You know those brilliant ideas that once you hear it you’re shocked no one’s done it already? One of those just happened. THR is reporting that beginning today, [adult swim], a block of television programming which lured convention into its van with candy and stole its innocence, is allowing fans to take different episodes from different series and mix and match them into 110 minutes of DVD glory. You also get to choose what kind of art you want for the box, disc, menu, title, and then [adult swim] will put it all together and ship it to you. The cost? 20 dollars. Digital downloads are great but being able to pop in a disc full of your favorite episodes or loan it to friends is a pretty damn cool idea.
The service launches with 100 episodes available to choose from but by the end of the year you’ll be able to choose from over 1,000 episodes from more than 30 series. Head over to AdultSwimShop.com to start building your all-killer, no-filler DVD.

What an amazing idea. After all, they are still selling episodes at the end of the day, so their profits should be about the same or very close to it. This might actually convince people to buy more than they would otherwise. I know I am intrigued by this. Only thing is, it hurts the exploration of other shows. Maybe they will have a ranking of “top picked episodes” so we can see what other people are picking and maybe go off that?
Either way, Cartoon Network, you win. Now give me back my cartoons during the day.

If I can get Megas XLR, that one barbarian pilot episode (Korgak or something?), and anything else that hasn't been released and/or shown on tv for a while, this could be quite excellent
