HI James, Hi all,

Oh good. Isn't there a Virgin store in Antwerp? I rather thought there was,
I'll have to check it out

You're right - there goes my plan to wait to order until the second set was
available...
How do the UFO DVDs compare in price to DVDs with films on them, or other
series?

Maybe people are waiting for DVD writers to become affordable. Latest price
I saw was some 890 € (DVD writer for a computer, I mean) in a shop nearby.
I don't have a use for a DVD player that can't record off TV, I'm sure I'm
not the only one who feels that way. And what's the point of buying a DVD
player (even if one has the UFO DVD set) if one has to buy a DVD writer in
the foreseeable future? Then there are the regional differences. Absolutely
ridiculous, those different standards. Just a thing to boost sales, I'm
sure :-)
