That seem to be a very big box for 13 episodes

17 eps, 6 disks and lots of extras

(I only hope that it is region free)

I wish that Network would release a "Sweeney" Blu-ray set as well!

So this is only for the UK? Personaly I would prefer a simple 4 disc set , something like Firefly, no gimmick, no collectibles, just the episodes.

There is also a US release coming in October. 5 disc set from A&E.

Info just added at the site linked above indicates that this set is Region B coded. Too bad.

That is too bad. I just preordered yesterday, taking a chance it would be region-free. I'll have to cancel now.

I'm sure A&E must have the rights in NoAm, and Network in Europe, so I'm not surprised that both versions are locked.

I still haven't cancelled my Network order, but today I noticed that the US A&E set is down to $50 USD. I went ahead and preordered it as well.

At some point I'm going to have to decide! Unless I get a multi-region player, I'll need to cancel the Network set, but I sure would rather have it and its extras.

I noticed in the description on hmv.com a couple of things I am curious about. In the header, they say, "Prisoner: Complete Series: 5blu" but in the description, they say 6 disc set. Also in the description, #10 says "Exclusive book on the making of the series by Andrew Pixley"...but there is no amazon description other than it is 6 discs. By "exclusive," is the book exclusive to HMV (since they have occasional exclusives) or just exclusive to the set and it will be the same if one gets it from Amazon UK?

HotRats · 08-28-2009, 09:35 AM

The book is supplied with all UK copies. It was available with the first 5000 copies of the DVD box and its a very good 288 page paperback, not some flimsy booklet

dougotte · 09-04-2009, 03:32 AM

Network DVD now have it on their website, and they confirm that it's Region B:

This is the first mention I see of English subtitles! Hope it isn't a mistake.

dougotte · 09-08-2009, 09:26 PM

I decided to cancel my Network order before I forget. If it is indeed Region B locked, I can't use it. If I find out that it's not locked, I'll order again after I read confirmation. It sure looks like a nicer set.

Otherwise, I'll settle for the US A&E set for now, which doesn't release until October.

I have been getting in the mood by watching a few episodes.

Amazon UK now shows Sept. 28th as the shipping date.

I cancelled my order a few days ago and decided to wait for the U.S. Edition.

Received this today from Amazon, seems a slight delay.

Hmmm. Six of One also reported that the screening that Network arranged in London was cancelled. I wonder if the BD and the screening cancellation are related? I wonder what the problem is?
