Are you able to still buy the VHS copies? I've heard they've been deleted/stopped to make way for the DVDs... (I got all my VHS copies from a video store's ex-rental sale)...
Anyway, I'd get the DVD if I were you - you can find less expensive copies from places like Big W and K Mart, I believe... I got mine from the UK anyway, heh, but they were cheaper that way...
But it's up to you, really...

yeah they are  it'll take a while for series 8 to come out on DVD though. But that's ok. It works out costing about the same if I can find a cheap copy in K Mart as opposed to abc online, which is where I usually buy from. And yeah, they still have some VHS copies for sale, just not every episode  the one I wanted was Blue from series 8, but it wasn't there. anyway, I will buy series 3 next ;D it has some good episodes (Backwards, Bodyswap, etc) |

Oh lordy, don't buy them from the ABC, what are you thinking, girl?! LMAO! They are the most expensive place to get them from, they must sell for the whole sale price because damn... Even Ezy DVD is cheaper... But I wouldn't get them from there either... Try www.atlanticdvd.com.au for better prices, or if you don't mind importing, try www.sendit.com (UK site) - they tend to be regions 2 and 4 anyway, so you can still play them on Auzzie DVD players, and they come out earlier too... plus the spines line up to form the Red Dwarf logo, which the Australian versions don't do... Which reminds me, I gotta get series 1 and 2 from them still... But yeah it's up to you still... but in the future... I wouldn't get them from the ABC shop... I don't know if the online shop is any different, but from my experiences with comparing prices... they're the most expensive... |

Thanks ;D I have only ever bought one video from abc online, which is quite expensive since you have to pay for postage & handling... I bought series 4 from an abc shop out of sheer desperation which was like $50 Australian  point taken. lol last night I went to the video shop and they had sold my favourite episode (it had Quarantine and Terrorform)! they sell them for like $10 and I could have bought it if I'd known  I think probably K Mart is my best bet. At least they're cheap... but I'll have to hunt around for one that has series 3 |

Yup, definitely look around, because the ABC shop is really dodgy for that kinda stuff  I mean if you can't get it anywhere else, then maybe... I almost bought The Micallef Programme DVD from them because I couldn't find it anywhere else - luckily I found it at Borders for a few $$$ cheaper... But it was marked as less expensive at Ezy DVD and Atlantic... too bad they didn't have it on shelf  But anyway Oh and don't worry about the Quarantine and Terrorform situation... the series 5 DVD should be out by the end of the year, might be in time for Christmas, hehe  I'm getting mine from the UK so I'll get it in November... not too sure when it's actually coming out in Australia though... |

Series V is out in about a month-and-a-half, and I'm ordering it from SendIt.com coz that's even cheaper than the Official Site's special offer, plus I don't have to pay for postage and packaging; but you will have to if your in Australia. Series IIII III should be out in the UK in Feb 2006 on DVD, unless the film is out sooner (if they ever get round to making it... ) If that's any use... |
