That does suck,i figure i will just Netflix the old sets if i end up not being able to wait for the new Starbursts to come out.

Nah, I still believe that each release of each season will be released every other month. Why the 3 month difference between these last two, I don't know.

Now as for the Andromeda releases, it's been every other month all through-out the schedule, but because the 5th and final season isn't done airing yet, I'm thinking that ADV is holding off until the series concludes before they start releasing Season 5 volumes.

DDD finally has Vol. 4 up for pre-order. (Amazon's had it up for quite a while.) However it's cheaper, as usual on DDD.

How about $28.99 for 11-disc 1st season of Farscape? At BestBuy.com.

Must be some kind of Price-reduction???

Damnit! Didn't want to order at work, so I wait until I get home and the price is changed and it is sold out. I'm an idiot.

You can always try your local BB. I had the gf pick up Mutant X today and it was on sale still.

I actually went there after work and when they didn't have it I was going to order it when I got home. They only had seasons 3 & 4.

That's still more than what the Starburst version will go for. Three volumes for $16 each shipped from DDD is just $48. The full second season will be out by the end of the year. First volume in June, presumably the second in August, and the third in October.

But if someone wants it now, and has been waiting for a deal... there it is.

Well yeah, but what about the lack of special features?

Season 2 volume 1 comes out in about a week. The wait between volumes is a killer, especially since this is my first time watching the show. I suppose I'll break down and Netflix the older editions...

http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/redir...62&promotion=y DDD looks like it has the best price of the major etailors at $16.61. Hopefully that will come down a few bucks.

Hopefully S2:V1 will have some decent special features...

Be careful man.The forum fun police have already issued warnings.....apparently your account can be suspended if you carry on a joke that doesn't meet their humor criteria and the Farscape SF joke has been officially deemed "not funny" (despite the many here who think otherwise).
