All eight discs are single-sided dual-layered.

Discs 1-7 contain all the episodes.
Discs 8 contain the two movies (both under 75 minutes) plus the extras.

Thanks for posting - I almost pre-ordered because I'd wanted this showed on DVD for years. Great price for release day.

Sweet. So now I have 3 Daria sets . I'll just return one to Amazon and use the second as tradebait.

Thanks Bookwo3107.

Just to play it safe I took a print out of a screen snap of their webpage with today's date.

$27.50 very nice. And all eight discs are mint.

Today turned into an expensive day for me, but I'm happy.

I think at best I've only seen half of this series and missed both TV movies.

Re: Daria - Complete Series $27.50 @ Best Buy Online

I'm laughing at everyone who wound up with multiple copies of this trying to get the best price. Isn't everyone aware by now about Amazon's pre-order guarantee? They're great with matching the best price out there on release day, and you're ultimately charged whatever the lowest price is.

My copy shipped this weekend from Amazon for $45, but since the lowest price on release day is $27.99, I know in a day or two I'll be refunded the difference. It works every time, and I don't have to scour the ads for all the big B&M stores- Amazon does it for me and matches the best price.

Of course. After my order shipped, so the pre-order guarantee no longer applies.

I ordered one from Best Buy as a blind buy. I've always heard good things about this show, though.

If you pre-ordered, you'll get the lowest price between when you ordered and the end of release day. You should see an email in a day or two about a refund for the difference.

If you like sarcasm at all, you'll likely enjoy it.

Bought it this morning from Amazon. Glad I picked it up while the price was good.

I always imagined that I'd love it, given the B&B beginnings and the positive reviews. But I watched a few clips and youtube and didn't like any of them. Maybe I just picked bad clips, but it's probably not for me. I have plenty on tap for August's Animation Challenge already.

They are good about it (and I know it's worked in my favor plenty of times!), but there are also those cases with non-mainstream releases (or these unpublished sales) that they never match and you end up paying a good chunk more. I was very surprised they matched this one (and wish I had waited to order from them instead of BB!).
