Summary: An unbelievable boxed set for an incredible series
Review: I recieved my DVD boxed set today and it certainly did not disappoint . This collection is a must have for any fan of the series. After watching some of my favortie science fiction series get canceled or fade away I thought I would never find another program that was worth watching. The X-Files gave me hope again as well as an incredible and compelling series to watch. My only hope now is that they put the rest of the complete seasons on DVD.

Summary: A Must Have For Any X-Files Fan
Review: I just got my X-Files Season One: Gift Pack last night and watched the first two episodes. The picture and sound in these episodes is absolutely outstanding. This is the way the X-Files were meant to be watched. I just hope they put all the seasons on DVD. Way to go Fox!

Summary: Worth the money!
Review: What a great value this is. You get all 24 episodes from the first season. I got mine yesterday and was really impressed with the layout and style of the case. Having the 7th disc with the extra stuff is great and most of the extra stuff is also included on the disc that contains that episode. This box set is a great addition to my dvd collection and I would recommend it to any one interested in the series.

Summary: GREAT SET!
Review: This has to be the best deal ever in the history of DVD! A whole season at once (24 episodes) in one purchase! As mentioned in another review, it would be great if other series like Star Trek would do the same thing. I am interested in buying the movies and multiple packaging is a waste of space and resources. The packaging on this set is attractive and space saving considering there is 7 DVD discs within. Compare that size to "A Nightmare On Elm Street" box set block which takes up three times the space!

Summary: A GREAT LOOKING SET........BUT IS THIS REALLY DVD?
Review: First of all, let me praise Chris Carter for making a TV series affordable to own. In fact, owning this series on DVD is far less expensive than owning it on VHS, which makes you wonder why videotapes still cost so much. Having said that, let me also say that fans of a particular TV series usually want all the episodes since character and plot continuity are the two biggest reasons we watched these shows in the first place. The packaging of this set is first-rate. However, having said that, I must also include one big complaint. The video transfer on this set is a big disappointment. I can clearly remember when I purchased my DVD player in late 1998 and being blown away by the pristine detail of the resolution that DVD produces. This set however, looks barely better than a good VHS cassette. The picture is dark, which coincidentally, was the case everytime I watch the show on television. The usual incredibly high resolution that DVD should provide is not here. In fact, detail of images, especially people's faces is a huge disappointment. Despite all my complaints about the way the original Star Trek series is being released on DVD, as in two episodes at a time, I invite anyone to compare the video quality of those shows from the 1960's to these X-Files episodes. There is no comparison. Star Trek looks brand new and almost jumps off the screen. I would appreciate anyone who reads this review to email me and share their opinion on this. All in all, an impressive set in its structure and pricing, but when it comes to the most important factor, the picture, it leaves much to be desired.

Summary: THE SHOW THAT CHANGED TELEVISION
Review: Without X-Files there would be no Buffy. This show gave us everything we wanted and more. Season one is the ultimate purchess, so you can watch them all over and over without wearing them out, also you can go straight to your favorate episodes without fast forwarding entire episodes. The only snag is it comes in a flimsy cardboard cover that could easly get damaged when taking the dvds out and putting them back in again. And there are only 2 deleted scenes, and a dodgy special effects snippit that looks like it was just thrown in as a second thought. Other than that it's a welcome edition to the DVD world, we should hope that Star Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY, all come out in box sets, as well as The Simpsons, Buffy, Angel, the classic and the updated Twilight Zone, (IN THEIR ORIGINAL EPISODE LINE UP, AND NOT THE HALF ASSED ATTEMPT THAT THEY'VE RELEASED NOW, AND IS THE REASON I REFUSE THEM ON DVD). Buy the X-Files Box Set, and lets hope they'll release all the rest of the six seasons by the end of the year. (okay so it may put a strain on your pocket, but hey it's the X-files! )

Summary: A must-have for any X-Phile
Review: Having grown up without a TV (blame my parents for that), I did miss the beginning of the X-Files and finally only got hooked up in the middle of the fourth season. So the question was, how to see th earlier episodes. Some were re-broadcasted, but incompletely and especially the conspiracy timeline wasnt very clear to me. Thats when I found out that Fox was already publishing in Europe all the episodes completely in boxed video sets. That was a great way to catch up with the series again. Still, having the the episodes on DVD as well is a wonderful idea, just think about the better quality of sound and image... Needless to say that I already preordered the episodes of the first season. I hope that Fox will also publish the other episodes on DVD as well.

Summary: The Truth Really Is Out There!
Review: This has got to be one of the highlights of DVD ever since its introduction. To think that now one can own the entire first season plus see all the extras that come with the territory. True this volume of work will has not yet been released,still you can base your opinion solely on the merit of the episodes it contains. If you do not know the story of the X-Files than you must have been in a coma for the past seven years. The whole saga revolves around FBI agents Fox Mulder(David Duchovney) and Dana Scully(Gillian Anderson), who investigate strange and paranormal happenings. The chance that this DVD collection gives you is to see how it all began and to see how the characters where established. It is in this season that we are introduced to Deep Throat, who is a anonymous informant who seems to to help Mulder and yet is always looking out for himself. In the episode "Tooms" we first meet Walter Skinner. He is assigned to keep an eye on both the agents by those above him yet he is soon embroiled in their conspiracies. Finally there is the ever present Cigarrete Smoking Man whom seems to be involved in everything and yet has truly unlimited power and influence. Another thing that one benfits form this collection is that there are the extras like cast and crew interviews, deleted scenes that never made it to the final print, and interviews with Chris Carter on how where it all came from. Every X-Files fan should have this volume of work in their collection. I just hope that the other seasons will soon be released!
