Just a reminder, the final season of “The X-Files” is
out on DVD today, and it’s bringing a price drop on
all other seasons along with it. The sets still cost
more than your average TV on DVD product, but they’re
considerably cheaper than they were yesterday. (The
initial high price had two main reasons; it was the
first show to be released in full season packages in
a time when movies were still about $30, so they had
a higher price in that market, and because they’re
released in region 1 before region 2, unlike many
shows, so they couldn’t use overseas markets to
recover the DVD authoring costs. The prices stuck
around as long as fans were willing to pay that
much.)
