I want this too but at that price and so far no discounts I will have to wait. I'm also broke after all the sales.
Gary OS said:I'm willing to wait and see if they actually finish the series out and maybe offer one big boxed set. And yes, I realize this type of thinking might be criticized as contributing to them not finishing the series because of poor sales, but I'm just not going to invest in it without knowing they will finish it. Chicken/Egg, I know.

yep taking an 8 disk set down to 5 and a lower SRPGuy Foulard said:It's odd that they're sticking with the 5 episodes per disc formatting of the previous non-seasonal releases when they could safely do 8 per disc.
I feel like this is overselling the quality a bit: "Episodes and special features are embedded on eight (8) DVD-9 (single sided, dual layer) discs from a glass mold produced from high-quality video (from film) and audio files." Why not just skip to Blu-Ray if it's being sold as such a prestige product?

Not necessarily...if you like Gunsmoke this might be a good time to act since every volume is currently on sale at Amazon for under $20 each. They are coming out to between $30 to $40 a complete season (all the way up to season nine) with the complete first season only $14.hypnohighball said:I love Gunsmoke, too but haven't bought any of them for the same reason, too expensive. They are half season sets, so they come out to about what this Rifleman set is.
Thank you!!! I didn not know this. I went to Amazon after reading your post and ordered all the hour long episodes available so far on dvd : seasons 7 through 9. That was 6 half season sets, and my total was $121.41 with tax and free shipping. I'm a happy camper now!Not necessarily...if you like Gunsmoke this might be a good time to act since every volume is currently on sale at Amazon for under $20 each.

That's great. Glad it worked out. There are many series I've been able to take advantage of big sales on due to becoming aware of them after their initial releases and when they were more likely to be on sale. Many times due to this or another forum.hypnohighball said:Thank you!!! I didn not know this.
