Desperate Housewives - Complete Series 1-8 - 49-DVD Boxset [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]

One of my favorite TV shows ever, in a wonderful boxed set!When I saw that "Desperate Housewives" was coming in a boxed set format, I immediately sold my 7 individual sets on Eb@y and pre-ordered this set. I am SO glad I did.The box is not wood, as many people on message boards have been asking. However, it is a very sturdy, thick, pressed cardboard (one of the sturdiest box sets I've seen) covered with a beautiful glossy finish. Inside you will find the individual season sets in the dreaded thin slip cases. I know many people complain about these, but really, I have never had any discs that came in this type of holder to be permanently damaged. I have had some surface scuffs in the past, but nothing that ever affected the playback. The individual seasons are the same as the previous releases, with all the same features, just in these slip cases. The artwork on these slip cases are not of the previous releases...these match each other...but the artwork on the discs all appear to be from the previous releases. I would also like to note that I have had no issues as far as glue being on the discs, discs being dislodged, or any of the issues that I have noticed in other reviews. Perhaps I lucked up with a good, clean set...?The bonus disc comes in a cute little apple shaped sleeve, and has the following features:The End of the Lane: Last Days on SetCurtain Call: The Desperate Housewives FamilyCherry Cam(eo)Desperately DeadMore From the Series (which consists of some new bonus features from Seasons 3 & 5)Finally, there is a note from Marc Cherry, printed on a thick paper stock (about 5x7 inches) that looks much like a wedding invitation, with embossed designs, where he is basically telling the origins of the show idea and thanks the fans.I love this set, and I am planning to revisit the women, men and all the rest of the residents of Wisteria Lane from beginning to end. And I'm sure I will revisit them again & again in the years to come.

I love Desperate Housewives! I 'grew up' with this show through it's original run, so I am overjoyed to see a Complete Series release. The set itself is truly adorable, with the box designed to look like a wooden chest, featuring gold detailing around the corners and a 'keyhole' to unlock the secrets of Wisteria Lane. The top of the box is embossed with the Adam and Eve design from the opening credits. Inside, the DVDs are housed in various books representing each of the seasons, four on each side. To me, they resemble photo albums and they sport quotes from the shows as well as stills from certain episodes. The bonus disc is housed in a separate sleeve designed to look like an apple. Indeed, apples are featured throughout the box set, one being showcased on the underside of the lid in rich, gleaming crimson and the season books each feature an apple in the stages of being eaten, until only the core remains on the back of the final season. All in all, I could not be happier with Buena Vista and their treatment of this iconic show! The set is rich in detail and most certainly appears like a collector's piece. For true Desperate Housewives fans like myself, it is a piece worthy of pride! Bravo!

If I receive 70% refund I will give you a horrible review. Your choice but I suggest you no longer post in the States.

First off this is a great set and at a great price. Yes it does have cardboard sleeves that everyone complains about, but these sets would be a lot more expensive if they weren't. Secondly, this is a REGION B REQUIRED. If you do not own a multi region Blu Ray player this will not work! It was say disc error. There is no way around this. Some Xbox Ones and PS4 allow this region, but depending on where you bought it.Final thoughts: Excellent set and price is great. Don't complain about the set when you didn't read the very large print about it being REGION B! Definitely worth the buy!!!!!
