You don't know how lucky you are.
The Farscape sets in Britain cost a FORTUNE compared to what you're paying,
For my seasons one and two, I paid about £45 each - which works out at about $90. This was from Amazon during a MASSIVE sale. I'd like to get season 3, but the generic price stands round about the £85 mark - a staggering $170. The full MRSP is actually £100 ($200).
You'll forgive me if I'm not overly sympathetic to your situation. Envy would be a better description.

I didn't quote you until your post prompted me to offer information relevant to the special features.

BTW - ADV films do occasionaly go on special for 20% off here: http://www.rightstuf.com/
They're currently doing a Viz promo right now, but about twice a year they do an ADV special. (And even better - if you get a Gotanime membership, you get 30% off instead of 20%. It costs 12 bucks to sign on, but pays for itself pretty quickly if you get several discs. And dropping a hundred bucks on one order gets you free shipping too).

DVD Talk Gold Edition
Someone told me that the starburst editions had MORE special features than the previous versions. I found this thread, but there hasn't been any definitive answer to whether or not the starburst editions have any additional special features at all?!?!?

Hi, I've only seen a couple of episodes of Farscape, and have been eyeing the season sets for a while. With the new Starburst editions coming out, I'm sold!
Also, this thread has got to be one of the funniest I've read in some time.
They really should include a copy of it on one of the dvds for a later Starburst edition as another "special feature."
