I've seen the BRADBURY's.It's great to have them all in a set and it can be had at a pretty low price BUT the bit rate is low and some of the visuals suffer,especially in dark scenes where it can get very blocky.Your call.

I haven't got around to watching my Ray Bradbury set yet, but...having all 65 episodes of the series...for only 25 bucks or so...I don't think anybody should be complaining about picture quality. It's a heckuva deal.

I don't think the picture quality is too bad on the Ray Bradbury set. Yes, the bit rate is a little low at times since they're fitting 5+ hours onto a disc...but unless you're very close to your set specifically watching for compression artifacts, it's not that big of a deal. It's a great value for the set nonetheless.

Got mine for Christmas, but the person who got it for me bought it at Best Buy.

I saw where Munsters season 2 was confirmed for a 2005 release but nothing further than that (although they hinted at a fall/halloween release date).
No word on any extras or bonus materials yet.

Does Best Buy ship to Canada and are money orders accepted, as Best Buy up here in Canada does not carry The Ray Bradbury Theater 5 DVD set for some stupid reason. I don't know why this set is not availabe in Canada, please could someone help me out as i cannot find this anywhere apart from Best Buy U.S.A.

cheers

Yo. www.amazon.com and www.deepdiscountdvd.com have it. I bought mine at DDD for a cool $28, including shipping to Europe. Haven't gotten it yet though.

There's a link around here somewhere that asks which extras the fans would like to see on the next set.

DDD is out of stock currently, and it's odd since they don't really carry other Platinum titles. Amazon can only "Special order" it which makes you wonder.

Tower Records has it in stock right now...
