The Price Is Understandable

"Many fans have been upset with the price of these sets. What you need to understand is that X-Files was the first TV Show released on DVD in the US, making it difficult for 20th FOX to determine a reasonable price for these 7 disc sets. However, please also note the prices wil be going down $50 (retail) in accordance with the release of the final season."

"I got it today... with few surprises... so far for disk 1 season 8 (included in the set)
1. When played by DVD player bought in USA title menu is invisible as some other menus. Just a black screen with a music. Kind hard to navigate this dvd blindly.
2. After navigate this dvd blindly to play an episode it is appear that quality of the video is not a dvd quality, may be close to video cd.
3. Antivirus is unable to scan boot section of the dvd."

"Please go to Ebay and buy each season. I got each of the first seven seasons for only $75.00 each(including shipping). That will save you around $300.00 if you are planning to buy them on this site. Seasons 3,4, and 5 are the best ones to get started with. The Truth is Out There..."
WAY TO MUCH MONEY

"You can buy seasons 1-7 for under $500.00 or you can buy this one for around $800.00...not much more in the way of extras."
A solution to the price.

"The X-Files is THE must own TV on DVD. The series was quite possibly the best show ever on television. Every week there was something to look forward to on Friday night. Mulder and Scully's investigations into the paranormal, government conspiracies and alien abductions were always a joy to watch. Everything about the show was just golden.
That said, these DVD sets are a must have for the real fans. The picture and sound quality is way better then what it was when originally broadcast. Seasons 5-9 are also in anamorphic widescreen, a real treat.
Now on to the problem, the price. It is my understanding that Duchovny, Anderson and Carter all get a cut from the sale of these sets. With that, FOX is forced to keep the prices higher on these then other TV shows just to recover the costs and turn a profit. There are ways around this however. Buying used is a good way. I've managed to get all nine seasons for $340. You just have to wait for deals to show up. Check eBay often as someone puts up a good deal just about everyday. Another option is the Asian releases. I don't recommend these however as they are most likely bootlegs."
