The only sites I've seen that carry any B5 VCDs are limited to a couple of TV movies - The Gathering, In the Beginning and (just recently) Thirdspace. Since the first two are available on one (U.S., Australia/NZ) or two (U.K.) DVDs instead of four VCDs, I don't see much point in buying them.
The movies sell for around $13 each, plus shipping. Presumably two episodes would cost about the same, so we're looking at $260 a season. At those prices you could buy the upcoming S1 DVD set and have enough money left over to buy a DVD player if you don't already have one.
I saw a post from someone who said he recently bought Crusade on VCD from a retailer, and I've asked him for a URL because I know KoshN is looking for them. If I get an address I'll be happy to pass it along, but I would have to advise waiting a month or two to see if we get an official announcement from Warner Bros. on the DVDs before you invest any money in VCD.

Ah, that makes sense, and is about the only reason I can think of for wanting the show on VCD. Still, I'd do the math. If you're going to buy more than a few episodes from a given season, the boxed set might still make more sense. There's no law that says you have to watch them all. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
