You can get 1.1, 1.2 and 2.1 for $6.99 each at bestbuy.com - even with shipping, I think it's a great deal. That's how I started. Then I used other deals from this forum, like the $5 off coupon for familyvideo.com here (this may have expired) and the Google deals (see the thread for the $10 off $10 for new users posted today in this forum here ). I haven't collected them all yet, but I'm getting there!

Unfortunately, in this case the season box sets have less features than the subsequent Starburst reissues--which are $6.95 plus any tax shipped at DVDPlanet with the current GCO promotion, and thus about the same price per season anyway.

An extra commentary track here and there, and the odd (sometimes fairly substantial) featurette added, as I recall. The original releases were already pretty respectably filled, really. But considering it shouldn't be hard to get from selling the old season sets the cost of a three-Starburst season, it might be worth it.

but if I'm trying to collect all the special features, then I'd have to double dip to accomplish that goal, right?
BTW, who do they have doing the extra commentary tracks?

It's been a bit since I sold my original sets, but I believe the Starburst sets are cumulative; you're not losing anything in the transition to them.
Unless you have the box sets. In that case you lose the box.
Which actually bugged me, but is ultimately minor in the standard ADV jerk-around, I suppose...

Here's how they are listed:
Farscape 1: Starburst Edition (2 disk)
Farscape 2: Starburst Edition 2 (2 disk)
Farscape 4: Starburst Edition 2.1 (2 disk)
However, I can verify that even though bustbuy.com describes the sets as the 2 disk versions they actually ship the 4 disk versions! Shipping was fast and they arrived in perfect condition. My total with shipping and tax for the 3 sets was $28.45 for an average of $9.48 each. It's a great way to get started collecting Farscape!

I wound up sending the 6 volumes of starburst from seasons 1-2 back to ADV to exchange the 2-disc version for the 4 discs.
I had already watched them, but figured the next time i do I'd like to avoid the problems i had the first time around.

As for the best deals on Starbursts, I used a combo of bestbuy.com and deepdiscountdvd.com.
If you're in Canada, Exyte.com is your best bet.
