Need some Purchasing advice

I'm a big B5 fan (not a fanboy, thank you very much), and I plan to purchase the entire series on DVD. Therein lies my delemma.

Should I purchase the entire series in one fell swoop, or should I go season by season? It will cost me $411 for the whole package, or $422 to go season by season.

Help me.

Get them one by one. That way, if some better reason to spend your money pops up under way, you'll still have a chunk of the money. Not the series, but the first seasons of b5 suck anyway, so you can skip those...

Why are you purchasing anything? Poor hungry people in Mississippi and China probably built it! Capitalist pig-dog oppressor! :mad:

I know, 3 and 4 are the best, but I havent seen the series in years, so if I skip the first seasons, I won't know whats going on.

Not being a Mathemagickal Genius, I can't speak with great authority, but I am pretty sure that it is cheaper to buy the whole thing at once, rather than pay $11 more for each season (and thus the whole thing).

Whole series. And then you can get better shipping! All Hail B-5!

Is that just seasons 1-5, or does it include the movies and Crusades? I'd say whole series anyways, since you can probly get free shipping on it, thereby cutting the price compared to individual seasons eaven more
