The X-Files - The Complete Seasons 1-9 Reviews

Although this set comes with some of the finest special features I've ever seen with a box set (the set lacks only the X-FILES movie to be complete), it remains, like all of the individual seasons of THE X-FILES, hideously overpriced. The moralist in me reacts to the kind of gouging that takes place in sets like this. There is very little reason to price any single season of this or most other series any higher than around $60 list (so that discount outlets like Amazon would sell it for around $40), and for all nine seasons of THE X-FILES any price above around $360 discounted is completely unjustifiable, even with all the extras. I feel I ought to dock this set a star simply because of the outrageous pricing, but won't only because of my overall regard for the show. I consider the current discounted price of well over $600 to be a complete moral outrage. The content gets the five stars, not the...

This is a great box set, but it is hideously overpriced. I recommend that if you truly want this for a lower price, visit the amazon.co.uk site. You can get the UK version that was just released for �134.99. That's what I did. Ended up paying about $230 US, including S&H. Of course, this only works if you have a DVD player set to play region 2 DVDs. But that's an easy fix. :) I'm not quite sure why the US version costs almost 3 times as much as the UK version, because they both have the same episodes and extras on the 59 discs. (*edited on 12/29/05 -- for some reason, the price at Amazon.com has soared to over $800. No idea why; you'd really be better off shopping elswhere for this set.) It only takes a bit of smart shopping to find this set at a reasonable price. Just be careful...most of the really cheap sets are the Asian/Chinese imports, and you may not want those. I personally prefer the real...

Buying the first nine seasons SEPERATELY would cost nearly 200 less dollars..yes! add it up! but you do have to click your mouse 8 extra times to save hundreds, boo-hoo. The X files are always interesting to watch, and I recommend buying the seasons SEPERATELEY, not together, they are 49 bucks when you buy them seperateley, so 49 multiplied by 9 is 449 dollars, this set is 629, I HOPE YOU GET THIS! Uh OH! Amazon just raised the price to buying the seasons seperateley..from 49.99 to 74.99! HOW COULD THEY! you better buy em used unless you are loaded, of course. :-) Once again amazon changed things, the set used to be 629.99 now it is over 800 dollars, its getting rediculous! |
