Summary: My First Boxed Set :)
Review: This is my first boxed set, and it has set an extremely high standard for all that follow. My only recommendation is that the box should be slightly sturdier given that you are always taking disks in and out.

I have never watched much of the X Files on television, bar a few episodes here and there - I guess it was the movie that really bought me into the fold.

So to date, I have only seen the first season in completion, and I really enjoyed it. The X Files has excellent cinamatography and the production/direction is first class. The ability to create such atmospheric scenes with movie class actors is rarely seen on TV these days.

I think the mythology epsiodes are well told, whilst not giving away too much of the conspiracy. There are some fantastic single episodes including Stretch & Tooms, Conduit, Ice, Beyond the Sea, and Darkness Falls.

Providing all of the episodes in order on the boxed set is absolutely the right thing to do. I hope more studios stand up and take notice of this.

This has been my most enjoyable DVD purchase so far, even though it is not in widescreen and doesn't have 5.1 sound. Says something about the quality of the X Files I think.

Summary: X-Files season 1 start of a cult classic!!
Review: This is a must have,this is where it all began.Oozing,UFO's,body snatchings,reminded me of "Kolchek:Night Stalker" back in the 70's.The acting is awesome,the chemistry between Scully(Anderson) and Mulder(Duchovny) is what makes this series work!!

Summary: The Way TV Shows Should Be on DVD
Review: I started watching the X-Files when the movie came out. I never had the chance to see the show from the start. The DVD collection of the first season now allows me to do so. However, this is much more than just watching the episodes to catch up on the older stories. This is the best collection of episodes of any TV program that I have ever seen. In this collection, you get 7 DVD's with 4 episodes each. Plus, disk 7 is loaded with extras. Compare this to paying...for 2 episodes each of Star Trek. This is the best value I have ever seen in DVD. This is a must have for fans and non-fans alike. Well worh the money!

Summary: Superb quality
Review: The layout is excellent as is the quality of the DVD itself. I've bought new DVD's and found errors in the manufacturing, however this set is as good as quality can get. If you love the X-files and own a DVD player you will no doubt want to collect all the seasons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If You are Debating About Buying This
Review: I love the X files. I have for years. When I saw that the COMPLETE first season (and second)I thought I couldn't go without it. But, it is very expensive. I am only 16, and I don't have a job right now during the school year. I was debating whether or not to buy this, but when I did, I would not take it back. It is probably the best thing about DVD that I can think of.

Every episode from Season One is here. I don't think you could find anything better than this. The discs all have different labels, though the same in style. They are put together very well. There are four episodes per disc. Each epidsode has somewhere up to 15 chapters, so you can skip around if you need to. Basically every good thing about DVD is in this set. The picture quality is usually flawless on my Sony DVD player. There are a few single shots that do not have good quality, but they are few.

The episodes themselves are all great. This is the beginning of a great series. I love everything about this boxed set of DVDs. My favorite episdoes on here have got to be Deepthroat, Ice, Gender Bender, Beyond the Sea, Young at Heart, Darkness Falls, and E.B.E. I still have one disc left to watch, but it will definatley be as good as all the others.

So, If you are having any doubts about this product, put them aside. If you really like the X files, this is something that you should have. The money really is worth it.

Summary: An excellent DVD box!

Summary: A Must Have
Review: TXF and TXF fans are perfect for the DVD format. The ability to watch the ep's in order, and with perfect visual clarity is a HUGE treat. Everyone knows that philes are obsessed with the minutia of the show and never is it more accessible than in this format. You can actually freeze the frame and read the newspaper article Scully is reading on the airplane in the Pilot ep. It is fabulous!! Besides the visual crispness, there are interesting other tidbits such as commercials from other countries and great CC commentary. I wish they would have included more deleted scenes and interviews with some of the writers. Also, I have a Mac and cannot play the game, would LOVE it if they would supply a Mac version. This little gem is a great great buy.

Summary: If you X-Files Fan, prepare DVD Player.
Review: If you think you are a X--Files Fan, you should prepare DVD player first. and buy this. DVD Image and Audio Quality is also incredible!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice Collection but unhappy with visual quality
Review: DVD suffers from over-compression. Back ground images appear frozen at times causing a "blurring effect". Closeup facial images drift in and out of focus. I found it to be quite frustrating to watch. VSH tapes, while lower in resolution at least maintained a consistant viewing experience. I'm not likely to purchase season two, even though I loved the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Fun
Review: If you are an X-Philie then you should get it. You can see great stuff such as the season that shows how it all started pus other cool stuff. This is a must for your X-Files Collection.
