From the Earth To The Moon. How many discs?

colinb07958 · 30-03-2006, 10:55 AM

I saw this set on the HMV website for the cheapest price, however it says there are 4 discs in the set. Every other site says that there are 5 discs in the set. Does anyone have this set from HMV? or can they confirm how many discs are in this set. I have phoned a HMV store and they checked the computer at the store and it says 4 discs.

Help

Rats. I thought from the thread title I was going to find out how many DVDs side-by-side it would take to stretch from the Earth to the Moon.

More like 2 billion, by my extremely rough estimate.

Can we please keep on topic. Does anyone own this set? or has anyone bought it from HMV. Does it have 4 or 5 discs?

Sorry, I haven't got it. But I see that Amazon also says it's 4 discs:

Perhaps the 5-disc version is a different edition.

I am well confused now

But Play [http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=s...n&page=search] says 5 discs????

Seems there are 2 versions. One 5 disc on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/From-The-Earth...QQcmdZViewItem and another [which I assume to be 4 discs] http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/From-The-Earth...QQcmdZViewItem

HUH??? What is the difference? Anyone know?

Well, the first ebay link above is to the German set. & the second is the new UK edition.

The original US R1 edition was 4 discs. 4 episodes per disc on the first 3 discs, & the 4th disc was supplements.

The new US R1 set (Signature edition, 16x9 transfers, dts etc) is 5 discs, with the episodes split over the first 4 discs & the 5th for the supplements.

The special features listed on most sites seem to mirror the US Signature edition.

I can't imagine they'd release 2 seperate editions in the UK.

Cheers Mate. I just phoned play.com who were not much help. So I think I will just get the 4 disc version.

Update: I looked in Virgin Megastore and the version they have looks like its the 4 disc version too. Maybe Play.com have a exclusive version or something. but they dont have any details when I phoned them.

however just seen that loaded247 version is 5 discs too???

Does anyone know who I can email to find out how many actual discs this set has? ie the distributor?
