I need some help. I want to get the first 4 seasons of Full House for my collection. I waited until Amazon lowered the prices, and now it's $16.99 per season. Not bad, I thought. I wanted to buy all of them at once before Amazon increased the price back to what it normally is. However, $67.96 is a bit too steep for me, and I know places where I could purchase DVD clones of the 1st 4 seasons for around $35.

So my question is, assuming both the retail DVD's and clones produce the same material and quality, is there anything with the packaging that would make it more worthwhile for me to pay the extra $30.00 and buy the retail DVD's? For example, does the packaging include rare photos, a booklet, or anything like that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Not really, the cover art looks the same as the ones above, the back has info on the season and a couple of pictures that aren't seen much, but they're not rare! Seasons 1 & 2 have an outter box, then inside is the flip case, which has the same cover atr, but a different back cover, featuring just a picture of the family and the names of the cast and crew on the bottom. Once you open it there is a panel that lists all 22 episodes with NO discriptions, and next to it is a picture. Season 1 has Jesse and Joey kissing Michelle, and season 2 has Joey trying to shave Jesse from when he broke his arms. Then when you open it all the way, it features a side pocket which has a booklet with photos of each individual cast member, and their names, as well as their characters name! It also lists all of the episodes, including a brief description, original airdates, and crew members for that episode, and a couple photos from different episodes that season. Then there's the pannel that features all the disc, disc 1 is stacked on top of disc 2, so you have to remove disc 1 to get to disc 2. Same with discs three and four. If you remove all of the discs, it reveals a cast photo. For seasons 3 & 4, it's just one cover, that has two little disc covers inside. On one side of the disc cover it has a list of all the episodes, including a brief description, original airdates, and crew members for that episode, and a couple photos from different episodes that season for one dics, then the the other side has the same info for the other discs. When you open the small case it has two discs in there that are NOT stacked on top of each other, if you remove the two discs there's photos of each individual cast member, and their names, as well as their characters name! I hope this helped (BTW, the info on seasons 3 & 4 goes for the last four seasons as well)!
