TV on DVD Bargains

[Beaker]

In case anyone hasn't got the complete DVD sets of Buffy, the Australian (Region 2 + 4 so still playable on UK players) sets are currently £16.99 each (£13.99 for S1) from cd-wow. They're the cheaper style packaging and not the original UK book-style, but at that price who give a stuff?

Damn good bargain IMO, particularly as I paid top price for most of them when they were first released!! :evil: And if you want to flog your old VHS sets....why not put an advert in the back of SFX at slightly more than the price of the DVD's, I hear they sell like hot cakes!!!! :wink:

Yup, I've picked up seasons four, five and six plus season five of Angel... marvellous stuff. I should have thought to give the group the heads' up myself!

As for the packaging... I actually prefer the digipacks rather than those feckin' books. I like to be able to remove my discs without damaging them!

I picked up Season 1-4 for £12.99 each from DVD.co.uk a few years back and then just the other wek they were £14.99 on amazon. Its all a matter of just waiting as the price of TV boxsets yo-yo's around all the time

I prefer the cheaper packaging too. My sister has all 7 seasons in the more expensive versions, and apart from costing a fortune, they don't match because season 1 had that weird foldy-outy cross packaging. :?

'tis true!

These days it's just not worth buying a TV boxset when it comes out. You only have to usually wait a couple of months before the price drops dramatically. To be honest, without getting into a big debate (I know you love these Fullard...), NO DVD boxset is worth 50 quid etc...

Exactly....Especially if you are paying the same total a month for Sky in which case its only a matter of waiting. Thats what annoys me about Trek DVD's. If they were a more reasonable price I would buy all of them without hesitation but I will not pay £40-£50 for a DVD set.

Anyone able to answer this - been looking at the limited edition of the complete collection - anyone know where to get hold of this at a cheaper price???? And it looks like the Angel complete collection is due for a re-release in october - any ideas whether it will be any different or will it just be minus the joss whedon letter?

Thanks
Tony

How can we know if we can give you a cheaper price when you haven't told us what price you can get it at?

Cheapest I know of is Sendit.com, who do the Big Box o' Buffy for £119. This is the same as getting all seven seasons individually from CD-Wow (who are no longer doing the R1 versions for £13, BTW), but it looks cooler.

Too right. And I refuse to buy these half-season sets, too.

But have you seen the price of the Farscape complete seasoners? 100 freaking quid RRP! Even in a half-price sale they'd be over the odds! And all they've done is bung the individual disc releases in a box so it's not like they save shelf space!
BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA! You can get the all-in-one sets of Buffy & Angel for that!
