[quote name='consoleman']You're right. I wasn't aware it was 5-discs. I thought they would manage to fit the 5 specials on a single disc on Bluray at least.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I don't know why they made this five discs. It really should have been two or three at most (it would have been pushing it to fit all five specials and the bonus content on a single disc). I would assume it's because they had already released the specials individually, and it was easier for them to just package the discs together than it would have been to master new discs. Or maybe because discs are cheap to make, but the more of them there are in the package, the more they can charge. Who knows.
[quote name='consoleman']As for BBC titles, I thought they lowered the first season of Torchwood to $25 or $30 a few months ago. Who knows, they might have a similar, short-lived deal on Amazon for this in the same price range?[/QUOTE]
You might be thinking of Children of Earth (last year's Torchwood mini-series). It came out at a less expensive price point initially (MSRP $34.99), so it has been discounted to under $25. The cheapest that I've seen season one selling for has been around $50 -- I got it for $36 from Barnes and Noble, but only after using a coupon and my member discount on top of a sale price.
