You mentioned that you're working on a CSLA video series for Windows. Will these videos just cover WPF, or will you also talk WinForms? And will the series have sections covering object stereotypes and data access, or will you fall back to the already-produced (and individually-available) Silverlight ones?
I purchased those two individual videos, because I'm not doing SL work yet. I found those two videos very useful in non-SL CSLA work, though I do realize that the class constructs I saw were SL-specific (i.e. in a Windows world, the code probably wouldn't be organized that way), and some of coding constructs are SL-specific (because of the async-only nature of SL). But, as has been noted, the videos translate out of the SL world very well. Seems like a bit of a gray area there - if you were to do those episodes for Windows-specific work, the content would be largely the same. And if people already bought the individual SL videos, would they get a break on the Windows series, given that it could be seen as paying for the same content twice?
I'm guessing you haven't really delved deeply into this yet, but maybe you have. Any info you can provide would be great.

I am still working out the sales model for the new series. It is quite likely that I'll do what I did with the SL series and start selling them before the series is complete with an ever-decreasing discount as I approach completion. Beyond that I don't know that I'll do specific discounts.
It looks like there could be upwards of 9 segments in this series. A set of core segments covering universally applicable topics (object design and construction, data access, security), and segments focused on different interface technologies (WPF, ASP.NET, etc). I may sell the core series as one thing, and sell the interface-specific videos as individuals. I'm sure a business-savvy person would say that's silly, but it should result in less cost to people who just want one interface video.
We're currently scheduled to film some/all of the lecture content on Sept 13, with the intent of the first 1-2 segments being online by the end of September.
