The odd thing is that Best Buy owns Future Shop, so one might expect their prices to be more in line with each other. Here in Saskatoon, they recently cleared some DVD space for a dedicated HD section (both formats). Selection is pretty good, though prices do tend to be high. Previously, the...

This, along with King Kong, was my reason for taking the HD DVD plunge. I can't wait to see it in hi def! What an upgrade it should be from the Criterion laserdisc! I've had the collector's set on preorder since it was finally listed at Amazon. It looks oh so very cool. :)

I've been using Amazon.com for my HD DVD purchases, as they have better prices than Amazon.ca. When it comes to SD DVDs, I comparison shop between the two stores. I've held accounts at each store for some time. Sometimes the US version gives the better deal, and sometimes .ca gets the nod. But...

I was disappointed in the video quality. Not just the SFX shots, either--- regular scenes appeared overly compressed to me. Some scenes were "OK", others looked kind of yucky but still basically watchable. However, while my enjoyment was slightly impaired, I wouldn't have given up the chance to...

I wouldn't lose hope. The last season of the original show just came out a few weeks ago! Give 'em a chance. I would guess that Flintstones Comedy Hour is on the radar for the future, but there are lots more H-B shows that may get priority.

Note: Canadians can use code WMWKCA236 for 15% off. (I got the code when I signed up for their newsletter. It expires on Oct. 19.). I placed my order last week. Can't wait! These sets look great. Still pricey to get all at once, but they do have the installment plan. My total came to...

I bought Season 1 despite knowing of it's infamy, largely due to wanting to see a S2 release. I think WHV knows that S1 is not as popular with Super-fans, so I'm hoping they'll still take a chance on S2. They may just be holding off due to all the other Superman product coming out later this...

I'm looking forward to getting HKP, and should have it Monday. I ordered it online after finding that the b&m prices couldn't match a certain online retailer. I found HKP at WalMart, but they didn't have Magilla (maybe ran out of shelf stock that day), while Future Shop had lots of both. I did...

On the other hand, I actually live near where this show is made, and I just don't get it at all! :) It's a big hit with lots of other folks around here, though.

Good question. It came out in Canada (I reviewed it for DVDtoons), but apparently never appeared in the US. I figured that maybe WHV decided to hold it for the Season 6 set, which could have made sense, but it doesn't look like it's going to be there either. Sorry, I wish I knew more.

I agree. Deanna is very lovely. Presumably, Land of the Giants will get consideration based on how well the current Irwin Allen sets are doing, in addition to the perceived amount of interest. With Time Tunnel all out now, Giants is likely being discussed.

Actually,Tory is right. That would be exactly the type of thing that the studio could use to judge the market for an X-Men set. You may not think it a wise decision, and I would not argue against that point, but it is only natural that sales of one Marvel superhero team DVD set would be used as...

Get Smart is about the only comedy (non-animated) that I had been wanting for my collection, thanks to the superspy elements... and, uh, Agent 99. I watched this show faithfully after school for years, but haven't seen it in ages. This looks to be a great collection of sets, judging by the...

I picked up the first volumes of both Time Tunnel and VTBOS with the recent Amazon deal, and had to say thanks to everyone on the boards for speaking so highly of the shows and the sets. I'm enjoying the heck out of both of them!

I never mind it when a studio takes the time to do it right. I *love* the Season 1 set (too bad about a few edits there, but overall the shows look great, and the subtitle fact track is terrific).
