I just picked up the combined seasons 3 & 4 at Best Buy for $18.99. The packaging looks like seasons 1 & 2 with Paul Gross and David Marciano on the cover. It says Season 3, 26 episodes but has no mention of Callum Keith Rennie. I bought it anyway and sure enough it's seasons 3 & 4 with all eps from "Burning Down the House" to "Call of the Wild" on 4 discs.

Does it have subtitles? And if so, could you buy me one and I'll send you the money somehow?

Bugger! Ah well, I'll just buy the Alliance Atlantis ones when they come out.

Thanks.

Oh, my good God. They got S4 out in the US before they got them out in Canada!

Yeah, I wasn't going to buy season 4 -- it hadn't occurred to me even after 1 and 2 came out at bargain-basement prices that they might do the same for 3/4!! So I bought it on the way home thanks to your heads-up.

Holy crap! I have never been so displeased about being hours away from the closest Best Buy as I am right now.

If you don't live near a Borders either (see chase65, below) let me know. I live in Phoenix, AZ and you can't spit in this town without hitting a Best Buy. They're everywhere.

I am so happy and want to spread the joy....

Oh, my goodness. Are you sure? If you could manage, that would be wonderful. I'd be more than happy to pay whatever it'd cost.

Sure I'm sure. the beauty thing about this version is that it's relatively inexpensive. And it's not very big, so postage shouldn't be that much. As long as I put the money back in my account I'm cool.

I'm just bouncing and squeeing because I want to write a Kowalski fic for the current Flashfiction challenge, but I haven't seen any of the episodes yet. And now here they are. When the universe is being so accomodating, how can I not pass that along?

I'll send you an e-mail and we'll work out the details.

That'd be beyond awesome. If you happen to find them, e-mail me at ms.cellophane @ gmail.com and let me know what I owe you. If not, then thanks for trying, anyway. :) And you've never seen a RayK episode? Wow! You've got a lot to look forward to (I've only ever seen seasons two and three, myself).

Holy Shit.

Ohmigod, I finally get to see season 4! I finally get to see Lady Shoes, Maggie, and "The Ladies' Man"! I, too, can be a completist!

I just had to comment on this:

without waiting for that infernal crystal to grow up

OMGLYKEWHOA!! That is the one problem I have with my CSI DVDs! I hate that crystal like nothing else, because it's boring and uninteresting and takes too damn long!! o.O I didn't even know that only a few seconds could be that annoying! lmfao!

If the crystal is growing up on some of the DVD releases of due South too, I may have to watch which release I get when I eventually manage to spare money from, oh, say, living to actually buy s1/s2...

If you don't live near a Best Buy, you might check in with Borders. Although I got my Seasons 1 & 2 at Best Buy. I noticed that the local Borders now carries 1 & 2 so they also might have Season 3 & 4.

The ones they carry are slightly more expensive than Best Buy.

Ahhh! Dilemna. I've got all the Canadian editions with 4 on pre-order... but I won't have to wait a month and it'll be *half-price* to get 3&4 combined. Okay, this isn't so hard.

Yay! thanks for the update - I checked yesterday and no sign of it yet in my local store.

Well, I know what *I*'m going to do now on my birthday(tomorrow). Sprint the local BB's and see what's there! I think I can convince *someone* in my family to buy it. I hope.

Thank you *so* much for the good news!!

I just checked Best Buy.com. According to them it doesn't release until October. I just wanted to see if you managed to get a store that missed the memo, or what the deal is...

I thought the same thing when I checked the computer at my local Best Buy, which didn't have any dS. But notice what else it said - $69.99. And the cover art is different. But I found the $18.99 set at another BB.

I don't know *what* is going on with these discs - like moosesal said, the art, inside and out, is the same as the seasons 1 and 2 sets, with PG and DM, and no mention of CKR. And the discs themselves don't even have disc 1, disc 2, etc., let alone episode titles or any other info, which the first two sets had. It's like someone on the inside tried to sneak them out to us.

But once you pop the discs, it's Ray K all the way.

Hey, a quick question to those of you who own the DVDs out there, do they have English subtitles for the hearing impaired?

Date: 2005-08-14 02:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] grey853.livejournal.com
There's no CC or English subtitles on season three. I don't think they're on the first two seasons released in the states, either. Sorry.

OK, stopped in at Best Buy. Aside from the drawback that they were *sold out*, they said that yest they have them in and are getting more on Wed. So it's in. Yay!!

Do you have a DVD player that plays region 1 DVDs? If so I could pick up an extra one and mail it to you. (If your computer plays DVDs region codes might not be a problem like they are on regular DVD players.)

Oooh, that I'd love -- and yes, I CAN play Region 1 -- how about payment? paypal? Other way?

I wouldn't have thought of PayPal, but that could work. I have an account, though so far I've only used it to buy stuff. I'll send you an e-mail after I get home from work tomorrow night and we can work out the details (it's 2am where I am and my brain is starting to fade out.)

I'm gonna try via LJ (I'm prob just being annoying LOL), but I'm getting slightly paranoid about my email. I received your email about having the DVD box, I just need the full amount for the transaction -- I've sent you a couple of emails, but haven't heard back -- that's where the paranoia comes in -- I'm getting to a point where I don't trust spam filters all that much -- yours ended up in mine *g*, but if it's simply not getting through, I'm reachable @ ximeria@gmail.com as well.

No problem with your e-mail, just the general insanity that is my life causing me to have to wait for the weekend to answer e-mail (and due to crazy work schedule weekend is Sun-Mon.) I just sent you a message with the details. Let me know if you don't receive it. But the upshot is postage=17.35 and the boys are on their way.

The Best Buy at the Cambridgeside Galleria in Cambridge, Massachusetts has about ten copies in stock right now. Just FYI for those Boston-area folk.
