The X-Files - Series 8 - Complete (M-Lock Packaging) (DVD)

Advantages: 24 Episodes, Fantastic Stories, Good Price, Special Features, 7 Discs
Disadvantages: DVD Booklet - Uses Spoiler Pictures & Not Enough Information

...Darkness Falls Tooms Born Again Roland The Erlenmeyer Flash 24 Episodes you say? Yes 24 episodes on 6 discs plus a bonus special features disc but more on that later.

Advantages: great value, disc devoted to extras, quality show
Disadvantages: not the best series of the show, packaging annoying for some

Advantages: Best box set i own
Disadvantages: only 7 seasons made
