In what must surely be the largest ever single release in Region 4, Shock are releasing in September, the complete series of 'Prisoner' on 174 DVD's...yes that's right 174 DVDs. Blimey that's a whole lot of discs!

I don't know who's going to buy this, but I wish them "Happy Profiling!"...

I assume that's Prisoner: Cell Block H rather then The Prisoner since The Prisoner only has 17 episodes!

But that was just a joke, this 174-DVD-set is for real...

Wonder if one day in the future the entire soap opera of Days of Our Lives ( which must be over 40 years old) will hit the Box set scene..
lets see.. 40 years times 50 weeks times 5 days = 10000 hours divided by 3 hours each =3333 DVD's

They have been slowly releasing the entire series in separate volumes, one per month, so it should not be a surprise that at the end they will also release a complete boxset containing all the volumes. Profiling might not be so hard if the individual volumes are already in the database.

I enjoyed the show when it was on, but I wouldn't buy it. I'd rather they released some other Australian shows, like Homicide or Division 4. Umbrella Entertainment had a survey going about this time last year for Aussie TV series that you'd like see released. I've still got the e-mail they sent me about the choices I made, basically it's just a thanks for your suggestions e-mail.

Cheers
In the end; Winning is the only safety.

... and if they do decide to release something you like you can be quite confident with Umbrella it'll be a decent package.

How about this megaset available through BestBuy.com:

Warner Mega Classics [198 Discs]

This set has movies from 1929 through 2005 and lists for a whopping $4,243.98 USD.
However BestBuy.com cuts you a deal and only charges you a mere $3,607.38 USD!!
That comes out to a disgustingly cheap $18 a disc!!! <Whew!> 

I'm sure everyone on these forums is racing for their credit cards right now!  Sign me up...<NOT>!!!
