So, I have the full series and Serenity on DVD. Recently though I have been looking back at my collection of Buffy discs.

I have the old seasons 1-5 but Im really really tempted to get my hands on the 'chosen' box set of all 7 seasons. But that would be quite the cost, even if I could sell the ones I have for a few bucks.

Does anyone have the set? Is it worth it?

That would be a question for "Buffyverse" methinks. Sorry, I couldn't tell you...

My understanding is that it's exactly the same discs as the season sets, plus one disc of bonuses...

Personally, I'd say no, it's not worth it, if you only have two seasons left (hey, same here, let's be friends). That's a lot of dough for only one different disc.

I own all seven seasons, which I bought at different times. I'm told the chosen collection is pretty much the same, so it's not really worth splashing out. You'll get a much better deal on collectors editions of the last two seasons, as a lot of people sold theirs to get the chosen collection.

The Discs for the Seasons are all the same. The only difference is the one extra disc. Get a friend to buy it than copy his/hers.

I see no reason to avoid the discussion in the General area...

personally I bought each of the Buffy DVDs as they came out, and I wish I had the big 'Chosen' collection!

I only own Angel's season 5, but I've been thinking about getting the rest of them.

Ofcourse I own TWO copies of Firefly & Serenity!

Well, as General Discussions is described as "General discussions and comments relating to Firefly" and Buffyverse is described with "Discuss everything Buffy"...

I'm just sayin. Wasn't trying to be nasty.

@JossIsMyBoss:

IMO, these sets that have little to no extra value are just a cash grab by the studio.

So, I'm with Dataless. Buy the last two seasons and "aquire" the extra disk and save yourself a sizable chunk of cash.

From what I've heard, you really aren't missing out if you don't get to see that extra disk. In fact, if you ever go to conventions they tend to show those things there.

sweetie, I know you would never be nasty,
but when I look down the list of subjects discussed here in the 'general' area...
I see all the random nonsense
male/female imponderables
dating advice
anime discussions
and a whole lot of stuff that have a LOT less to do w/Firefly and/or Joss than a simple DVD discussion
(he DID relate it to his owning Firefly DVDs after all...so an attempt at being on topic was there)

I'm sorry if my comment sounded like I was mad at you or anything, because that is the last thing I'd want

I already had all seven seasons when The Chosen Collection came out. I bought the collection and gifted the seperate seasons to my roommate, whom I got into Buffy. It was more of a gift than I am used to doing (sets totaled over $300) but I did a combo of birthday/Christmas/College graduation.

The collection is just beautiful (and it saves space) and I'm glad I bought it, but it was a big expenditure when I already had all the seasons.

I wouldn't know personally...but I hear there's a wonderful little program called bittorent. I think if you searched it on a torrent site you would be one of many. when you all swarm the file you'll have it in no time. A "friend" of mine got a copy of "done the impossible" this way. actually that was a legal torrent.

I don't own ANY of the DVDs, so, I would say it's worth it! But that's just me. If you own most of the DVDs and The Chosen Collection is exactly the same, I'd say, just get the last two seasons, and forget The Chosen Collection.

When I see that you laugh I think of Joss making Nathan laugh then I think of Nathan as Caleb taking Xanders eye and therefore your laughing is related to eye injuries!

Fellow Forsaken - does anyone really know what they are talking about? Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really know about time?

time is relative...as is space..
and there is no sound in space...

therefore there is no such thing as talking at all,

we are all an illusion

-------------------------------
now on a different (but DVD related) topic:
I got my 'Done the Impossible' DVDs yesterday,
and I'm really enjoying them...
but there are supposed to be 7 easter eggs...
can anyone tell me where? I can't even find one!
