I went to a local CostCo to check the price - sold out. Local
Wal-Mart - sold out. When I didn't see it in the "new releases" aisle
at Best Buy I asked an employee who immediately recognized the name and
took to a new area for TV shows on DVD. They had a couple of rack slots
labelled for it, but only three copies left in one of them. The disc
was as high as #9 on the Amazon.com sales rank this week, and it has
generally been in the top 50 ever since it was made available for
pre-order in August. I has been in Total Action Universe's Top 10 for
nearly as long, and was their top seller for a couple of days, drawing
more pre-orders than either the "X-Files" or "ST:TNG" sets due out the
same day.

Maybe you need to move. <g>

Regards,

Joe

All I'll say is that Warners is, apparently, stunned.

So according to JMS, Warner is stunned by the sales of the box set. All I have to say is.....cool!

That's great news... this should at least ensure that Season 2 comes to disc (the sales of which should ensure that Season 3 comes to disc.... and so on)

Well this is WB....the company who has no idea of how to market their products that people actually enjoy! Can't wait to get my hands on the season 1 set also.
