highlander dvd question

[rusty_halo]

Um, question for any Highlander people out there. I'm trying to figure out which DVDs to buy. There's seasons 1 - 3 released by Anchor Bay, and there's all seasons at highlandercatalog.com. Are they different? Which is better? Is it safe to buy seasons four and five from highlandercatalog.com now or should I wait for the Anchor Bay releases? Which version of season three should I buy? I can't find any info as to whether these are all the same or different or what--I want whichever is best.

I believe that the Anchor Bay version and the Highlander Store version are identical.

The Best Buy version includes a bit of extra material, such as actor interviews. The only place to get the Best Buy version is at a Best Buy store. Best Buy also sells by mail order, but the Best Buy mail order version is identical to the Anchor Bay/Highlander Store version (it doesn't include the extra material). Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that the Best Buy version is still available, even at the Best Buy stores.

The Highlander Store sells the sets at full retail price, while Best Buy, Amazon, DeepDiscountDVD etc. sell the sets at a substantial discount. The Highlander Store has all the seasons now, the other places sell them as they become generally available. Currently, seasons 1, 2 and 3 are generally available, and season 4 is coming out soon (next week, I think). You can get all the sets now from the Highlander store, or you can wait and get them for less.

Over the years, the Highlander Store has gotten a reputation for poor service. Caveat emptor.

Thanks so much for the info. I've heard a lot of bad things about the Highlander store.

The Best Buy website claims that the version of S4 it's selling has "exclusive features." I'm not sure how real that claim is, but I decided to buy that one just in case.
