Los Angeles, CA—The Paley Center for Media announces the long-awaited DVD release of its 2008 PaleyFest Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion panel. The DVD captures the once-in-a-lifetime reunion event presented live on stage before a sold-out audience in Hollywood. A decade following the series premiere, creator Joss Whedon joins cast members Sarah Michelle Geller, Seth Green, Amber Benson, Nicholas Brendon, Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield, James Marsters, and Michelle Trachtenberg along with series writer/producers David Greenwalt and Marti Noxon for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of the most revered, iconic, and deconstructed television series of all time.

Priced at $19.95 each, the DVD is available now exclusively online at www.paleycenter.org and will also be available at the Cinerama Dome at the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood for the duration of this year’s PaleyFest09 (April 10-23). This DVD features an introduction by show creator/executive producer Joss Whedon; behind-the-scenes anecdotes by Sarah Michelle Geller, Seth Green, James Marsters, and other participating cast members; fan questions to the participating panelists; and PaleyFest08 backstage photos and video. All proceeds from the sale of these DVDs benefit the Paley Center.

Any word on wether this is region coded?

jighooligan101 | March 05, 20:13 CET

I'll ask. If its the same as the giveaway version from BestBuy, then it's R1.

zeitgeist | March 05, 20:24 CET

It's via Createspace, basically the same on-demand Amazon-owned operation Dr. Horrible used.

The One True b!X | March 05, 21:16 CET

Ordered. Also streaming preview.

The One True b!X | March 05, 21:21 CET

It says DVD-R. Those don't have a region code.

Awesome | March 05, 21:21 CET

No, but the info you burn to them might.

zeitgeist | March 05, 21:30 CET

Someone might want to tell Paley or Createspace that it doesn't appear on your credit/debit card statement as CREATESPACE the way they say (I can't remember if it's Createspace or Paley that claims this). It shows up on mine as CUSTOMFLIX LABS INC.

The One True b!X | March 05, 21:32 CET

Ordered! Can't wait!

wonderflonium | March 05, 21:49 CET

This isn't the same as the Best Buy DVD, is it? I don't remember any back stage footage.

deadbessie | March 05, 22:22 CET

Well Ill take my chances and hopefully e very happy!

jighooligan101 | March 05, 22:33 CET

For those who ordered, how much was shipping?

The website says:

We do not currently post shipping & handling rates on our website, because costs vary depending on destination, the shipping speed, and the quantity of items ordered. For exact shipping rates for your order, simply go through the checkout process on the CreateSpace website. Shipping costs will show before final confirmation of your order and before charges are made to your credit card.

But I dont want to put my credit card info "out there" to find out the shipping fee. I also assume this means it's like 12 or more dollars.

Also, anyone know about run time?

alexreager | March 05, 22:36 CET

I think the run time of the panel was about 1hr 25 mins.

Simon | March 05, 22:39 CET

I just ordered mine and shipping to Canada was $11.80.

kmb99 | March 05, 22:45 CET

Economy shipping for me was like $2.99. (And now the site won't let me log in to my account.)

The One True b!X | March 05, 22:49 CET

Yeah, the BB DVD was 85 mins.

zeitgeist | March 05, 22:51 CET

I can't bring myself to pay that for something I saw live and already have a free copy of...bonus footage or not.

10th Crew Member | March 05, 23:06 CET

I can bring myself to pay that for something I didn't see live and don't have a free copy of, bonus footage or not. ;)

The One True b!X | March 05, 23:27 CET

Thanks for the shipping feedback guys...I'd love to watch this but General Electric just got busted down to Corporal Electric... and that means every dollar will be painfully scrutinized before being spent.

At least I'm not living in Sunnydale. Here in the the real world they don't kill you, they just take your life savings and make it worthless. (going to cry now)

alexreager | March 05, 23:43 CET

b!X, I wish I knew you didn't have a copy. I have an extra one...or five...lying around. I could have sent you one.

10th Crew Member | March 06, 00:12 CET

i got free dvd coverage from BestBuy, that's enough for me :)

yosaffbridge | March 06, 00:22 CET

That's okay, I'm supporting Paley with my purchase. It's all good. Thanks for the thought, though.

