Bandai Visual hilarity (?)

Bandai Visual Japan announced today that Amazon.com will release the Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn) Vol.1 Blu-ray with a two-month exclusive window in North America under the “Honneamise” label. Amazon.com will be taking pre-orders starting on January 10 with a street date of March 12, 2010 at a SRP of $49.98.
[...]
The Blu-ray will feature Episode One with Japanese and English TrueHD 5.1 and Japanese and English Dolby Digital 2.0 audio with a 16:9 / 1080P High Definition transfer. Subtitle tracks will include Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Chinese (in both Cantonese and Mandarin).

Granted, the episodes are 50 minutes each, but really, Bandai? $49.98 SRP for the equivalent of two episodes? Have you seriously not learned your lesson?
