If the first volume sells out I wonder if at some point the download version's price comes a little more down to Earth. Good news on v.2. After the first volume I'm much more comfortable with the mixture of new material & reimagined episodes. Still hoping more of the former and less of the latter though.

I think there'll be a few folks who DID splash for Vol 1 a bit annoyed that Vol. 2 is going to be in a totally different design format!

Well there still the issue of getting volume 1. I wonder if it will go on sale before Volume 2 (at least the DL version). Not sure if ppl will be upset if it is on sale about a year after.

I'm sure it could go on sale in the future with no issues - everything could - but as far as I'm concerned the Prisoner saga is over. They couldn't reduce the price of Vol 1 now with so many having paid full whack so it's spilt milk really - making sure the issue didn't happen again was the best we could hope for and we've got that

I am just wondering if I should wait for a sale and if could come before Vol 2. I have till next year so there is a bit of time. I need to think about my Big Finish expense budget.

To get honest I don't care about the format, I'm just happy that vol 2 is much more reasonably priced. Download order here I come (on payday lol).
Cheers

Cheers Tony I wonder if the lower price with standard packaging - and COMPLETE elimination of the deluxe edition - means that the first volume hasn't sold as well as expected? A download customer will get exactly the same package next year - 4 stories and an extras disc, I bet a few who didn't quille too much before will wonder why they had to pay more for Vol 1 now they've realised there wasn't much "deluxe" about their download if the same deal is a third cheaper next year!

Quite possibly. Of course, I like to think they've listened in on the forum and taken our posts into consideration . Problem is, as fans we'll always find something to complain about lol. My biggest issue has always been about the cost of the download so I'm glad that's been addressed. I'm just glad I don't suffer from Ocd, or the change in package format would irritate the hell out of me. Cheers Tony

Add another person very happy that the next box set is at a more reasonable price. I'm now thinking of just going for the download the first Vol and not wait for a possible (but improbable) sale on it. If all the future sets were going to be that expensive I was going to pass on it.

I have no problem buying the second volume of The Prisoner on download for that price; I would have happily paid €20 for Vol 1. The problem is now, I can't buy the second volume unless I've heard the first one...

I will now wait to see if it goes on sale for twenty quid at any time before volume two comes out. I think it will, otherwise rhat lower price point makes no sense. Nobody who can't afford volume 1 is going to buy volume 2 on its own.

I expect if it does go on sale it won't be until much much closer to volume 2's release date. I wouldn't expect a sale until December of this year or even January 2017 right before vol 2 is released.

Anyway, count me as someone who doesn't give a frak about deluxe packaging or sets matching on the shelf. No way around it, vol.1 was priced out of a lot of people's range. And oh by the way, thanks for the more reasonable price tag and I just pre-ordered volume 2.

Have to say the news that volume 2 is more affordable has made me rethink about buying volume 1 from Amazon and getting it from big finish instead. Seeing as volume 2 isn't as expensive I know the luxury £40 volume 1 price is a 1 off and not a continuing thing. There is also the ocd thing of not having series 1 without season 2 on my big finish account. I suppose I can get the cd of prisoner plus downloads of Churchill and avengers 5 (when it comes out) and get the 10 percent discount which for over £50 is about £8.20 off. £31.80 isn't too bad i suppose and round about how much I would have went on it. It might be 2 quid more expensive than Amazon but there is no download so I think it's worth the extra
