A guuy in the Sydney Trading Post was advertising "the complete
sinfield" for $250.

I was tempted to get it to see if it had the TV1 logo in the corner, as
about a year ago TV1 had a sinfield marathon, showing every episode, and
I was pretty sure it was never relased on DVD.

Its how I got my Men Behaving Badly, when UKTV ran all the episodes on
Boxing Day.... I even went out and bought a DVD recorder to do it

These complete collections aren't the real releases. They are currently in
'talks' over how much JLD, MR, and JA will get for their voice-overs and
special-commentaries (currntly being offered $100k each). LD and JS would
make a thousand times more money from the selling of the DVD's that the
other 3, so they are currnelty in dispute.

I have considered buying the 23 disc set from a US website for $250 in the
mean-time, because it will probably be 5 years until all 9 series are
released by columbia-tristar...

Its not genuine its a pirate, there are quite a few pirated versions
of TV shows not on DVD around.

Well..... it was only a $500 Omni one, and if I bought the men Behaving
Badly series, it is $240, (EzyDVD, was out of stock, when I went to get it)

So it did not cost me much in the scheme of things

I heard that the dispute is actually over the royalties for the DVD sales.
Jerry Seinfeld is in for a nice piece of the pie but the other three stars
are getting nothing on top of their commentary fees.
