I ordered Babylon 5 season 4 from a Canadian site called <A HREF="http://www.dvdsoon.com." TARGET=_blank>www.dvdsoon.com.</A> The price was $61.29 + $1.21 for converting the currency to American dollars - no shipping or tax. That was the lowest I found it for. I wish I lived in Canada, because somebody got it at a local Canadian DVD store for $34 (in American dollars). I'm jealous.<P>I'll probably have to wait for my B-Day and ask for S5 for my B-Day, which is in the begining of May. JMS has also said that he plans on releasing everything else on DVD (the movies as one package, Crusade, and Legend of the Rangers).
This is just my two cents.

I now have B5 S4. I liked it, including the gag reel :) Next on the list, SG-1 S5 :roll:

I love B5 Season 4. Next year I have to start on SG-1, because this year, I am collecting the Highlander TV Series.

2 down, 2 to go. I still need Season 6 of SG-1, which is March 2. Babylon 5 season 5 is in April. I am also working on Farscape at the moment. Next on my list may be Battlestar Galactica, or X-files. Maybe DS9.

I bought the last four seasons of DS9. Those were the best in my estimation, and the special features are a joke, so basically the show is all that matters.<P>Seasons six and Seven are the best. All with the Defiant and Vic Fontaine are awesome.

If I buy DS9, it'd be the whole series :) I loved it from season 1 to 7, though I didn't appreciate season 1-2 until after I watched the rest of the show, and I didn't appreciate the show at all until about halfway through the 3rd season, when it really started to get interesting.<P>Yes, I know, the special features are a joke. It's unfortunate that with all the DVD's out, like the LotR EE DVD's, Paramount doesn't have a clue how to do special features on their DVD's. Just like the rest of Star Trek, they're afraid of trying something new and different, so they just slap a few interviews and promo stuff, and sell it. They did it with the TNG sets, and with the Nemesis DVD, and their earlier DVD's had pratically nothing in the way of special features. It's too bad they can't give us commentaries like WB did with the Babylon 5 DVD's. <P>Speaking of Babylon 5, I finally got my copy of season 4. It's very nice and was worth the $61 I paid for it.

I like how in seasons 4 and 5, the Stargate DVDs have commentary for every single episode. not that many little interview pieces, but lots of commentary :)