The One True b!X | March 06, 00:35 CET

Ordered...eventhough I complained mightily when this was NOT offered freely.

hbojo | March 06, 01:10 CET

I'm not sure why one would somehow expect it to be offered freely.

The One True b!X | March 06, 01:16 CET

There are a lot of people who don't have a copy of this. Looks like I'm going to remain one of them. $20 + shipping is really not in my budget.

electricspacegirl | March 06, 01:29 CET

Yikes, almost $12 to Canada? Anyone from Europe order yet?

I fear this may be too much money for me to get what is basically a burned DVD-R with-a-few-extra-bells-and-whistles. Anyone know what the life-span of these dics is? I'm pretty sure they're (much) less lasting than normal factory DVD's (one of the few fears I have regarding my Dr. Horrible DVD, however nicely packaged and pressed it looks).

On the other hand: Buffy reunion DVD! It's sorta an essential purchase in some ways.

GVH | March 06, 03:15 CET

I don't think the Best Buys in Canada got the free Paley Reunion disc, I checked back when the freebie was announced. Anyone else up here check ?

I liked what was said about "The Witch". Maybe they've said that about it before, I forget. So many interviews and dissections over the years, some of it gets jumbled. With the respectful attention that was given to Amy when she did appear in the series, I'm eager to see if she'll be fleshed out better in the comics.

Kris | March 06, 03:35 CET

Adding another question to the pile -
For those that got the Best Buy DVD, did it have subtitles or closed captioning on it?

EvilFirePixie8 | March 06, 04:20 CET

Good question, EFP8. *quickly checks*. Unfortunately, it looks like the answer is no subtitles/CC on the Best Buy DVD. It's completely bare bones - the only option on the start-up menu is "Play" . . .

SoddingNancyTribe | March 06, 05:35 CET

"Unfortunately, it looks like the answer is no subtitles/CC on the Best Buy DVD."

I have to assume it's gonna be the same on the Paley DVD. That, plus the $20 price tag... Thanks, but no thanks.

QuanticoMVP | March 06, 05:45 CET

Booooo :( I agree that it's not worth it without some sort of captioning. If anyone gets their Paley DVD and it's included, please let us know.

EvilFirePixie8 | March 06, 05:55 CET

Being from Canada as well over 30 is a lot and makes me super torn since funds are tight these days. Is this worth the money? Quality-wise, unlike the other panel cams you can actually hear everything that's said right?

serenitysong | March 06, 12:35 CET

To Kris:
Best Buy Canada did offer the DVD as a bonus item if you purchased a boxset of Buffy or Angel seasons. They also sold it for $4.99 without the boxset. The item went on sale about two weeks after the American offer. I was able to get a copy at my local Best Buy in Alberta. They had about a hundred copies at the store I was in. I have not seen any other copies in the store since that time. It may be worth while asking if anymore are in stock -- hiding in a storage room. The deal was not very well advertised in the fliers or in the store at the time. Good luck with your search.

Anne 5_by_5 | March 06, 12:49 CET

just found it on amazon.com and its multi-regional woohoo!

One of Many | March 06, 15:12 CET

Where did you find it on Amazon? I see the BB Promo Disc, which is R1, on Amazon.

zeitgeist | March 06, 15:17 CET

Mine just shipped.

The One True b!X | March 06, 23:24 CET

Zeitgeist:
You need to scroll down a little further and then you'll find it. easy mistake, i did the same i had to look twice

One of Many | March 07, 15:18 CET

Mine just arrived. Already. And that was using the $2.99 economy shiping.

The One True b!X | March 09, 18:57 CET

FWIW, the top-level menu screen (if this helps anyone regarding comparing this to the Best Buy thing) has: Intro, Panel Discussion, Photos, Backstage Video, and About the Paley Center as the options.

The One True b!X | March 09, 19:11 CET

Doh, would've been cheaper to buy through Amazon, especially for Prime-ers :).

zeitgeist | March 09, 19:13 CET

The backstage video thing starts with a bunch of watching actors pose for photographers in front of Paley backdrops. It's kind of stupid, although that might be because I hate watching photogs shouting at actors to turn this way, turn that way, look over here.

The One True b!X | March 09, 19:26 CET

Can someone tell me about the extras taht are on thsi disc but not the best buy disc? Detailed please, so I know if it's worth getting.
