$100 for the entire first season is a bargain. I think that's works out less than $3 and episode.

This is the most interested I've even been in a commentary track, even if it is only on 2 episodes for season one.

And it's is in *real* wide screen, unlike the crappy chopped version on Sci Fi (yes I know the fixed it after the first run of season 4).

Hmm works out at £66.666... That is probably exculding VAT, so it's probably going to be £80. I'd really have preferred to get seperate DVD's since I don't really want all the episodes in season 1

I want to own all 5 seasons all at once if I could. But I'm content to buy one season at a time if need be

I tried it once, watching all five seasons took me about one month to do. I think if the seasons are released every six months or so then demand will be kept high and the market won't become saturated. Sorry if this sounds like too long to wait but if you factor in the time required for remastering and the collecting of "extras" then I think the wait is worth it (assuming that the other series are released).

Each episode is 42 mins though (on average). So... maybe 3 - 4 episodes per DVD?

Does anybody have any idea about any extras that will be included (if there are any at all)? I would say a six DVD boxed set would be about right.

From the lurkers guide

Season One will be out in a boxed set this Fall, and they're going to be including at minimum two commentaries from me, probably on Signs and Portents and Chrysalis (it's a matter of how much time and energy I can give to it given that there's no fees involved and I'm in the midst of Jeremiah), and if possible, Babylon Squared, maybe Sky Full of Stars. They'd also like to film an on-camera intro by me (but I guess folks will buy it anyway, even with that particular horror included).

They're pulling together a lot of stuff on this release so that there are plenty of extras this time around, now that the value of the DVDs has been shown by the first release.

Sounds good to me

Ya, season 1 rules. Sinclair is so much better than Sheridan.
