Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you're interested in lower prices you could wait until January for the North American release.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I got it from my crystal ball. Because I can predict the future, you see.

Also, since the series began airing in January 2006. The pattern Geneon has established with their North American releases says that they like to release series in North America a year after they began airing in Japan; examples of this include Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Gankutsuou, Ichigo Mashimaro and Starship Operators.

Logic strongly suggests that Fate/Stay Night will hit shelves here in January 2007.

How ya doing, buddy?

Samurai Champloo is different in that DVD 1 came out in January 2005 after airing in Japan starting in May 2004; it did, however, begin airing on Adult Swim in May 2005.

But Champloo is different in that it is a "mainstream" title for the North American market; anime with samurai and swordfighting and that stuff easily has wide appeal. Things like Fate/Stay Night, while sure hits, have a more restricted market; anime fans in general and Type-Moon fans will buy Fate, but Geneon can't count on casual fans who'll buy DVDs after seeing it on CN and liking it there. That strategy would require it being aired on CN to begin with, which isn't overly likely.
