Angel Seasons 2-5 were 16:9. The first season was 4:3, if I remember correctly.

That's correct- on DVD. Season 2 was expanded for DVD but was originally 4:3. Why some people continue to think otherwise is a mystery.

"Pictures?!?!?" isn't exactly a specific request. Feel free to elaborate.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I originally hated these shows but, given how much I loved Firefly (and Serenity), I'm thinking about giving these shows another shot.

I'd like to see some pictures of the disc art, if possible, unless they're exactly the same as the previous discs.

Definitely give Angel and Buffy another shot. If you buy them, watch them as they're meant to be watched, though - watch seasons 1-3 of Buffy, then alternate episodes from there on out (Episode I (Season 4) of Buffy, Epsiode I (Season 1) of Angel, and so on. It really enriches the viewing of the shows, as sometimes they have storylines that tie in with one another.

Yes, I'd very much like to see some pictures of different aspects of the box. The main thing that's keeping me unsure of whether I want to sell seasons 1-4 and get this box is the really nice artwork on the individual boxes.

Of people getting this through the mail (some people have gotten it, right?) -- how is this set doing as far as floaters are concerned? I know the individual box sets had some floater issues (some first hand experience there). Did they learn from their mistake and come up with more secure packaging?

This set is great! I just got it in the mail today from Digital Eyes and it is better than expected. The disc art is exactly the same as the previous releases...but the box is great! The discs were packed in tightly...no one single floater!

My main concern was it being hard to store on a shelf because of its height...however...it is actually the same height as the normal Buffy or Angel box sets...so it fits PERFECTLY!

Here are some pics...

I have all 7 individual sets and i have no desire to replace them with this set. Like you said, your losing alot of nie artwork if you switch. I would like to check out the bonus disc though.

What about the booklet? Does it have the same booklets as the individual sets or did they combine all of them into one booklet?

No floaters at all to speak of. Only issue was a slight crack in the top plastic...nothing worth getting upset over.

And Preditor...I have that same type of rack for my dvds.

It's combined into one large booklet. It's very nicely done.

You will need to look in the booklet...it will tell you what disc it is on...just flip to the Season 4 section...

Like I said, disc art is exactly the same as the previous season releases...but this set is very nice

Preditor, thanks for the pics. Could you also take some of how the discs are actually housed, though?
