The X-files Complete DVD Set - (RRP £200) only £109


£109.00

114°

FOUND BY: QuidProQuo 2 years, 7 months ago

Quite simply the best television show ever.

One of television's biggest phenomenons during its ten-year run, Chris Carter's THE X-FILES established a whole new genre of show, blending science-fiction with drama in a truly original manner. Contains all the episodes from series 1 to 9 of THE X-FILES.

"The X-Files" is the show which re-defined television. Although some episodes are a bit on the downside, the majority of X-Files episodes are true masterpieces which really challenge our "little grey cells" in a way no other TV program does. Great cinematography, great writing, great FX and an always amazing soundtrack by Mark Snow turn "The X-Files" into a chilling television experience.

I find it hard to comment on The X- Files because it simply transcends words. It's an intelligent masterpiece, an epos of beautifully complicated scenarios, plots and characters. The script, the actors and the direction make the most unbelievable seem believable and the unfathomable- unfathomably real. So thought provoking that if you really let yourself dwell in its essence, it can change the way you see the world, if only just by believing in the conviction that The Truth Is Out There.

Sale price is £109 less 5% Quidco discount.

That's a pretty good price. Play was selling the individual series for between £12 and £15, but this is cheaper if you want them all.

"Sale price is £109 less 5% Quidco discount."

Which means £109 should be in the subject and price box.

I've been watching the price on this set for a while now and with this low price decided to order.

I considered the individual sets but I think if you buy them you only get 58 DVD's compared to 63 with this box set.

Never used Bensons before but they get good ratings.

I don't mean to put anyone off, but beware this box has had bad reviews; discs floating around inside cases, scratched up, discs not working. I worked at an entertainment store and saw this being bought, and returned the next day,

Yeah that could be it. There's 6 discs in every series so there's 54 discs, but I think only about 4 or 5 of the series have a bonus disc, so that'd be about 58. Wonder what the extra 5 discs are with this set - I wonder if it comes with Fight The Future?

Could you point me to the 10% discount, the only one I can find is now expired. This would bring the price down to £101.70 inc Quidco.

Thanks

Registered just to say DO NOT BUY

This collection is made from inconsistent box sets, some are special edition while others are not.
This means for some series you will get better documentaries and others you will just get the shows.

It has also been noted that Fox is filling these boxes with recalled stock, scratched discs and stuff that doesn't sell at full price. The production values on this do not compare to other Fox DVDs like Futurama (excellent btw)

I would highly recommend, if you are an x-files fan to buy the series individually. Most can be had for £9, where as the more popular/recent ones are £15 at most.

The saving is minimal, and the box itself is actually very flimsy and poor considering what you're paying.

Seeya.
