I guess ;3; But then they should just buy the original DVDs. Anyway, most of us download HQ subtitled DVD rips from the internet anyway, so no one would buy an American released subtitled DVD. I am a fan of dubs, and I feel as if I am supporting the creator via paying for the episodes rather than downloading them illegally.

And I don't think that price difference would be much, if anything at all :/ I think the issue is more to do with licensing, I'm not sure what the rules are with just releasing subtitle only DVDs.
