It's nice to see some kind of release after all these years. Hopefully we will get an anamorphic widescreen version this time, unlike what they did with Season 1. I will not buy these disks without that "feature". Still, the price is a bit higher than I would justify for a DVD-R release...

For those of you wondering if the HOTSTUFF free gift code was worth using, I can clearly say that it is not worth the trouble. I ended up with a New York Jets embossed UNO card pack in a helmet shaped case. Be sure to use one of the extra savings codes instead as I have to assume that most...

The free gift via HOTSTUFF will appear on your emailed receipt if you entered the code. You can confirm that the code was accepted on the Final Order Review page (just before you complete the checkout) by clicking on the ADD button next to where it says Coupon or Discount in the Order Summary...

The sale looks to be off and running on a Thursday evening as usual. The HOTSTUFF code worked without a hitch for me (though the usual lag to get the confirmation email is in place).

All I know is that I was a little surprised to see Season 1 on backorder at Deep Discount this past November. Luckily, they were able to get me a copy about a week later. Looks like I timed my purchase perfectly. A reissue would be helpful to improve the packaging durability and to redo the...

Meanie. :) Thanks Mike. I didn't know that this set was coming out and would be happy to upgrade the quality of my copies of the 1998 NLCS Game 2 game, the Wood 20K game, and Sosa's 61 and 62 HR game while getting the legendary 1984 games as a bonus. I just wish that they would have presented...

It appears that Deep Discount DVD is following this sale as well as they have many of the same titles for similar prices right now. Some are slightly cheaper once shipping is added while some are ~$5 cheaper (Avengers '67 Set 4 for $14.97). It probably would be best to check both before making a...

The film company in question is Disney/Touchstone. The more recent reports state that they have hired Gregor Jordan to make the movie for release in 2007, but there is no sign of any filming starting soon. The Season 1 DVD set was released in violation of that option with Disney, but no one at...

DVD Price Search's database does suggest to me that DDD might have done a few price alterations this afternoon. DDD are selling Doctor Who (2005): Series 1 for $74.99 right now, but DVD Price Search lists their price as $71.48. With the 20% discount, I can't argue with the $59.99 price (kills...

Here you go Bob. In short, it is a format for Playstation Portable (PSP) handheld gaming machines. http://digitaltoys.consumerelectroni...e.jsp?id=32069

It is nice to see that Best Buy did decide to have a special price for Dream Theater: Score for its debut Tuesday (thanks Patrick). Of course, I assumed that they weren't going to do that, so I ordered in online for a few bucks more. Oh well, it was an amazing concert to see in person and one...

This should help. Can't say that I see anything I would buy, but someone might find a few desirable nuggets from J&R's pile. http://www.jr.com/JRSectionView.proc...romos/movie16/

Most likely. We know that letterboxed masters were made since those were shown on Cartoon Network. Warner would just have to ask for those recordings, then encode them. I don't know of any evidence stating that any anamorphic widescreen masters were made for that whole season. That would mean...

Hmmm... MGM.com's database only has the old release listed. Their "Coming Soon" section goes to the end of April with no mention of Wanda at all. It looks like the 3/14 release date is not going to happen. Oh well, I have waited 6.5 years for an anamorphic release, so I am getting used to these...

This would be an excellent time for Fox to fix some of the errors and omissions of the original releases (i.e. adding the recap back to "The Gift", making "Once More With Feeling" anamorphic widescreen, etc.), but that is probably a bit too much to hope for in a simple repackaging situation...

With the demise of North American DVD, there really doesn't seem to be much competition with Amazon.ca anymore for us Yanks. The only place I know about that is coming anywhere close to their price on this set is strangely Who North America (based in Indianapolis) who have some of the Canadian...

Outpost.com has been around for many years and are a pretty solid ecommerce store. They have been a little inadequate about the amount of packing material used in the past (at least for a few of my orders), but I think that was a momentary hiccup. Be aware that if you live in a state which has a...

Sorry for the very late post, but I decided to let this DVD set be on my Christmas list. Overall, the episodes look and sound reasonably good. The picture seems rather soft for something labeled as "Mastered in High Definition", but there are very few film flaws. On the surface, these seem to be...

Besy Buy appears to have quietly put this week's Doctor Who releases at an even better sale price than was listed on their website Sunday. City of Death is available for only $22.49 and The Claws of Axos is only $20.69. The price for the former is astounding (besting Amazon by about $2). Sadly...

Adding to Mike's excellent database: Doctor Who: City of Death: Amazon $24.49 | Best Buy $24.99 | Circuit City $24.99 Doctor Who: The Claws of Axos: Amazon $17.49 | Best Buy $22.99 | Circuit City $19.99 Thanks as always guys!

Man, this thread has made me paranoid. I made it to Antipas tonight and noticed around the 22:00 mark of the episode that Frank turns around and lips the word "What?", but the sound is inaudible. Had to drag my syndication copy out to make sure that this was a flaw in the broadcast master. It...

According to the master list at TVShowsonDVD.com only Ascension and Redux II (Season 5) are missing the proper taglines, but I seem to think that there was another episode in either Season 3 or 4 that was mastered incorrectly as well. Since the next set in my reviewing cycle is Season 8, it will...

Agreed. Thanks Travis for removing all doubt, though Fox did muck up a few Ten Thirteen disks (special taglines missing in a few important X-Files episodes, the atrocious master used for "Triangle", etc.). It does look like all of the Millennium episodes are in good shape (though I still need to...

Travis, I would still politely request that you look around for your original broadcast copy if you get the time. There may have been a circumstance that the scene was deemed too violent after the first airing and was edited for all future broadcasts. The only simple way to trim a scene with...

My original broadcast VHS tape copy is long gone, but I still have an unedited syndication copy of "Roosters" in my possession. The audio track there is identical to the one on the DVD. The Wagner music becomes inaudible as Lara walks up the steps. As the camera pans down to the tape recorder...

To my eyes, the film suffered in respect to two things. One was that they decided to follow the framework of the novels, which was a problem in that the first book had no climax. It just sort of ended at decent jumping-on point for the second book, which was Douglas' intent at that point. This...

The show was shot on Digibeta (not film) at 25i IIRC, which makes things a touch tricky for us here. Most likely with your equipment, the Region 2 disks are going to be a good choice thanks to the higher resolution of the PAL format and the lack of conversion artifacts (which really aren't much...

Thanks as always for the list, Mike. Just one tiny glitch that I see. My Best Buy store's online ad lists a $39.99 price for the Millennium Season 3 set (and apparently, so does Patrick's ad). BB may have started playing with regional pricing, but it looks more likely that the daunting list of...

Bill, it is too bad that you don't have a Best Buy near you (unless you feel like treking to Fort Collins). It looks like they might be undercutting Amazon like they did with Season 2. The online price is $39.99 at the moment. It would be nice if FYE's online prices matched those of their retail...

Good to see. I was getting a bit concerned since no studio should be avoiding publicity for a DVD set 2.5 weeks before the release date. To my eyes, Fox has not been taking significant care with many of their TV sets this year (overcompression on Wonderfalls and The Lone Gunmen, the return of...
