If you want the bilingual cover, yuou can keep it. If you want the original monolingual cover, you can toss it in the trash along with the shrink-wrap and price sticker. Best of both worlds.

(And I got it for US$111.89, so it was a screaming bargain!)

Big day for DvDs...I'll be getting this set along with the Friends set since I don't have any seasons for either series. I don't understand why they'd be coming out on a wed. maybe it's the 14th that both sets are coming out? If so it'll be the same day as the extended King Kong.

Here's a link to a really small picture of the front of the slipcover...

I was lucky enough to pick up the Buffy Chosen Collection and Friends Boxset during the November DDD sale (Buffy was about $110, and the Friends boxset ended up being about the same after the $50 WB rebate). These are two of my more treasured collections and better DVD bargains.The Buffy set is very hard to find now, although from recent posts there seem to be some on Canada. I still see the Friends set around occasionally, but it is pretty expensive.
I am slowly making my way through Buffy (for the first time as I didn't watch it on TV). I am almost done with Season 3, and love it so far. I have a ways to go though.

I bought the Friends set when it was released. It was $250 CAD, or so.

Ok... Take a look at this...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd
I'd seen it on another site but I consider Amazon to be pretty credible... If The Chosen Collection is making a return I'm not missing out this time...

And great news for those of you who missed out the first time. I think they underestimated the demand for a collection like this.

Well, I guess it must be official... It's shown up on yet another vendor site - this time Buy.com...
Mod note: Please do not use referral/"commission" links, esp hidden as real links.
Who would have every thought a studio would re-release a title that was actually sought after without completely changing it? What a concept...

How are they allowed to do this? This set with the "exclusive" bonus disc was made and went out of print. How are they allowed to rerelease a limited set with everything exclusive to the prior one? This can't be correct or legal. The sets were supposed to be limited and numbered and contain a bonus disc only available with those sets. Does this not defeat the purpose of being limited?

First off all, I don't believe that the set was numbered. I haven't seen a number on my set, at least.
Secondly, everything is limited. It might be limited to 2 billion copies, but that's the limit. Everything eventually will go out of print.
The only way this might not be "legal" would be if the first set was advertised as "get this now because we will never make any more of them after this print run" or "we're only making 10,000 copies, and we'll never make them again." Just throwing the tag "limited" on it means nothing.

While I do not like the idea of them re-releasing the set (if you wanted it, you should have bought it when it was available), your post is really nonsensical.

and I totally agree with the above poster, Angel definately needs his own box (my friends would like to shot me for this, but while I love Buffy, I still think 'Angel' was just a little bit better...)
