Good things come to those who wait.
I read about the release of the individual T Sone seasons coming out at a list price of $100 and typically discounted to 60-70 bucks and thought "I want these but I bet I can get them cheaper down the run"
the complete series eventually came out at a list of $400 and in the beginning discounted at a little over half that.
then comes Christmas time and I saw these going down to the $175 range and I thought "Now I can pay attention"
Anyway, pulled the trigger for the entire series at $168 shipped at Ebay on Christmas Day (knowing my Christmas money) and it comes in today.
So, with all five seasons included I ended up rounding out to $34 a season.
Bigger T zone fans than I have had fun with the video history. Besides the pricy VHS/Beta Columbia House releases, The first DVD releases were not in series sets and pricy. I didn't buy anything until they came out with the definitive collection series sets and got them season by season as they came out which was more pricy (but at least I didn't end up double dipping with those earlier DVD releases).
Some people have said "how come you need it in HD when it isn't in color?" And I shake my head. I could argue that HD benefits black and white more than color. Black and white is all texture, highlight and shadow and no color to distract from it.
