Dear Interwebs...

Pay $95 (with shipping) now for the Torchwood S1 box set, or wait until late January and pay $60 for the US release?

Personally, I like the packaging on the British version, better, but not so much that I have to pay the extra for it. But I don't know if I can wait until January to, erm, get the legitimate version...

Meanwhile, I really, really want the British DW S3 DVD box set (I like the packaging way more than the proposed US packaging) but OHMIGOD, it'll cost something like $100 more, thanks to the exchange rate. *Grump*

R1 is USA, right? (I'm forgetful, as I region-free DVD player) Doctor Who S3 is available for pre-order through Amazon.com with a release date of Nov 6 or so. The UK version is, of course, available in the UK already. Torchwood is out now in the UK, will be out in January '08 in the US. I really should wait until Gallifrey One for both, but I'm impatient (and I have family currently vacationing in the UK, hooray!)

Do you know if the R1 Torchwoods are cut or are they the full versions of the episodes? I'm always worrying about that.

Bloody hell, I hadn't thought of that. I hope they aren't.

I'll have to run to the store and take a look at the running time on the previously-released DW DVDs, that should tell me if they're releasing the US broadcast or the uncut episodes.

(and, meanwhile, I've sent a whiiiiiiiny email to my dad - currently on vacation in the UK - to please pick up the British DW box set for me and if the Torchwood ditto *happened* to fall into his suitcase, too... heh)

Gah, the US S3 cover is awful, I hadn't seen it before this. I love the limited/lenticular Saxon cover in the UK, but even the regular edition there is way more awesome than the upcoming release here. Feh.

Aww man, they did a lenticular cover for S3? That's so awesome! *oozes jealousy*

The S2 UK box set has a lenticular cover, but I'm guessing that wasn't a limited edition thing, as I just got it from sendit.com - no special order or anything...
