I know a ton of guys that only registered only to get the DVD set. 2. The DVD set was supposed to be shipped out to the people that registered for EMC by the end of December. So its kind of crappy that we have had to wait another 3 months to get these DVDs. 3. Streaming videos SUCKS!
As I said above the DVDs were supposed to be shipped by December. Since July 2010 there have been 2 emails from EMC regarding the DVD set. The first email was sent out toward the end of July and it stated that the DVD set would be shipped out and on our doorstep by the end of the year. The second email was sent on February 2nd that was titled, "the DVDs are almost here" and stated in the email that "Shipping is imminent." I also emailed EMC in late November to see when the DVDs would ship. I received a reply on January 18 that said, "we hope to take delivery of them (the DVD set) in the second week of February. After this they will be sent to all our members."
Seriously though, we did get access to the streaming video, had the chance to watch it live and we got the DVD set for half the price they are selling the DVD set for, but the thing that pisses me off is the fact that, in theory, I can order the DVD set from Penguin Magic and I KNOW that it will get to my house in 2 days.
