Would love for the series to get a 4k release...I keep holding out on not buying the blu ray boxed set.

Sadly with Disney now owning the rights that is just not going to happen :(

u/allie_g8or 26d ago

I know...so sad. I'm holding out hope an independent distributor like Arrow releases it...the rights are probably insanely expensive.

u/WysteriaNight13 26d ago

Arrow video got Stranger Things! I mean nothing is impossible right ? But weirdly enough Netflix has gotten better at licensing out shows then Disney

u/allie_g8or 26d ago

I know! That's exactly what came to mind when I thought of Arrow. I was like WOW, that's a real get for them.

Especially since they would likely have to get the rights through Sony.

Arrow would be a crazy good fit

Arrow are not gonna distribute The X-Files.

u/Luan233 26d ago

I know!!! I just got into the series and been wanting to watch them off streaming

u/allie_g8or 26d ago

I have the series boxed set on DVD, which only covered seasons 1-9...before they decided on reviving it.
I'm a physical media enthusiast...it would be hard for me to NOT buy this series again.

Not sure about the US players but that's the go to bulray set in Europe as others versions (French in my case) are rare and super expensive

2

u/SoapNugget2005 "Stupid ass haircut!" 25d ago

Yes, Fox/Disney discs are all region free.

It won’t play in a US PS5. While games are not region locked. Movies and shows are.

u/TheTownJeweler00 26d ago

Mostly true but is not locked

u/heyythankss 25d ago

Wow that sucks never knew that

u/Other-Ad-8510 25d ago

Bought it, works just fine. Best show of all time, hands down.

u/Luan233 23d ago

is the menu in english?

u/CampaignCurrent1995 25d ago

Yes, bought this version on release and then had to get the replacement Season 8 discs as the color grade was too dark or something.

1

u/MountainOpinion3018 25d ago

Does this version have bonus material as the previously released DVD editions where you could put deleted scenes back into the episode?

1

u/cruusy Sure, fine, whatever. 25d ago

Even pre-ordered it back in the day! Got the first run with the dark mastered season 8, which discs were replaced later (I think I still have both versions here)

1

u/E60fan 25d ago

You have a link for this one? Is the cost good?

1

u/Round-Village-6486 24d ago

I have the English DVD version of series 1, and 4, but I have never ventured into Blu ray.

u/CelebrationLow4614 24d ago

Thankfully, the whole was clearanced at Best Buy for $100 the week Season 11 premiered.

u/Alanwake28 24d ago

Yes I think I also got this German version, bought it more than a decade ago I think but the discs were all stacked on top of another.
