Ok, no answers yet, but here's what I found out so far....


#1 - I haven't found a "complete" box set available online as of yet.

#2 - I did look up prices from Best Buy, Circuit City and Knight Rider DVD.com (the official NBC/Universal webite)

Here are the prices for each season...

Season DVD / Best Buy Price / Circuit City Price / KRDVD.com Price
Season1: / 22.99 / 19.99 / 22.98
Season2: / 24.99 / 19.99 / 22.98
Season3: / 39.99 / 49.98 / 37.98
Season4: / 39.99 / 49.98 / 37.98
=================================
Totals: / 127.96 / 139.94 / 121.92

Prices do not include shipping and handling.


But I'm wondering: Why the price differences?

And secondly, Can I mix and match? Ex. - Circuit City has the best price for Season 1 and 2, and KRDVD.com has the best for season 3 and 4. But will the indiviual shipping charges cost me more to mix and match my order?


Anybody got any advice on this???

A fourth option would be Amazon. They've got the following prices:

Season 1 20.99
Season 2 22.00
Season 3 21.49
Season 4 21.49

Total: $86.96 - they've also got free shipping on orders over $25 bucks - so that does seem like the best deal to me.

Also, if you buy it through our affiliate link - a percentage of your purchase goes back to support this site - so I'm biased on them :)

Hi,

Why not trying to purchase it thorough Amazon.com, they offer good services. I purchased mine from them.

As far as free goes . . you might be able to check them out at the library. I've watched 24 and Alias through the Library system I use.

But if ownership is your goal then it sounds like Amazon is the best deal so far.

Wow those are cheap prices for season 4 compared to what I saw on the weekend. I was at a location of a popular music/dvd store in Canada down in Toronto and they had Season 4 going for either 64.99 or 67.99! :shock:

Don't use the Super Saver shipping through Amazon though. Doing so basically puts you in a "low priority" category where they'll be like "eh, we'll ship it when we get to it" you might be lucky and get it quick or at least quick compared to typical "super saver" shipping speeds or it could take a couple weeks. UPS and Fed-Ex ground service are more expensive but at least you get good tracking and it'll certainly be there in three days. Then there's USPS which isn't too bad even for standard shipping, it could get to you in three or four days from being shipped, maybe sooner if the warehouse they'd be sent from is within a couple hundred miles of you..
The new and again improved evil's advertisement is currently too long and too badass to display here. But let's just say that with now 50% more evil, this **** is great! :twisted: :skar:

You're correct sir!


I kinda read through the lines about that, and decided not to utilize the Super Saver free shipping. It could delay the package's arrival for up to 10 business days.

I used normal shipping and it was only a $5.00 charge. Guaranteed delivery within 3 to 5 days. And all 4 season DVDs will be delivered at the same time.


...That's much better. :wink:

The library system does make a great option for catching up on DVD viewing. Right now, I have two seasons of Voyager, the entire series of Twelve Kingdoms, (premium set) and a bunch of other movies. All in all, I'm probably borrowing over $500 in DVD stuff, for no charge and most of them can be renewed for over a month. Though, it is a shame to find some discs that looked like they've gone through a shreader.

Edit: Heh...I just checked to see if any Knight Rider was present in my lib's system. "Don't Hassel the Hoff" was the only thing the search even located. Oh, well.
