    Atlantis Season 1 Region 2

    Did anybody else buy this and find themselves woefully dissapointed with the packaging?

      At least it is better than just sticking the 5 seperate DVD cases in a cardboard box as they take up way too much space on the shelf.

        I actually like the series 7 and 8 box designs for Sg1. It doesnt matter to me how much space they take up when they've got those cool designs on them. It bothers me more that there's a stupid volume numberic system that has number 1 being "The Best of Season 1" It also bothers me that all the boxsets side by side are as follows: American Version - Multicoloured Spines x 5 - Two Spine Pictures. The inconsistency bugs me.

        But yes. Atlantis boxset... ICK. WHY OH WHY can't we get a decent M-Lock boxset? The ones used for the new X Files releases and Firefly. They're very cheap and are arguable better quality, especially when they have the X Files style cardboard box. The hologram is also shoddy as well.


        Overall? Screw slimline. BRING US M-LOCK!

          But they were so much better, they were sturdy, secure, convenient and the artwork on the individual volume boxes was brilliant.
          Now we have this inconvenient piece of crap that is falling apart a little more every time I use it.
          I bet they're doing this to make us buy the individual volumes.
          Even by re-releasing the Sg-1 sets.
          *******s.

            I agree. I love the Xfiles/Firefly/Alien/Predator/Millenium boxsets like that.

                  Nada. S9 will be simple card box containing the individual S9 volumes. It's cheaper methinks.

                    So why the hell didn't they do that with Atlantis!??!

                    Does anyone know if the region 1 Atlantis dvds were like this or if they had the individual volumes?

                      Mmm, I've been collecting Atlantis S2 on volume DVDs, frankly, I'd rather have a boxset that was just those five volumes together than the S1 version.

                        Ditto.
                        I'm currently looking into getting the individual volumes for s1.

                          The R1 Atlantis set is three slimline dvd cases in a cardboard box just like the re-released R1 SG-1 DVD's and personally I prefer them as shelf space is a premium and cutting the size of the boxsets in half is a welcome move.

                            You won't be saying that after you drop you slimline box and it breaks into pieces.
