@w1seguys And I'm sure that would look great displayed on my shelf. Not interested in streaming video, thanks. Physical media with cool packaging all the way!

@EshnehGaming theyre both as good as each other, both phenomenal programmes, if i had to choose a better show out of the 2 id probably just choose the x files , only just tho, both sensational, up there with the reimagined bsg !!

Its different from the UK one :/ Completely different packaging... The UK one is in DVD boxes (big ones) and isn't like this :(

OMG!! This is so awesome! The X Files is my new obsession. I bet that was very expensive. I love how it has that extra stuff in the little black drawer and all the seasons. I have Season one, Fight the Future, season six, and the second film that was in production when your set was released. I've gotten the sets individually for a good price but I love how it all fits neatly in the box and how the movie fits snug between seasons 5 ad 6. I haven't gotten the rest yet.
do you know if seasons 1 2 3 and 4 within the box set are original 4:3 format? or have they been converted to 16:9 like seasons 5 onwards have?

@TSHUETT Yes, all the seasons are in the proper aspect ratio. Season 1-5 are 4:3, 6 onward was actually shot 16x9, and that's how they're presented here. Nothing has been cropped.

@Zaranyzerak Just to clarify. I know seasons 6 onwards were shot at 16.9 and therefor presented at 16.9.
and that seasons 1- 5 were shot at 4.3 BUT are seasons 1-5 still presented at 4.3 OR have they been scaled to 16.9 for continuity into seasons 6 onwards?

@TSHUETT Yes, I know what you mean. Season 1-5 are 4:3 on the set, they haven't been cropped to 16:9. All the seasons are presented in their correct aspect ratios. Watching them on my 4:3 TV, they fill the screen and the 16:9 episodes appear letterboxed. on my 16:9 display, the 4:3 episodes appear pillarboxed and the 16:9 episodes fill the screen. They're all correct and un-cropped/altered.

I've been through 3 of these sets, factory sealed, in the past 5 months and all of them have been defective. Most episodes skip and get distorted. All the discs seem to have a series of scratches in the same spot on each disc, as if it were a manufacturing issue. I've seen reviews of others having this same issue. Really, it's plain unfair. I really wanted this.

@Webhead731 This may be a silly question, but are you absolutely sure it was the official set and not a Chinese Bootleg version? I had two of these sets and experienced no playback issues. The only reason I had to return the first set was because one of the discs was a duplicate, so I was missing one.
