Hi,

Just had an e-mail from Play.com informing me that they now have Friends DVD boxsets for Pre-Order at a bargain price of only £16.99 !

This offer is for any of the 10 series !

I have just ordered Series 7-10 to complete the whole set.

They will be released on 25.10.04.

I expect other retailers will follow suit & that their will be a big Friends Promotion leading upto christmas so if anyone finds these boxsets any cheaper let us know.

Jakeyh ;)

series 10 is showing up as 3 discs only and doesnt mention any of the special features as the normal 5 disc box set. Being a huge fan of the series, I dont mind paying over the top money just as long as I get the full package. Its a very good price though and it would work out even cheaper if you use the 10% off codes

All of the pre-order box sets seem to be only 3 discs each.

I have the series 1 box set which I bought in France and it was on 4 double-sided DVDs with 3 episodes per side. I wonder what the quality will be like on 3 DVDs, especially if they end up being single-sided rather than double-sided to get the costs down.

I might wait until you guys get your DVDs before I order. Please let us know what the quality is like. Thanks to dicanio`s previous post, I have a region 1 boxset of series 2 winging its way to me from Canada for GBP 14.

By the way, if you are having difficulty finding the new pre-order box sets, start here:

Hats off to the original poster though - it`s a good bargain!

Amazon are listing the Series 1 to 10 boxset at 169.49...

www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002WYRSM/qid=1094486423/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/026-3599187-8821211

they claim the rrp is 225.99. Nice box though.

Play are listing it at 179.99 .... so Amazon are currently winning!

www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=197850

They both say 30 discs, but its hard to tell whether you`ll get all the features (director cuts etc) that the individual boxsets carry.

Also available at Choices Direct for GBP 168.75 which is marginally cheaper than play.com if you have no vouchers and have never bought any Friends boxsets ever!

Whilst we are on a spending spree, why not go the whole hog and buy these Star Trek box sets for GBP 300 - 330 each?

Further Friends bargains:

Friends Series 9 Boxset (Region 4, 3 discs, pre-order, GBP 12.95 delivered):
http://www.devoteddvd.com.au/shop/product_info.php?ref=6&products_id=9903

Friends Series 1-4 Boxsets (Region 1, the best versions from what I hear, GBP 16.46 each delivered):

http://www.dvdsoon.com/show-title-details.xml?uid=47231&partner_id=1005

P.S. Also available for a few cents more at DVD Pacific (who I prefer - better, quicker service) and DVD Import. These places all have series 5-8 at just over the GBP 18 customs limit (although you might get away with it with DVD Pacific as the price excluding postage and packing is just under GBP 18 for each of these and I assume that this is the price they will stamp on the package).
