Spaced coming to DVD on July 23, 2008
No word yet on details, but Edgar Wright confirmed that his BBC series is finally hitting DVD on July 23.

We’ve got some good news and bad news for you devoted “Spaced” fans out there. Die-hard fans of all things Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg know that there was indeed life before “Hot Fuzz” and “Shaun of the Dead” and it was called “Spaced.”
Only 14 episodes long, the unconventional sitcom launched the careers of both and spawned a devoted following that’s been hoping, praying, nay begging, for a DVD release here in the United States. Well, mark your calendars. The date is July 23, 2008, and that info came to us exclusively from none other than Wright himself.

I will pick it up to finally get an R1 version, I hope they can throw something extra on it. This show needs a Christmas special.
I wonder if the Star Wars music will be intact.

Fuck yes.
I've been waiting for an R1 release, my brother has been waiting for it (although he's been making do with downloaded episodes), and my friend Alisha has been waiting for it.
Now just as long as all the original music is kept, I'm definitely in.

I was so excited to see this thread I let out a girly yelp that really alarmed my wife. Once I explained my reason for such joy she still didn't really understand or care.
It'll be nice to replace my VCDs with real DVDs. I could never justify buying a region free player for just this show so I am glad I can finally compensate those involved by purchasing the real thing.

I suppose the big question will be if all the original music is included. I know rights issues/licensing fees were the major stumbling block for getting Spaced across the pond, but Wright also said he was adamant about keeping the original tracks as he felt (rightly) they were integral to the episodes.
I picked up the R2 CE a few years back, and it's one of my favorite purchases of my collection. Really, if you're a fan of Spaced or Wright and Pegg's work, the ton of great extras that come with that set aren't to be believed.
