Farscape @ Amazon ratings:

[samati75]

PKW is #4 on the Sci-Fi fantasy pre-order list only behind LotR and 2 ahead of SG-1: S7!
The Starburst Vol. 2 editon is #13!
Season 1, Set 1 is #24!
Season 4, Set 5 is #48!

This is a good thing, huh?

Also - a question: I ordered PKW and the 1st Starburst thru Creation, but why don't I see Vol. 2 on the Creation website is Amazon is pre-ordering it?

ETA: Ok, so it seems this Season 1, set 1 is actually The Starburst Vol.1 under a wrong name. They list Vol. 2 correctly, but this one is not. How do we get Amazon to change it?

Vol. 1 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002S65LI/ref=ase_tvshowsondvdcom/102-6705471-8175355?v=glance&s=dvd#product-details)

Vol. 2 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006IIPLC/ref=pd_sim_dv_2/102-6705471-8175355?v=glance&s=dvd)

That is good news! I bet Henson is happy with these numbers.

Looks like it is in pre-order.

Fan-frelling-tastic!

Godzilla is beating SG-1? Cool.

Deepdiscountdvd.com also has Starburst Vol. 2 available for pre-order.

PKW is #4 on the Sci-Fi fantasy pre-order list only behind LotR and 2 ahead of SG-1: S7!

Actually, it's #4 for all DVDs:

But those figures are for "early adopter products" - so not ranked for pre-order sales number alone, but what's deemed to be "newest and coolest" on the basis of purchase patterns.

So no laurel-resting, folks! ;) We need more rave reviews, rating and recommendations to make sure the overall sales are good!

Awesome!

Way to go. I love those numbers!

In the long run, does it matter where you get your DVD's? Is Amazon watched more than other retailers? I already pre-ordered Vol 2 thru Deepdiscount, but to push up Amazon's numbers I don't mind paying an extra few bucks, if necessary, when I order the future volumes. Are numbers, numbers regardless?

To answer my own question, I think next time I will go thru Amazon just because I wanna see Farscape move up their chart, and I'll feel like I've done my part. :)

It doesn't matter although some (big) retailers might be able to market it better if they see things going great. But I'm no expert. :)

Hmmmmm....very good question? I wonder if we can prooke Mediasavant to answer? MS always seems to know the most obscure stuff bout how the media works....

And I'm with you, I would be willing to pay a few $$$ more to bump up the numbers and raise awareness.

[RydraWong]

Now it's the #3 Early Adopter for sf/fantasy! (Still #4 for all DVDs).

[RydraWong]

Okay, back to #4 again. Still only topped by LOTR, though.

[harveywhispers]

Number 5 - Hero topped it :(

Gotta spread the word.. :D
