    Hey, I don't know if I should get the Book 1 DVD collection or not. I
    have all 20 episodes from season 1 on a DVD disc (in avi file...) and I
    am planning to buy a mp3 player which is $250 (Zen Vision M) in two weeks.

    Should I get the box set? Is it worth it?

    You can get it for ~$44, so if you have a source of income, it's not much of an investment.

    At Wal-Mart it's 52 dollars which made me change my mind. However as I don't have the set, I can't really give you advice. If it's something you truly wanted and money's not a problem, go for it! As for me, I have the same problem! I'm wondering if 52 dollars is worth it.

    Eh, I don't have the set, either, but from what some people have said about the bonus 6th disc, it doesn't seem incredibly worth every cent.

    If you're like me, I'd buy one of the single disc releases that has the greatest amount of really good episodes (in my opinion, volumes 4 and 5).

    There's also the whole deal with betting official stuff. If I'd have to choose, I'd get an official thing over something recorded with the little Nick logo in the corner. But on the other hand, there's the whole deal with the special features. I'm not so sure with volumes 1-3, but vol. 4 has a little schematic of "Bato of the Water Tribe" and vol. 5 has audio commentary if you're into that kinda stuff.

    ??I find it was worth it. Each disc comes with some kind of documentary of behind the scenes stuff.?? I've never compared it against the single discs, so I don't know if they are the same discs.?? I'm the kind of person that likes to have the entire thing so that I have continuity.?? Sometimes, I like to rewatch from the beginning to see if there are hints early on of things to come.?? Like re-reading a good book.?? The DVDs are cleaner visually, and I don't have to bother with commercials or the credits being squashed.
