Looks like Paramont finally let go and made official price drops on all seasons of Voyager. You can get some of these sets on BN.com in the B2G1F sale.

Only 1,4, and 5 are part of the sale. They are each at the new $70 retail price. The other seasons are on sale for 10 or 15% off, but not part of the B2G1F sale...

Bought season 1 at Columbia House last night for $46.47 shipped, and got Across the Universe (2 disc) for free using B1G1 code. They have all seasons and also Deep Space Nines for $38.48 plus 7.99 shipping.

I think the OP means that the retail price has dropped from $130 to $70 on all seven seasons. All four seasons of Enterprise have dropped to $70 as well.

kenbenobi

Yes, I understand that. But the OP also said "You can get some of these sets on BN.com in the B2G1F sale." My comment was simply clarifying that sentence... I edited my comment to say "the new $70 retail price." I wasn't trying to dispute the price drop. I was just stating which titles were included in the B2G1F sale...

Hmm, that's a crappy price for R1 sets. You can get each season from R2 UK for about 30 bucks, plus they've got more bonus features. I know the packaging is different, but it really isn't worth paying twice as much for.

lena

Lenny, I'm glad you brought that up - I've been trying to figure out the differences between the R2 UK versions and the R1. Sounds like you would recommend them over R1, eh?

critterdvd

Except a lot of people don't like buying R2 sets. My biggest quam with them is that a) you have to go through the trouble of getting/setting up a region free player and b) you can only play your DVDs on that single player, and c) for some reason or another but paying that much for shipping really bugs me - even if it's still a great deal...

dvdfansub

The R2 versions of Voyager that price around $30 US equivalent is the slimline edition. not exactly the same tho..

Sparrow

At $70 List, these are great prices for this series for my significant other! He insists that this is the best ST series to date, so I'll definitely welcome the price drop.

These make for an ideal birthday gift!

$ 325.68 on DD http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewprod...ductId=5781589 or $260.54 after 20% off sale.

Enterprise has now dropped to a decent $148.88 after 20% also. Wish I had gotten it for $25 from that Wal-mart screw up a while back but oh well.

lisadoris

I've been waiting for a price drop on these sets. If DD has a 20% sale in the spring I'll pick up the entire run.

Lenny Nero

Heh, I thought that after NINE years everyone's got a region free player, even in US (they were on every corner in Europe on the second year of the format, early 2000).

Yeah, I'd recommend R2 sets for all seasons and all series of Star Trek. If you don't mind the slim amarays over big ugly plastic boxes of R1 and have a PAL compatible TV (or a converting PAL to NTSC region-free DVD player).
Check out DVDCompare.net for details on actualy which special features are where and why R2 is better.

lena

Thanks for the info Lenny - that's what I needed. I've got plenty of R2 discs, and no - I don't mind giving up the big ugly plastic boxes!

ButchW

Man, as bad as this series was, they should be paying me to take these disks off their hands.

jeffbase34

Give em to me then I loved the series especially season 4!

WMAangel

My biggest reason against getting R2 releases is the whole PAL speedup issue....I just can't stand the music and voices being up a pitch, makes everything sound too wonky to me....
Back in the day, I had the UK sets for Angel and Buffy before they were released in the US (my favorite shows and I couldn't wait)....I was more than happy to sell them off on Ebay and get the correct sounding presentations as they became available here....I think Xander had it the worst, sounded like he had suffered some permanent testicular trauma with his voice that much higher...

obispo21

The entire Voyager Season 1-7 set has now dropped to $260.54 at both Deep Discount and DVD Planet.

I bought it 2 weeks too early and paid an extra $80! Ahh well.

My least favorite Trek - some shows are just painful to watch, but there are still some gems and $260 is a great deal.

I had some problems finding it at DVD Planet (their search engine seems a little finicky)... so here's the actual URLs...

nice - really looking forward to this... 20% off sale and i am totally in.

BackStJoe

I'd put Voyager ahead of Next Gen and DS9...it's second only to TOS.
Loved it, glad to have them all on DVD!

indy81

There's a Paramount sale at DD, so I wouldn't expect that price to last until the next 20% off sale.

drmoze

You can pick up a Coby player (for example) at Amazon for about $30. Has a small form factor (convenient as a 2nd player) and the code for making it region-free is right in the reviews. Handles PAL, has progressive scan output, etc. (The remote is lame, but it's a cheap and easy way to play DVDs from other regions.)

MickM

I just called - this is not a temporary sale, it's the new standard price. The guy also said the next 20% off sale should be in a couple months. At that point ($208) I'm in :-).

pagansoul

At Amazon you can get 1-7 set for $378 which is $54 per season while DDD has it for $260 which is $35 each. I don't think you will find it much better than that new.

SRGilbert

I see that Enterprise has also come down to a reasonable price as well. I might have to pick up the series set when the next sale comes around, $29 buck a season is hard to beat.

I hated how when the series aired that it was in letterboxed widescreen, but not in HD! That, and my UPN affiliate had the crappiest signal quality over my cable. It would be great to rewatch the series in anamorphic widescreen!
