My Favorite Martian - season 3 has a Bonus Disc (1 Viewer)

[Firebee]

With various discounts including a B&N membership I got it for $24.53 shipped.

That's pretty good...will be interesting to see if you get the same thing most of us paid in the mid-$70s for. Galling, but interesting all the same.

Hopefully I'll have it by mid week to see exactly what set this is. Since B&N is a reputable store I'm certain I'll get something. For a new DVD release it certainly is a mystery because of lack of information from anyone with any knowledge.
Does the Australian set have a UPC code? I noticed the ones listed at B&N and DVDEmpire differ. Here are what they have listed that I copied.
UPC: 3000000063545
UPC Code: 603497044429

This is what is in my DVD Profiler: 000000-063545 (DVD)

Thanks! The UPC code listed at B&N is almost an exact match to the Australian set but it is most likely incorrect because it has 13 digits instead of 12. I have a feeling they are selling the Australian set because the codes are the same if you drop the 3.

And, if this is the Aussie set...you're going to get it for about two-thirds of what we paid for it...

 

[BrianP]

Wow! I wonder what it is costing B&N to import it? Even if you pay the price listed on their web site it is much cheaper than buying it direct from Australia, and they also have a bunch of coupons available that will save more. So far they are the only store I have seen that claims to have gotten some copies in stock. Did anyone else get a email claiming their orders shipped yet?

 

[BrianP]

Received an email update on the latest news regarding the season 3 release this afternoon. Okay it appears there is not a competing release from another studio. So if B&N is shipping these it has to be the import from Australia. If they are selling imports I wonder how long they will do it, and if the price will go up?

I got one from FYE - an email, that is. But there's no shipment tracking info yet and, so far, they haven't charged my credit card. Also, they no longer list the DVD at their site (though I happened to have a residual link to the page that was listing it and it now says the DVD has been "discontinued".)
Amazon still lists it and gives the wait time as 3-6 weeks, down from 5-8 weeks.

Yeah, I just saw that, too...I'd be curious to know if you actually get a shipping notification.

Well it does appear they are going to ship something since the email claims it is packed and ready to go. There is an actual tracking number for the package and it appears valid when I checked it over at UPS. It even has the weight of the package. I copied the email below I received with some personal information removed. If this is someone's idea of a joke at B&N they certainly have me fooled at the moment.

Goodluck with your order. If you get anything or not let us know.

I just got it. It's the Umbrella Entertainment one. It's in a thick plastic case (which unfortunately was chipped, presumably during delivery) with the words "Complete Third Series" and "In Full Colour" on top, with a UPC of 3 000000 063545 on the back next to the Umbrella logo.
It's going to be a gift so I haven't opened it. I wouldn't dare return it (due to the chipped side) unless I had a replacement in hand.

Thanks for the update. I would assume I'll get the same thing. I'll probably have to wait until at least Wednesday until I receive mine. Hopefully it won't have any damage or defects since I would anticipate getting a replacement will not be easy, or impossible if online stores quit listing it for sale. However so far you can still order it at B&N with a 1 to 2 week wait time.

 

[Firebee]

Well, that stinks for those of who sprang for the higher prices being charged for the Umbrella Entertainment sets from Australia that others are getting the same set for far less...oh well...I'm just glad that I have S3 in hand, finally, after Rhino abandoned it. Frankly, after re-watching some S1 episodes, I can't say that the picture and sound quality on the Rhino sets are that bad...I have a Sony Bravia 46-inch LCD TV, after all, and the picture looks fine...and yes, I'm hearing-impaired, but I'm not noticing all sorts of distortion or whatever on the audio including dialogue or special effects. Yes, neither of the S1 or S2 sets seem to have had any extras, at the time, I was just happy to have them in hand (and still am).
