We've had season one on DVD in the UK for a while now. Why were the US region one discs delayed for so long?

It�s not just Buffy, it�s something that we deal with on all our TV shows in the US.

When a network creates a TV show, the normal path for that property to create revenue is for it to have its run on network television, and then they�d sell it into syndication and then it would be released to home video.

In most instances, people are unwilling, or they don�t like the idea of releasing a complete season of a show on DVD or into the home entertainment market before they�ve sold it into syndication. So there was an issue with Buffy that season one hadn�t gone into syndication yet and we had to wait until they�d sold that into syndication before releasing it on DVD.

But now we�ve got the first season out, we�re hoping to follow with seasons two, three, four in more of a timely manner.
