Yup yup... I've already got mine ordered! :)

Question... I've seen some people talk about whole seasons on DVD... all I've seen are these "Best of" DVDs... what's the deal?

Well that solves it. Ya know... I love being an American, but sometimes all you Europeans just get the better toys. :-(

Got my S7 box-set today, but as I suspected, it only has the short versions of 13-16. Three double-sides DVD's with 8 episodes on each, as with previous sets.

I guess I'll now *have* to buy that one DVD separately for the extended episodes. :(

Yes, but if I'd bought them here, they'd probably cost at least �102, (say 6*�17), but I got the whole season from DVDzone2 for around �38!

[The only disadvantage being the foreign packaging, but the shows are in English, so I can live with that]

Even getting the UK S7:13-16 DVD as well, will be FAR cheaper overall! :)

Okay. A friend told me tonight that the DVDs have been going up in price, since demand is increasing, especially for the 712 disc, and 713-716.

They'd have to hit �64 each for me to lose out though!

It's not only in the UK; they're available in most video-stores in Europe. And it's ridiculous that the WB believes they'll lose money because of the DVDs. Back home in Norway we have all the DVDs, and we also have a rerun a day, and a new episode every Tuesday. Friends still is one of the most watched shows on television, averaging about 800.000 viewers every week (which is more than 17% of the entire population).

In the UK, they apparently get all the episodes from the show on DVD. These DVD's don't play on most US DVD players.

That's right, you need to import a more advanced multi-region player.

Several US fans have done this, and reported their success on ATF.

Tennant, do you know where I can order S1-7 on DVD. Since I live in the States we don't have them to buy yet. Can you get them at Amazon.com? Thanks, Sarah

I know I am not Tennant, but I am pretty sure I can tell you where to get them. Amazon.co.uk carries them - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005NMW4/o/qid=1006665880/sr=8-1/ ref=sr_aps_d_1_1/202-8238201-0867001 - but if I understand correctly, you would still have to purchase a DVD player that plays Region 2 encoded DVD's.

Hope that helps :) Teresa

Thanks Teresa, but I would prefer to purchase from DVD Zone 2 at http://www.dvdzone2.com/ since they're usually much cheaper.

As I told Tarri Sanford & Lora Jeffreys, you guys need to import a more advanced multi-region player. Several US fans have already done this, and reported their success on ATF.

In Europe, all of the 1st 7 seasons are available on DVD, but only in the region 2 format. You'd need a multi-region player.

I think I'm going to double check my DVD player to see if it only plays Region 1... I'd LOVE to have ALL the episodes rather than (or in addition to) those ones that whomever it is decided are the "best" episodes.
