Friends 15th Anniversary Complete Collection 40 DVD Box Set £60 (In Store At HMV)

This is selling in Asda Living stores at £47 at the moment

It is quite a tiny box this one - compared to the older sets.

Recession haha :D

Why not blu ray?

Maybe it wasn't shot in HD.
There aren't too many TV shows which pre-date HDTV yet have been released on HD-DVD or Blu-ray (the only ones which spring to mind are the original 1960s seasons of Star Trek).
Friends was certainly broadcast well before HDTV took off, so Blu-rays will only be available if it was shot on film and Warner think it's worth remastering from scratch.
It also might be a bit pointless if widescreen versions of the masters aren't available.
Shame though!

EDIT:
BTW; this in-store deal is NOT "cheaper than online". It's a penny more (apart from you'd get 5% Quidco online and your discs sometime next year - assuming the CWU hasn't caused the complete bankruptcy of the Royal Mail).

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? gotta get down there

Noticed that also. Very small box set.

Quite a hot deal! Been monitoring for a few weeks now, and it used to be around the £69.99 mark both at HMV and Amazon.

Apparently they opened a mock version of the Central Perk Cafe in central London for 2 weeks as part of their promotion for the 15th anniversary... sadly, its closed now, although apparently it wasn't really exactly the same layout etc but there was a fake Gunther and the famous orange sofa:

but that is probably the old version of this set !! this is the "15th Anniversary Complete Collection 40 DVD Box Set"

(new Packaging) they were selling off the old BLACK box version for £40 a while ago

someones bound to say it so i might as well just get it over and done with

Whats the point in getting this when its on everyday on E4

its for when you want to watch a specific episode

Plus if you're a fan and you wanna watch quite alot in one go. Or you're not home when they're on on E4. You want the boxset? Hate adverts? The fact that E4 cut a few minutes out of each episode with the 'rude words'?

Ah yes, 'Friends'

Yet another 'comedy' for people without a sense of humour
