You can pre-order your Farscape DVD Megaset at www.dhpdvd.com. Use code name "scapers" to get a 10% off the sale price of $109.89 — which comes to $98.90. Now that’s SUBSTANTIALLY less than what each season set used to cost back when they were first released. Considering that both the original releases and the Starburst releases are now out of print, this is the best way for new fans to get their own set. (I mean, you could search through eBay looking for used sets, too, but it will take a lot of your time to put together all four seasons worth of DVDs.)
And remember, this Megaset will have ALL the commentaries that the original sets had, plus the re-released Starburst set, AND…..they will also have the "Farscape Undressed" feature, which has never been available in North America.
Offer is good until August 31.
I hope my Dad's not looking at this - here's his Christmas gift.
