Well played, Kurtz.
PvP: The Animated Series is going to debut February 1, 2007. Unlike the strip site, users are going to have to pay subscribe to the animated material - $20 buys you the first season of 5-6 minute animated episodes. This is an interesting gamble for Kurtz - his audience has gotten material with these characters at no cost for years, and I'm curious to see if they'll switch to a pay model for an in-motion version of the strip.
It looks fairly slick and the voice work is certainly professional (I think they nailed Brent,) but I'm going to wait for the inevitable DVD release, much like I do with Adult Swim programs. I'm part of the old guard in this way; if I spend money on entertainment, I want a physical product. Emusic skates by with a clause that allows companies that offer non-DRM'd, high-quality MP3s that I can do whatever I want with to get special dispensation.
