Hmmm... good point. What's available in the UK?

Good Lord, what did I start?

Don't get that version - from what I've heard, there may be special features, but not in English. |
I have good news on this issue! It just so happens I have Starburst vol 1 sitting in front of me as I type this. Now it's for a charity auction here at work, so I can't open it :mad:, but I can check out the case.
On the front we have Season One, blah, blah, blah, Farscape, Starburst Edition, blah, blah, blah. No stickers announcing special features or anything. Moving on to the back. Let's see... "TV's most inventive sci-fi adventure"... Like a Varken out of Hezmana, blah, blah, blah, 7 episode on 2 double-sided duds, blah, blah, blah, A drenload of extras, blah, blah, blah, credits and such further down, legal text, dolby digital, CC, etc. Well, that didn't help much. :blush: -confused- But there is two web sites listed! Maybe they'll have some answers. Looks like www.farscape.com and www.advfilms.com. Perhaps someone could do a little leg work here and report back? |

Now if I could just figure out what "drenload" means. The truth is out there and soon someone, somewhere will confirm if there's special features. |
Mike:
While you are looking up "drenload", I have been searching for "quid". Why can't the English call a buck a buck? :) John |
I finally ordered this last week. Blind buy. Hopefully the special features will be worth it.

If the English can use a truncated word for a species of sea life, I can use a sci-fi word for dollar. |
I just used Babelfish on the description of the UK 'extras' (it was written in Swahili). It came back with: ho thye amd ehime dit it.
That isn't English, is it? |
:rofl:

What on earth do you consider 'special features'. For me its anything outside the actual feature. All of the R1 versions, Standard (11 keep cases), Season set (5 dual keep cases) and Starburst (3 keep case, two sided dvd) have 'Special Features' included. Commentaries on half of the shows. Makeup test, behind the scenes and such. The difference is that if you brought the first set they were over $20 each x11 (est $220), second group, the season box set (est $85) and the Starburst Vol 1,2 and 3 (est $45). The later issue, Starbust has the most features because they were created after the first group went for sale. Don't forget the 'PEACEKEEPER WARS' for about $15 to tie up the end.

All I know is that Kubrick must be rolling in his grave by now. Damn Pepsi! :mad: |

I wish they would make some kind of announcement instead of keeping us all in the dark. |
