I was in Target the other day, and saw X-files Season 1 priced at 39.99. I doubt that this is YMMV because they clearly had the sale price sign marked for this set. I have never seen this set priced this cheap. The other seasons were marked higher though.

The crazy thing is I went to Best Buy down the road, and the exact same boxset was priced at 96.00 bucks. Just crazy.

Not the same set. Starting with Season 1 (supposed to be January), they're repackaging the sets in slimline cases and cutting the MSRP down to $49.95 or less.

The repackaged sets are NOT suppose to be released until Jan 31. Probably the old digipak with a YMMV or new national regular sale to get you to start buying the series.


As for BB, they don't always update their stickers, which is why I wish they have a price scanner (a la wal*mart) in the DVD aisles. Then again, maybe they put their prices back up to SRP.


I'm personally going to wait until all 9 are released in the thinpaks and get a bigger discount.

It is definitely the same set. The big thick one with the silver cover.

I realize this is about Season 1, but I did see Seasons 2 and 3 at the Grandville, MI Best Buy for $41.99 today. Season 1 was still marked $96.99 though. Weird.

Stores will probably try and clear out the old sets before they get the new ones at the end of the month.

Remember the general public is not aware of everything us dorks are and they will eat up the markdowns thinking its the best deal ever.

Just seasons 1-3. Seasons 4-6 will be re-released in late March. No word on re-releases for 7-9 yet, but I'm sure they will later this year...

No kidding. The OP wasn't talking about the later seasons regardless.
