The fact that we finally get uncut episodes of ALF. People have been complaining about this for 5 years now. The prayers have been answered :)

Wow Im very excited over this and I'm from Canada!!! That cover art looks awesome! I almost like it better then the North American cover art. Finally a full season of unedited episodes on a legal DVD release. The fact that it is a region 2 release will be a problem for me because I don't have a region 2 DVD player. I'm still very excited about this release. As I have mentioned before, I really wish Warner Bros. could have released ALF on DVD in North America.

DVD players in different countries have different region codes. In North America we are Region 1. So that means this new ALF DVD release in Germany will not work in our DVD players unless it can play Region 2 DVD's.

Not sure about computers but the Xbox 360 will not. There is a way to get it to work on 360 but I am not willing to talk about that on the forum.

As far as I know, computers (at least mine) are able to switch among region codes a limited number of times whenever you play DVDs with different region codes on it. After that, they are stuck with one region code and won't be able to play others.

Personally, I find the planned release of German "ALF Season" (original episodes) DVD interesting, but I am nowhere near ecstatic, since the DVD is not intended for USA distribution.

Yes they are. On the North American release episodes would run from 20-22 minutes. So everyone who can get a hold of this new release is getting the real deal.
