Torchwood series 2 on sale at Play

[julesjones]

Play has apparently gone mad -- they are currently listing the Region 2 boxed set of Torchwood series 2 for pre-order at 14.99 rather than the list price of 49.99:

There has been some speculation as to whether this is an error; if it is they can cancel the order. But it's been like that for a day or two, so it may well be real. The set is due for release on 30 June.

ETA: The evil giant South American river still has the boxed set of series 1 at 22 quid. I am Not Pleased with them at the moment, but since there is a massive saving right now, here's the link: Torchwood : Complete BBC Series 1 Box Set [2006]

They're also taking orders for the Blu-ray edition of series 1, due out in June and currently 42 quid: Torchwood - Series 1 - Complete [Blu-ray] [2006]

I got the email of doom this morning as well. I'm honestly not that surprised. But I knew Amazon's price on series 1 was right, because I'd ordered and received the set myself at that price last month. My thought was that it was to get people interested in the series 2 set plus clearing some of the stock before the BluRay version is released.

I suspect that I'll cave and get the boxed set immediately instead of waiting for it to come down to a sane price. There's just too much good stuff in there that I want to watch again, and I'm not just talking about the porn, good though the porn is.

I always thought the S1 box set was overpriced. I mainly wanted it so I can prepare more Torchwood Wobblevision scripts. It'll be a while before I've done all of S1 (I've only prepared five episodes so far, using rental DVDs) so I can afford to wait a while for S2.
