Agreed. If there's one thing I hate, it's when DVD rights lapse the second I get the cash to actually buy it. I forever hate Sony for releasing a super duper deluxe Transformers animated movie, only to stop printing it in a matter of months. I don't see why SHOUT doesn't just rerelease the movie with the same features to keep it in print... but for every one that has the entire HiT/Lionsgate complete set in batches or the big set, some of us didn't get to grab it in time. It's a Frogsend that someone else got the rights to keep the property up, and not let Lionsgate let it expire... and then freak the crap out when someone posts something on Youtube.
*&^% Lionsgate.
