New X-Files DVDs?

Does anybody know what the difference is between the new X-Files Season DVDs in the slim packaging VS. the original releases in the fold-out cases? Are they the exact same DVDs with the exact same features, commentaries, documentaries, TV spots, etc that the originals had - just in new packages?

I'm trying to determine if I should get the new packaged product or not. Those old packages' slip cases fall apart. Fox won't replace just the packaging for me either.

Any knowledgable advice is appreciated.

Michael

I heard a few people say in the DDD 20% off sale threads that the new, cheaper versions left off a lot of special features.

Seasons 6, 7 & 8 are identical to the previous releases as far as bonus features. The rest are missing the bonus discs that were originally included. Anything that was mixed in with the episodes (commentaries, cast list, etc.) are still on these new sets.

Although that thread didn't keep up to mention that the later seasons had all the special features (I think).

I was one of the people who paid big money for all 9 dvd sets from the X-Files, I bought each set as they came out and paid alot for them. We have to have some positive reasons why we paid so much! We got the bonus features and the new people just climbing on board ain't getting them! YES!
