When a previously-released TV-on-DVD title simply gets repackaged, it's usually not really big news for us or for our readers. After all, the on-disc content is usually the same, even if the boxing might be a bit thinner...and even if the cover art of that box has changed a bit. But it's a bigger thing with bigger packages, especially when it's a bigger show. And shows from recent years don't get too much bigger than Joss Whedon's
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan (
How I Met Your Mother) and James Marsters (guesting in
Caprica and on
The Super Hero Squad Show).
As you know, all 7 seasons of the show were made available in Fox's 2006 DVD release of the
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set, in a box that is taller than it is wide. This fall the new packaging will be a rather wide, short box as shown below. The on-disc content is expected to be the same, as is the list price of $199.98 SRP. We're not certain if the physical bonus items previously packed into the box (such a a letter to fans from Joss Whedon) will still be included, however. We're told to expect it approximately around
October 12th, but that date (and the pricing) could be subject to change. Here's the new package art for
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Series:
