Who can explain why amazon put all X-files boxsets on a waiting list to be released again on May,11?

That's the date that that Fox is lowering the price on the boxed sets. Amazon (and other retailers) put price reductions into their system this way.

A lower price? Freakin' A, maybe I can finally pick these up now.

In Moscow every season costs 110-190 U.S. dollars. But for loyal customers there is a slight discount. Of course, if you buy all seasons at once.

Ditto. I have been waiting to buy them, but its been killing me. I ended doing a trade for S1. I want the rest of the seasons, but not at what they are asking now.

hopefully it will be a good price.

I couldn't believe the other day the local B&M chain here in Sydney was selling the season sets for $80...that's about $58 US...too bad I had them all already

I noticed this last week myself. All of the online places listed the seasons as being released on 5-11. I was wondering the same thing. I did notice that the prices were significantly lower. Most online places are now selling each season for $70-$75. Woohoo!! I can finally start buying them again. I only have the first 2 so far and seasons 3 & 4 are my favorites .

I paid $82 a pop for Seasons 1-7 from North American DVD, Season 8 & 9 I'll be picking up when the new prices hit.

The availability is spotty; however, I did get seasons 1 and 2 for $63 from Amazon and season 3 is in the mail.

I am so glad that they lowered the price on the seasons...even though I already paid between $100-$140 for each god damn season! ARGH! Oh well...least I dont have to pay the $120 that I paid for S9...nearly half the price now!

Well I got my 1-7 all used (in excellent condition) for super cheap anyway, but maybe now I can get season 8. Yay! Maybe since more people will pick these more talk may happen about the movie. A girl can dream anyway...

I have always wanted to pick these sets up. Maybe now I will finally be able, but that all depends on how low the prices go.

Duchovny said that a second movie is definately happening and will probably start shooting in a year or so. Cant wait for that

well...you should be able to find em for between $60-$70 the first couple a weeks or so in stores...and online...their worth that for sure...

Yea if they are around $60 then Ill definately pick them up. Have to check what the prices will be at Costcos, I bet they will have good prices.

Anything should be better than $120 a seaon. I have been wanting them all, but that price was way to high.

60 would be the perfect price. ive also been meaning to pick these up, but with so many seasons out I couldn't afford the old price and such.

I too have been holding off on buying these because of the ridiculously high prices. Looking forward to the price drop.

so who else besides me was the schmuck who bought em all at $120?

bought all of mine new for under $100
will be getting US version of S1 to replace the crappy Asian one I bought.
Want 9 for the xtras heh heh

where can i find this preorder/waiting list?

All i see is seasons 1-7 for $800.

points and laughs. I was smart enough to buy them at the studio store for 50 a pop brand new factory sealed.

bah!

I might get a few of these. I enjoyed the shows I watched way back when. Is there a season(s) that is generally considered the best by fans?

Buy them separately -

General consensus is that the earlier seasons are better than later seasons. Were I dipping into X-Files for the first time, I'd start with the first season and go from there.

Most people liked the first five seasons, and then the show began a slide in the next two, and bottomed out in the final two.
