I cancelled my Amazon.com order rather quickly when I saw that. The American price is exactly the same, except in US dollars. Americans get ripped off on DVDs and CDs I tell you.<br /><br />As a big Babylon 5, this purchase was forth every extra cent....Canadian cent that is <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />The extras I found were rather superfluous, with the exception of the entertaining episode commentaries. While the previews are conveniently located (so you can quickly find out if you remember/like a particular episode before viewing) , the documentaries and station tour are really just fluff, and not even much fluff.<br /><br />The content however is really nice. A few image quality issues, easily explained by the fact that I have to watch it on a computer monitor from a short distance away, which tends to exaggerate DVD compression artifacts. The sound on the other hand is truly spectacular. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>MinutiaeMan</b> <br /><small>Member # 444</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,10,17,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 10, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:18 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Where'd you get the pack for that cheap?
