Nice. Might pick this up at some point if the price gets down low enough. Too bad they didn't include the two films.

Yeah, kinda weird they didn't do that. You could just toss this in there for now.

This still gives me hope that they will release the complete series of 24!!

Wow that looks beautiful, never owned the season sets so I would love to have this set. No need to include the movies since most fans who would buy this already have the blurays.

off topic a little, but is the new series a direct continuation of the original series and movies?

I was just thinking that. That price is a tough pill to swallow for something that I already own, and paid a pretty penny for, in SD. And how many times am I really going to watch the series again? At least once, if I got the new set. But is it worth the money to watch it possibly only once in HD?

If the picture of the new set is accurate, it looks like it may be about 15 inches wide. Just going by the picture, it looks like it may be a little more than three times as wide as it is deep.

Mulder and Scully and several of the key supporting characters from the original series are back. It's 100% season 10.
I have the previous complete series box set on DVD. This might be worth it just to get to watch those earlier seasons in 16:9 HD. They look kind of rough in 4:3 SD.

And I totally remember the days of single seasons for $150!

The other thing aside from this not containing the two films I don't like is that if the re-launch takes off and the series comes back for more seasons this set won't be complete very long. Granted I know it is being advertised as the original series but I'd almost prefer the sets be available individually.

I don't remember the pricing for the first Star Trek complete seasons.

Will be very interesting to see if they contain all the original extras. Fox seemed to dump many of them over time. Could have been to save space, or could have been another reason. We'll see if they make it to the blu-rays.
Do the new HD versions available online add more information on the sides of the early seasons or crop off the top and bottom?
I held off buying X-Files DVD's until the season sets hit Costco. Seem to remember searching through boxes to find the best copies of each season. Don't remember the price, but I think it was in the 49.99 ea range.

Personally, I only want Seasons 1-5.

I haven't seen anything to suggest it is a reboot.
The term "reboot" is being misused a lot lately.
Star Wars 7 is being referred to as a reboot, when it is actually a sequel, as is the new X-Files series.
Reboot doesn't mean something is simply coming back after a long absence. A reboot means something is being remade (i.e. the new Ghostbusters movie which starts from scratch to tell a similar story as the original).

I ordered it before foxconnect.com took the page down and it still shows as processing in my account. Hopefully for the Complete Series box set FOX offers both framing for the first seasons like the Battlestar Galactica series.
