Complete Boxsets (SATC - Buffy)

julienUK · 09-16-2005, 08:52 AM

Thanks to TVSOD I learned that full boxsets of sex and the city and Buffy were about to be released.

I feel kind of let down by this.
I bought each boxset when they were released and waited quite a while to complete my collection.

So why shouldn't I get extras and a nice box to put the ones I have??

Studios should really give the option to buy any extra discs present in that kind of packages, and of course any 'nice' box that we could buy empty.

Same happenned here in the UK with Roswell, that I bought and then they made a very cool boxset with the 3 seasons.

I just cannot justify buying shows twice even if I'm a fan.

Was just wondering what other members were feeling about that kind of releases?

Thank u.

It sucks!

I just sold 4 seasons of Buffy in order to get the new set. I hear there is an ANGEL one coming too, I only have S1.

What they ought to do is let fans buy the box, similar to what they are doing for the WB's friends set.

I got the HIGHLANDER box for $1 + s/h and it's cool, even though it's basically just a shoe-box.

I don't care when they just bundle all the seasons together into one big box. But as soon as an exclusive bonus disc is involved I get angry.

I get angry too, becaus eI do not think that it is a way to treat consumers who made the effort to actually spend hard earned $$ to buy each box set.

Very annoyed on this one.

Yeah, with Friends I don't really see a point in getting mad since it's just the box. When they come with exclusive bonus features, it ticks me off.

Yep, and a book.

Imagine if they do this with the Simpsons 13 years from now...

OWN all 30 seasons inside a GIANT Krusty Burger box plus a bonus disc not available anywhere else!

mmm... Krusty Burgers!

I'm going to try to buy just the Buffy box on E-Bay if I can after it's released.

I think that may be very difficult to do, and what would you do with just the box? The regular sets probably wouldn't fit in it.

Personally, I am extremely pissed off about the bonus disc of extras. Why reward those who passed on all the original releases that the majority of fans have picked up already? I see absolutely no logic in that. The bonus disc should be released separately so that everyone is happy.

Not the first time Fox has done this either.....remember the bonus disc on the Baz Luhrman boxset a few years back? I'm still pissed about that one too.
