Great Series, TERRIBLE PACKAGING WILL DESTROY DISKS - WON'T BUY TILL THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM
I am a big fan of this series - it rates 10 stars!
I am NOT a fan of the packaging. It is COMPLETELY UNNACEPTABLE.
Even though I am DESPERATE to have this series, I will NEVER buy this box set.
I have 3 series on DVD. Buffy, Angel and MASH. Buffy and Angel have fantastic box sets, with decent packaging that protects the disks. Both arrived in perfect conditon.
I also purchased MASH which is UNFORTUNATELY packaged in slide in sleeves like SG 1. The first thing I did was to buy a 50 pack of DVD sleeves, and remove the disks from the package. Even pre-use the disks had lots of tiny scratches, but fortunately they played. NO DISK SHOULD BE PACKAGED THIS WAY. For hundreds of dollars, you'd think they could put together a package that wasn't going to DESTROY the disks.
Well, guess what, I am not playing.
Manufacturers get a clue: take a look at the Buffy and Angel sets, and come up with something like that. Even after a couple of years of non stop play, my Buffy disks are in perfect condition.
Slide in sleeves destroy disks. DO NOT WANT.
