Buffy fanatics have clamored for a comprehensive box set for a while now, but the final product (released on Tuesday) shouldn’t be much of an enticement to anyone other than fans who don’t already have the show. A whopping 40 DVD set encompassing 7 seasons, but only one disc is previously unavailable material, and the included booklet contains nothing more than an episode guide. It’s unconventional package might also deter retentive types who want all their DVD collections to line up, but I’ll give the makers recognition for making the box set carry such a small footprint, space wise. Ultimately, this is a collection for either the most die-hard fans, or fans who don’t already own the collection individually. At $169 (US) as the asking price at Amazon, that’s a a signifigantly cheaper way to get your Buffy on over purchasing each season on it’s own (which would come to about $210)
