I missed the "Twin Peaks" Season One DVD boat hoping there'd be a release of both seasons in one set and now it's $90. Season Two is available for a scant $36, but then I read things like this:
We've got a bit of an update for you today on CBS/Paramount's plans for David Lynch's Twin Peaks TV series on DVD in 2007. As most of you should know by now, the long-awaited Twin Peaks: The Second Season is already set to hit DVD on 4/10. Our sources are telling us that this release is designed for those who may already have Season One (released back in 2001 by Artisan/Republic) and the unaired pilot episode (released on DVD in Japan and available only as an import) on disc. However, for those of you who are patient and want it all in one shot... we're told to expect CBS/Paramount to announce a Twin Peaks: The Complete Series box set for release later in 2007 that contains both seasons AND the pilot episode, PLUS lots of newly-produced extras. Watch for details on the box set to be announced in the next few months.

Now obviously the release date was incorrect, but is that really that important? So, all 6 of you, do I order Season Two and save my pennies for One or do I wait, potentially in vain, for the entire set? Do note that I have the VHS copies of everything that I bought years ago on eBay for $110. (Yes. You read that right.) So, vote away, and remember, the owls are not what they seem.

I'd say wait it out. Even if the all-in-one set is just a rumor, the Season 2 box set should still be in print. I have the Season 1 box set, yet I will still buy the complete set if/when it's released. I have the Asian import edition of the pilot, but the sound and picture quality are almost too painful to sit through.
Like Sean, I picked up the first season DVD set a few years back, when there seemed to be no hope of a second season ever arriving. While the shows look gorgeous, the set itself have a few glitches in the menus and navigation that occasionally make it hard to get to the shows in order to watch them. Supposedly the massive whole-show set is going to fix some of these problems, which is partially why I am planning on replacing my set with the whole thing.
Also, the inclusion of the pilot is crucial -- the first series set is nice, but one does feel like one is missing the real beginning.
I love the validation provided me by these two comments. I agree. I waited for the Season One because I thought there wouldn't be a Season Two and rationalized it away with a "well I have BOTH on VHS which is better than one on DVD". So, I'll wait. Bless you both. And when it does finally appear, I'm thinkin' Twin Peaks party again.
Definitely wait. Give delayed gratification its proper respect.
Wait. Tom and I are waiting. Not patiently, mind you. But waiting. We also have it all on VHS. We recorded it when it was originally aired.
