I remember a link to get these for just over £30 each at one point but can't seem to find the site any more and the usual suspects are selling them for min £50 at the moment. I need to get copies of at least the first 3 series so wondering where....

Any ideas?

DEVOTED - Friends Season 1 Digipack Boxset (3-discs) (http://www.devoted.com.au/cgi-bin/store/store.cgi?&P=002568) (528mins) £21 delivered
DEVOTED - Friends Season 2 Digipack Boxset (3-discs) (http://www.devoted.com.au/cgi-bin/store/store.cgi?&P=002569) (528mins) £21 delivered

... Aparantly the digipack is the entire series, in a little fold out box - ezydvd have some pictures of it here (http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/220037), but its more expensive that DeVoTeD!!

The R2 discs are at least double that price, so it's worth checking DVDCrave (http://www.dvdcrave.com), DeVoTeD (http://www.devoted.com.au) and EzyDVD (http://www.ezydvd.com.au) for the best prices. (R4 but dual coded for R2, so you will have no probs there, they are also PAL format)

Only the first season is available on R1 due to rights issues unfortunately.

The R1 edition of Season 1 will be available in a couple of months time.

I'd agree however that DeVoteD are the best place to acquire the first six seasons. Cost me around £30 a season. As for season 7, the best place is France (I used Amazon.fr), where they didn't bother with the so-called Directors Cuts and issued the season on 3 discs as previously. I paid approximately £36 including shipping, but I did have a 50FF voucher too. Still, even with a voucher, it's the cheapest source for season 7.

yup - don't encourage Warners rip-off six disc a series con!

I went for the French R2's as well - they'll look a little different as their snappers, where the R4's are amarays, but whatthehell, they were cheap! (about £35 is right).

It's also quite interesting to know what 'The One With The...' is in French! (don't worry about the packaging - it's mostly in French, but the discs are identical to the UK/Aus ones)
