Just an update of sorts:
They revealed the details for the Funimation.com exclusive version of the Cowboy Bebop bluray set, but it's kind of lame. Seemingly the only stuff that makes it special is that it's going to have special packaging made to look like a record album, and an easel to display it with. Some art cards or something too, but y'know... they're cards. That's about as "blah" an extra as you can get.
So yeah, like I said, pretty lame. You'd think for a classic series like this they'd really go the extra mile, but it seems they prefer a mundane route instead. It doesn't even come with the art books that the Amazon edition will have. Hell, it even costs less. Kinda strange for an "official site" special edition.

Whatever, I'm opting for the Amazon edition.
EDIT: Shitty balls.
Having finally seen that this one is nothing special, I went back to order the Amazon one... and they marked the "sale" price back up by twenty dollars.
What the fucking fuck, man? I waited because I just wanted to see what my options were, and now they pull this crap.
That is really, truly a giant "fuck you" to customers. Whoever ordered earlier will still get the lower price, but me? I get fucked over for being patient.
