Anyone going to pick this one up?

I am thinking about it, but as the song says, "money's too tight to mention", so it might have to wait till later.

Go here for more details:

I most certainly am getting it, but I'll be waiting untl the R1 set comes out [ R2 in Oct, R1 in Nov 2002]. I can play R2's on my DVD and computer, but This series I'm playing holdout unless the US bails and doesn't complete it. I ordered them prerelease from Amazon with a discount code I got off of Warner Bro's BBS. I think I comes to $62 US or so counting S&H.

Rowan< who's finishing up Stargate and Farscape in R2 so she at least has them...

Rowan, goto DVD Soon. I went and checked the price for the reg 1 version, including posting to England it's going to cost you just under £40

.

Oh and HMV are doing Stargate DVD's for £10 each

Thanks, Triffid! I'm always up for adding a new DVD supplier to my list. :} That's a great price and I'll probably go ahead and cancel my Amazon order and go with them. I see they also have a pre-order on 'Due South', another fav of mine.

As for HMV - they were the only ones who listed Michael Shanks' movie 'Suddenly Naked'. It's on it's way to me as we speak.

I really enjoyed watching this DVD set.. it's been a while since I watched B5 properly, as it is now showing on Bravo in the UK, which I don't get.

The DVDs are great, well produced and packaged etc, well worth it if anyone hasn't already got them

Rowan · 14th February 2003, 04:08 PM

I'm happy with mine and eagerly awaiting the S2 release.

My hubby got me this set for Christmas and I love it. So when does season 2 come out any way? I can't wait

:blpaw:

Rowan · 21st February 2003, 04:37 PM

I found this on a UK DVD board:
==================================
You should probably take this as rumour at the moment as I haven't seen anything official. Several sources however are stating that Season 2 is due for release on 29th April 2003 and special features are listed as:

Introduction by producer/creator J. Michael Straczynski and various cast members
2 episode commentaries by producer/creator J. Michael Straczynski
Episode commentary by cast members Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian and Jerry Doyle
Building Babylon: Blueprint of an Episode featurette
Shadows and Dreams: Honors of Babylon featurette
The Universe of Babylon 5 data/tech/personnel files
Babylon 5 Timeline
Original episode promos
======================================

I also see the same confirmation on the Warner Brothers BBS.

Someone said that DeepDiscountDVD.com is taking advance orders, but I don't that for sure.

Just came from deepdiscountdvd.com and they *are* taking pre-release orders for the S2 full set for region 1. It's $74.99 US.

Mariel · 22nd February 2003, 03:34 AM

ooooooooo *jumps up and down a few times* Your right, it is gonna be released on April 29th. I looked at Amazon and it's $74.99 there too and they are offering free shipping too.
I CAN'T WAIT!! :rolly2:

Hang on, all -

I've heard that the season 1 DVD set is nothing more than a cheap lift from video, and that the quality is pretty below standard.

I figure if buying the DVD, it's worth having digital DVD quality, not video.

Any comments?
