What do you mean? Each of the five seasons is 9.99 pounds, which is a little over 16 US dollars. There have been a number of sales at Costco, Best Buy, and ...
O/STAR is correct re online pricing on this site, for certain items. Don't forget that this is the wonderful UK where we get everything almost last and way overpriced. So to spot a gem like this is a great find.
Most of the time it just seems that businesses see the US price and just swap the $ sign for the £ sign without adjusting the actual figure downwards!
Still, as I said in the ...

Guys, have you checked out Amazon UK as well? Right now, they are selling the seasons of B5 for under ten pounds each and the collectors edition box, that HMV is offering for 110 is priced at 62.77 at Amazon.
Beats me how they can sell it for such an amazing price, since in Germany it costs almost twice as much (or more).

Just a thought, not one that I particularly like as such but it's an idea that hit me yesterday. B5:The Gathering - Special Editon was a more recent effort and was made in 4:3 so there would be no formatting issues, how about a BluRay of that and TLT? Any takers?

I'd be interested in the answer to this also. Not sure it would be enough to get me to buy a third set of DVDs but it's possible. At least they put the correct title sequence on "The Corps is Mother...". Jan PS: Welcome, whoisthedoctor!
