If you havn't seen the CBS site recently, a DVD Boxed Set of BB3 is now available for around $70. Go order yours now! Now if only they would release BB1 & 2.

I wish they'd release a "never before seen clips" thing a la "The Real World." The DVD offers the HG's interview segments, but I'd like to see a blooper segment etc. Things that didn't make it onto the TV show.

I was hoping for BB1 as well since I never really got into it and now wish I had. They should REALLY do a box set for at LEAST BB2 (The best US BB, IMO) and BB1.. "See how it all started!"

They'd probably sell decently if they made it just the shows, no extras, but very cheap. Although BB1 was every night, wasn't it? (i.e., lots of episodes)

Ugh. BB3 is my least favorite BB to date. Oh well, it's definitely a start.

Justin42, it wasn't every single night, I believe it wasn't on Sundays, but it was only a 1/2hour most nights. They could easily do some sort of 'best of' momments as well as putting in some nude stuff (Roddy was always nude in BB3) and I bet more people would pay the price to see all 3 years

Hmmm... I looked on the site and I didn't see anything about "12 hours of bonus footage". All it says is you get all 32 episodes plus "Bonus features including never before seen audition tapes of all 12 original cast members".

If the "bonus features" are just going to be the audition tapes, then.... meh. No thanks. They need to advertise new material never seen before, and it had best be good, not like those lame two extra clips or so they put on the Survivor DVDs. Those DVDs were so lame, it's no wonder why they stopped making them.

Now if they would only make an Amazing Race DVD - now that I would buy in an instant.

I thought the Survivor 1 dvd was awesome. They had a lot of unseen footage, all the speeches they gave when voting for someone and how things really went, I was riveted.

As for getting the BB3 DVD, I'd love to but not for $70... maybe check ebay eventually.

70.00 bucks is a bit much. Just another way to try a rip off the shows following. Squeeze it for every dime you can....

They give you the shot glass so that you can handle BB4!!!!!

I work at a Borders, and the only way I'll buy it is if we have a big sale on it. Lol

Ryn had inside info on this back and June and posted a thread on it.
I bought both Survivor videos. They were OK- but I only watched them once and really have no need to watch them again. Would I buy more- yes.
Will I buy BB3 for $69.95- I hope not- but if many people buy it and say it was worth it, I might cave in.

WE WANT BB1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i went to the grocery store yesterday and spent 150.00 and the food will be gone in a few days.
i bought a gym package for 350.00 for a yr and i do pilates, yoga, weights, and treadmill at my house. i went to the gym about 15 times in the last 6 mths.
i guess i could spend 70.00 pretty easily.

I'll hold out for BB1 on DVD.

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for DVD box sets - like BB, it's a sickness. :) I won't actively search this box set out (ie: order it from CBS or Amazon.) But, if I see it at the Borders I go to or Coconuts, I'll probably pick it up. LOL!

And, if they release box sets of BB1 and BB2, same thing. (Again, it's a sickness.) I can see one for BB2. For BB1, I don't know since Arnie wasn't the producer for that series, the original creater of BB was.

Wait! It says, "not available in stores yet." That means it will be, and you'll be able to get it from Amazon or wherever discounted at least 25%. When you buy from cbs direct you're paying full retail price. The dvd set will most likely be announced this week. Keep checking www.dvdpricesearch.com they update every Monday and Thursday.

I'm much too big of a fan to not get this.

No mention on Amazon or Barnes and Noble--and they usually have pre-release information for everything. That either means it won't be on sale through them for a while, that they will suddenly appear in the coming weeks, or that CBS is withholding them from other retailers for now.

Just talked to the guy who runs the CBS Store at the Ed Sullivan Theatre here in Manhattan (1697 Broadway at 53rd Street, 212/975-8600). He says the CBS Store will not be carrying the DVD--you can only get them online. I also asked if CBS would be selling them through other retailers, and he said, no, it would only be available online.

Don't know if he knows the real situation, but the's the closest thing to an expert we've had so far. If you believe him, it won't be on sale at stores anytime soon.

$70 plus shipping (but its only US & Canada) plus Customs (UK here) will cost me a fortune.

My only option is to wait to see IF someone hopefully rips it and posts it to the newsgroups. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come like they are cashing in on the show while it is still on air.

I actually have all of BB2 backed up on CDR's laying around in the attic somewhere i think. Time to dig them out and trasnfer them onto DVD-R (my latest PC upgrade). :)

I can't believe this topic isn't bigger news on this board today!

Is anyone else going to buy one? I think it's so cool that they're doing this! Finally--some respect!

The price is hard to take but I think I'm going to go for it.

I have to admit the ad page at CBS is a little vague, and it's full of typos. Doesn't make me think the final product will be as high-quality as it should be...

Yeah, like O_I I think I'll be going for it too.

gosh darn dvd box set addiction!

It seems a little expensive, but I guess there are a bunch of hours worth of viewing on them. I'll probably pass for now. Too bad they are not releasing them in order starting with BB1 (which would be huge given that it was on TV 5 days a week.)

I wonder if there would be ownership problems with the first season though?

It was on 5 days a week, but only for 30 mins, except maybe on eviction day, which I think was a whole hour. So we get the same amount of BB if my math is right.

I'd love to get BB2 on DVD with Will and Nicole.
