Viz Rereleases Naruto Part 1 in new Boxsets

Ah excellent, now I'm all the more glad I didn't bother buying beyond the Zabuza arc. Now I can just pick up with the second set and I'll be good to go.
 
Yes but it doesn't negate the fact that they're doing it now. We all know Viz could have put out Naruto cheaper than they did but they are in the business of making money.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have done this in the first place because they should have but I could say the same of a ton of FUNimation shows. Yu Yu Hakusho anyone? The fact that it was released too expensively at first doesn't negate the fact that it's now quite affordable in the 4 set release.
 
And that's ultimately how I finally finished YYH, in that box set release. I couldn't afford it until then nor was I able to stay awake until 4:30 in the morning to view it that way.

I will likely finish collecting Naruto this way as well.

I'm not expecting 26-52 episode series to be released this way. That's unfair to the distributor. In that case I'm expecting 13-episode releases.

But for something that goes on for hundreRAB of episodes 26-episode boxsets would be nice, thank you very much. The fact that Viz is releasing Shippudden singles still baffles me as there's no TV deal in sight.
 
Twice the episodes for 2/3 the price of the original uncut box sets? Now that's a good deal there.

I'm wondering how exactly the seasons are going to be broken up.
