    Absolutely fantastic price..

    Product description
    This limited edition, 33-disc box set includes the entire Seinfeld collection from Seasons 1 - 9, a 226-page coffee table book and an additional bonus disc featuring all-new interviews all packaged in smart, durable black casing.

    Synopsis
    No show captured the eccentricities of New York like the Larry David-created sitcom Seinfeld. Helping to define America's view of New Yorkers, the series gained endless fans over its nine series run. Though it wasn't the first show to assert the rudeness of New York's citizens, its characters are selfish to a fault--not that there's anything wrong with that. Self-obsessed comedian Jerry Seinfeld is joined in the cast by his neurotic ex-girlfriend, Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus); his chronically lazy pal, George (Jason Alexander); and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), who takes the sitcom clich?f the weird neighbour to impressive new heights. Despite their faults (or perhaps because of them), they're some of the most hilariously watchable characters in television history. The entire series is presented here.

    It is an absolutely phenomenal show.. best watched in bulk!

    It's a show I never liked until I saw a load of episodes.. then you get the in-jokes and references to past episodes - it really is one of the most intelligent comedies and witty ever aired.

    Couldnt agree more, fantastic show. I'm only missing one series but i'm still tempted to buy this whole lot. Why i have no idea...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 694 ✭✭✭kgiller


    I wholeheartedly agree. This show is amazing. Once you watch them in sequence you will really appreciate jokes from past episodes and even past seasons which keep popping up... these pretzels... are making me thirsty!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,683 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Thats wayyyyyyyyyy too tempting but some bargain all the same. 33 discs is brilliant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 694 ✭✭✭kgiller


    On a similar topic if you like seinfeld you will also like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Curb-Your-Enthusiasm-Complete-Seasons/dp/B000FZDGW4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1207138471&sr=8-1

    Season 1-5 of Curb Your Enthusiasm €63
    Good price but not the full collection... this is also an amazing show

    Totally off-topic but I must be the only person who utterly hated this show. Never found it funny in the slightest and the characters were so annoying too.:p

    You DIE now! :mad:

    Ah no.. I was in the same boat as you until I watched a few episodes. Turned me right around.. one of the best comedies (i'd still rank 'Spaced' higher though)

    I paid €154 for the fridge edition of this back in january. €50 for a box shaped like a fridge and 5 fridge magnets. What a bargain that was!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,713 ✭✭✭branners69


    Does this boxset have any audio commentaries like some of the Season boxsets?

    Yes, they contain all the special features included on the individual season releases.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,683 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    And a big book also according to the description. Its very tempting!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭guinnessdrinker


    Very tempting indeed! I wonder what the book that comes with the boxset is like. If it's anything like the book about the Curb Your Enthusiasm book it will be a good read.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,201 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I lodged €150 into my Wirecard today.. and if it's still this price when it shows up in my account, i'll buy it.

    But i'm apprehensive to buy boxsets from Amazon as stuff is always coming down lower and lower (like in a month or two).'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭Beano

    THe book that comes with this is a 226 page hardback with a synposis for every episode along with quotes and pages of seinfeld facts. It is very well done. In fact the entire packaging is excellent and makes this set a huge bargain. Of course it doesnt have the fridge packaging with the fridge magnets that was well worth an extra €50. Honest.

    Glad to hear the book is good, even more tempting now, feck it, what to do.

    At least we can use the extra €50 we are saving to put towards buying a real fridge! :p

    I bought it, went through to the checkout and it ended up at £84.62. According to xe.com its over €108, more when the credit card company add exchange fees. Still not a bad price.

    That's odd..

    Though I don't use XE.com (use Google instead).

    Thats weird, I got the exact same thing £84.62, why is that I wonder?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭guinnessdrinker


    Oh just figured it out, the £82.35 is actually the price before the postage is added on.

    That is weird as there's been a few times i've ordered from Amazon that the price on that page was the price I paid for it! :confused:

    And it also seems very odd that you never know the true price of the item (with postage) until you actually finish paying for it - as the page after the one above is 'credit card details' and does not give a new price anywhere there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,228 ✭✭✭Kramer


    It's £68.06 + vat. £68.06 + vat (@ 17.5%) of £11.91 = £79.97.
    Irish price: £68.06 + vat (@21%) of £14.29 = £82.35.

    £1.50 odd for postage :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,201 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Balls.. completey forgot about this.

    And it's gone up to £91.97 now! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭guinnessdrinker


    I received this yesterday. I wasn't expecting the actual box to be so big. I thought it was going to be the size of a regular dvd box. Anyway it's extremely well put together, the book is very good also. Only got time yesterday to watch one episodde, the pilot episode. This boxset will be handy for when there is nothing on the tv.
