Apologies for the 4 stars.
I'm pretty certain if you're looking to buy this, you're not a new-comer to the series, so I won't break it down for you - so many reviews on each season for pick from, I won't bore you. Course if you are a new-comer... sorry. Simply reason for this review, is to tell you exactly what you're getting from this instead of the individual boxsets. Firstly, space-saver. Sounds stupid, maybe, but for those that are racing up 100s or 1000s of DVDs, it's a valid point, (yeah, that would be me, of course) and it is a growing problem. Secondly, you get extras that weren't on the originals, though flipside, if you have the first edition of Season One, (the 'format problem' one in the red case), you miss out on the extras on this, if you're swapping/up-grading). The extras aren't amazing here and I don't think you're missing too much, even a huge fan. But, if you haven't any SATC extras now, then the extras are nice... or if you really, really like extras - that's all the bases covered on that point... I think. Now thirdly and this is important, you get the pretty, pretty box. And yes... it is very pretty. Velvet (fake, but go with me) detailing on the front and a nice 'book' design - a homage to Carrie, obviously. When you open the cover - again it's pretty - it is [oh dear god] so irritating surfing through six seasons, because they couldn't split the set, at all. But at this price that's what you get really.

Basically, I got this to replace my old looking - literally and on screen - years old, over watched (ok, not possible, but for the DVDs sake) original releases. Here I get some new ok extras and... well... a very pretty box. I paid £50, right now it's £56, but either way, if I had the room, I'd probably have got the re-releases of the single seasons, for ease.

But it is a very pretty box... hmm... I wonder if I'm making my point about the box...

4 Stars, cos the 6 seasons in 1 thing...? Bugs me. Plus, why no more extras...? Why? Why? Excuses...? Reasons...? Oh, right... they were being cheap... shocker.

5 Stars for the Series and every episode in it... plus, you know, the box...

I couldn't help but wonder how did i live without the SATC boxset?!

This is an essential buy for any SATC fan or anyone who loves a good girls night in!
This is such a bargain price! The best series ever on TV! So sad its at an end :( but they will live on!
Truly brilliant!

Fantastic!
Though the box is extremely irritating - it takes forever to get a DVD out due to the bizarre packaging - the contents are certainly worth the wait.
Being under the impression that I'd actually seen all of the episodes, I have been joyously surprised to discover a few that I've never seen! Yey!
I think this box set is a must for SATC fans and has certainly been making me laugh out loud (again) as I sit through each marvellous episode with a large glass of wine.
Has there ever been a greater love story than Carrie and Big? And what about the taming of Miranda? The varied attempts at the Holy Grail (Marriage) for Charlotte? And the woman with the best one-liners ever - Samantha...C U Next Tuesday... I am LOVING it....
