I just ordered mine also! Hope it does not take too long to arrive. I am moving away from the country so it may end up sitting at my parents place for a while till I can see it :( Hope I can download it if that is the case.

As much as I want to buy this right now, I just can't afford it. :-(
If it could help me as much as BBB entertained me, (Best DVD purchase of the year), I'm sure it will be money well spent.

In the meanwhile I'm confused about the CC thing. Does that mean that anyone could redistribute the DVD at no charge? I apologize for my ignorance on that, it just seems … bizarre to me that it could be legal. And if it were what would a common distribution channel be? A series on youtube perhaps?

I guess I'll poke around and see what my friend google tells me.

joeri, there is plenty of people here who would gladly buy this at half price, but like me don't want to spend $37.40 (USD) I hate that people are so ignorant with their prices, for they WOULD make more money if they would LOWER their prices, (this isn't the only thing I'm talking about) also, having such high prices for these training DVD's defeats the purpose of having an open source program in the first place. It would be much more reasonable to have it lower-priced. You underestimate the size of the blender community, and even economics. I'm sure he has gotten plenty of profit, and would get MORE if the price was LOWER.

"If you think 30 euro is expensive and know the price could be lower because everybody wants this dvd, then just find somebody who also wants this dvd and buy it together. And copy it. Its released under cc 3.0 making copies legal. That cuts down the price in half immediately, something very hard to do by the blender institution by pushing up the volume."

I disagree. I personally DON'T know anyone within a radius of a few HUNDRED miles whom I could convince to collaborate in this way, and am sure that I am not the only one. Also, generally, this is a real problem, and mostly, this isn't a legal possibility.

Is this DVD targeted towards a more experienced user? I've been getting pretty comfortable with Blender for a few weeks now.(For some reason after 4 years of picking it up and putting it down, it's finally clicked) I'm kind of in noob/intermediate limbo where I'm starting to venture into more complicated things. Also, I'm more interested in mechanical animation and robot stuff and not so much the organic right now. Would this DVD be right for me?

That's a very impressive, if not inspirational trailer!
