Welcome back Carter!

(tags TV, ER, DVD Region 2)

I have to accelerate my ER (Emergency Room) DVD purchasing.

It seems that the ER half-season DVD bundles are really popular at that price point: 5000 yen for a season (2 packs at 2500 yen). Of course this is the "bargain basement" (廉価版) version, not the first release. Compare that to season 1 of MacGyver which goes for a wicked 13500 yen, or Star Trek (TOS, NG, DS5, Voy) which is a whopping 23000+ yen per season. Just two weeks ago when I went to the shop, there were plenty to be had, but just yesterday there were none! Looks like I'm going to looking for Sofmaps along the way.

According to Wikipedia English and Amazon US, ER has yet to reach past season 4 in the U.S. But all 10 seasons are available now in Japan, and 9 of them are at that 5000 yen price point. Bring it on!
