The X-Files - The Complete Seasons 1-7 2003 Horror Movie Review

The X-Files is THE must own TV on DVD.  The series was quite possibly the best show ever on television.  Every week there was something to look forward to on Friday night.  Mulder and Scully’s investigations into the paranormal, government conspiracies and alien abductions were always a joy to watch.  Everything about the show was just golden. 


That said, these DVD sets are a must have for the real fans.  The picture and sound quality is way better then what it was when originally broadcast.  Seasons 5-9 are also in anamorphic widescreen, a real treat. 


Now on to the problem, the price.  It is my understanding that Duchovny, Anderson and Carter all get a cut from the sale of these sets.  With that, FOX is forced to keep the prices higher on these then other TV shows just to recover the costs and turn a profit.  There are ways around this however.  Buying used is a good way.  I’ve managed to get all nine seasons for $340.  You just have to wait for deals to show up.  Check eBay often as someone puts up a good deal just about everyday.  Another option is the Asian releases.  I don’t recommend these however as they are most likely bootlegs.
