[kKlown]

I have ben waiting years to get SAAB on DVD, I never thought they would release it! Sweet! :thumbs:

Will wait unitl it gets below the custom limit though!

[anephric]

DVDImport are good for certain things.

[hezzer]

Cheers OP, have gone for it, used to love this show :thumbs:

[welshmatt]

Shame the ex.rate is so cack at the moment. I remember the days when it was 2.4 CAN $ to the pound.

/Cue some old timer pointing out when it was even better

[sandman7]

This is a great show! Its taken long enough to get to dvd! Now all I need is season 2 of twin peaks!!!!

[KiNG]

good show :)

[Cuppa]

Top show, missed one or two episodes. Been waiting for this DVD to get under customs limit so will wait a little longer, unless can be sourced from UK.

[anephric]

Ead-bay etween-bay e-tay lines-ay.

[Repo]

Cheers anephric :)

Slightly corny in places but still good viewing

[IndianaJones00]

Have been avoiding Space Above and Beyong as it was a Best Buy Exclusive for the past several months and was hoping the Official R1 release would have extras but doesnt look like it does :(

[anephric]

There was no way extras were going to appear - if you have a Google you'll see muchos fan bitching about Morgan and Wong really wanting to do a bonus disc and commentaries, even at their own expense, but Fox ixnaying the hombres.

[sandman7]

Morgan and Wong are always kicked about byt he studios! grrrr

[sandman7]

this is 34.99 on amazon.com what are they like for shipping to the UK? Surely that puts it on the threshold of import tax?

[anephric]

That's actually more than it is at DVDImport. Amazon sometimes sneak past (particularly if you use the cheapest shipping option - surface) but the greeeat big AMAZON boxes attract attention from HMR&C.

[sandman7]

good point...I forgot about the american concersation rate there on amazon!

I cant seem to find this on cd-wow

[Megalomaniac]

Finally!! They're bringing it out, but they certainly took their time after thousands of complaints!

[StuBruise]

I assume the menu "problem" (http://tinypic.com/dhbfk3.jpg) is still present in the non-Best Buy version? ;)

~~stu

[sandman7]

what menu problem is this?

[T4V]

what menu problem is this?
Look at the space station in the top right of the pic, look familiar? ;)

[nscol]

I couldn't see the problem either until T4V pointed it out. :doh:

Cheers mate. :thumbs:

[psykik]

was there only one series ever made?

[Walrus Man]

was there only one series ever made?Yes, and unfortunately it ended on a sort of cliff-hanger. :(

Speaking of which, what we really need now is a release of Dark Skies.

[Medion]

Is this going to be released in the UK? Any chance that Morgan and Wong will ever do commentaries for the show???

[sandman7]

Why would anyone put that station into a dvd menu? Thats stupid, and has got to be a fake picture some moron has made!

Yes to dark Skies, anyone got any news on it? was it fox that made it?

[hookbeak]

it's not a fake picture

[IndianaJones00]

Nope its not a fake, its from the Best Buy Exclusive set, that is why I have avoided it. I was hoping the Official R1 release would offer more material but I will be happy if they just fix the menus.

[Walrus Man]

Nope its not a fake, its from the Best Buy Exclusive set, that is why I have avoided it. I was hoping the Official R1 release would offer more material but I will be happy if they just fix the menus.So you're not going to buy a DVD because of an error on a menu screen? :cuckoo:

[anephric]

No, he just avoided the Best Buy version hoping that they'd fix the general retail release version.

[IndianaJones00]

Thats correct, I always intended to buy the series but after the screw up with the Best Buy set I thought it would be better to wait until the Official Region 1 release.

[sandman7]

is this best buy the store in america? I didint know they had this released before.

[IndianaJones00]

Yes it is and Best Buy have had Space: Above and Beyond as an Exclusive for the past few months. Some importers have been selling it but at a high price which is yet another reason why I have been waiting for the Official R1 release.

HMV has done similar things over here before now. The Mighty Wind was an HMV exclusive for a while.

[Megalomaniac]

I didn't know Best Buy had it or I would have got it when I was in California earlier this month! Damn!!! Will wait for UK or ask my gf to buy me it for xmas :)

[JonLaidlow]

I think the menu "error" was probably a deliberate insert by a B5/ S:AAB fan who worked on the menus....

Are these double sided discs? Edit: Yes they are. Answered my own question by looking at the customer reviews at Amazon.com (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/thedvdforums-20)

I'll be in the USA next month - are there any bricks and mortar stores that might have this cheap?

J

[spinynorman]

I don't geddit :?: ..surely the B5 menu will soon be rarer than a stamp with a plane flying upside-down...Buy it now and keep for sale later on (or just keep it a an oddity), as once the dogs of copyright are let loose, they'll want to retrieve as much as possible.

Love the series, BTW.
