That us why when I like an instructor who is also producing her own dvds, I prefer to buy directly from the instructor even if a higher price. DVDs are expensive to produce and I hope they keep getting produced!

Thanks, Barb, I thought it was something like that. I buy Downloads from Jessica so I hope she gets even more from those!

She does make more from the downloads. Most of Jessica's recent releases that I purchased have been downloads. Purple player has been a lot easier to deal with now. I like having all of Jessica's workouts in one location on my ipad and it saves me time in having to make MP4s from the DVDs.

That's the only clip I found too. It's very short, but I really like the look of these. Looks like the intensity is higher than Jessica's other walking DVDs. I can't wait for my order to ship!

That's it. Not much of a clip. I will pass since I don't love walking workouts.

I'm so intrigued, but right now I walk outside. Do I think I might use these once it gets too cold to walk outside? hmmm...

OK, I'm out. The clips don't look like anything I don't have already. So relieved. I really don't need anything new right now.

I understand Jessica's motivation for selling exclusively through Amazon. But I'm not sure she realizes that a lot of her international fans who want to purchase her workouts, like me, really have no way to do so now. Amazon.com will ship certain products to Canada but not Jessica's workouts. I'm not sure why she'll allow Amazon.uk to sell her workouts but not Amazon.ca. I know that most of you will say that I can purchase her downloads but I happen to be one of the many people who have issues will Purple Player. Not to mention the fact that I happen to prefer DVDs. I felt this way after her last release, as well. I really like Jessica and her workouts but, speaking as an international fan and customer, she's really alienating me.

ETA: I was going to ask a question about Purple Player but I don't want to highjack the thread so I'm going to start another thread about that

ETAA: on the next page Sophb21 points out that Jessica's newest DVD does ship internationally from Amazon. So Jessica obviously listened to feedback from her fans so thank you, Jessica!!!
