These are now in my hot little hands! I wanted that edition of the second season, mainly because it showed a complete cast shot, including the girls and POC, and not just the four big white dudes. Then I found out it was a steelbook, which made me happy, and then I got to wondering if there’d been a steelbook season one. Turns out there had been, and I found possibly one of the last places on the internet stocking it (@thenile.com.au). Season one cost me $28.93 with free shipping, and I scored season two for super cheap off a seller on eBay for $11.99 + $3 postage (won’t bother linking to that because all of that seller’s stock is gone.) So I got the entirety of EMH, still brand new in shrink wrap, for under $45. Not bad when you consider I’d been looking seriously at the complete 1 & 2 pack that ranges from $60 – $100, depending on where you get it from.

Only complaints so far – one disc clip per box set was broken, meaning a disc floats free (but hey, that’s nothing outside the norm for buying DVDs), there’s a tiny bend in the top edge of the season one case (but it’s barely noticeable, and it still closes and opens fine) and none of the discs in both season box sets are numbered. They have the name of the episode arc on them instead. So I have to guess what disc I need, or google the episode list. I’m guessing it’s because the discs are the same discs they put in the partial season single disc issues, and there’s no need for numbers if you’re only buying one disc at a time, but it’s a bit of a pain in the arse in a box set.

All in all, I am very happy, and satisfied with my purchase, and unless there’s some super stupid menu system, I’ll probably remain that way. 🙂
