Viz takes another step into the digital domain by offering one of it’s biggest sellers online. Naruto joins Bleach and Death Note on Direct2Drive , IGN Entertainment’s digital retail store, at the reasonable price of $1.99 an episode. It’s for windows users only right now, as it uses Mediaplayer’s DRM, but intel macs with windows emulators can run them too. Apparantly all the shows are also dub only, so if you like the watch your anime in the original japanese with subtitles, you’re going to have to stay with DVDs.
27 volumes of Naruto in a beautifully made wooden case with lots of extras. At $190, it’s cheaper than buying the volumes individually (sales/discounts not included), and you get a case to put them in to boot! Not a bad deal over all…. Truly a must for the die-hard Naruto fan! More after the break.
