DVD Releases
For Region 1 releases, AD Vision originally issued Farscape in a series of 2-disc volumes, five volumes per season, which were later collected into full season box sets. They later re-released the series in larger 4-disc volumes under the "Starburst Edition" moniker, three volumes per season with additional extras not available on the original volume sets. All of these sets are long out of print.
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars was released to DVD in January 2005 by Lions Gate Entertainment and is still available as of mid-2010.
More recently, A&E Home Video has released a Farscape Complete Series Collection and individual season sets. This complete series box set includes a bonus two-disc collection of featurettes, most of which were recycled from ADV's old DVD sets but notably adding Farscape Undressed, a Farscape special that was created between the second and third seasons to catch up fans on the events that had happened up to that point. The Peacekeeper Wars is not included in the complete series set because Lions Gate still retains the rights to the mini series although upon its release, US retailer Best Buy had a limited number of complete series sets which did include The Peacekeeper Wars as a store exclusive. The two miniseries discs were identical to those of the normal Lions Gate release and were included in the last DVD case along with the two discs of bonus material that normally come with the complete series set.
The Region 2 and Region 4 box sets contain Seasons 1–4 as well as the Peacekeeper Wars television movie.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
