La notizia risale al 2 aprile, quindi apparentemente non è uno scherzo. Sembra che la FOX abbia annunciato l'uscita di un cofanetto di dvd dal nome The X-Files - Revelations per il primo Luglio.
Questo cofanetto dovrebbe contenere 2 dischi con 8 episodi della serie, scelti tra quelli incentrati sulla relazione tra Mulder e Scully. Ancora non si hanno notizie certe, ma questi dvd potrebbero contenere degli extra ed addirittura dei materiali inediti.

La notizia in sè sarebbe fantastica, il tempismo della FOX è ottimo non c'è che dire (il cofanetto uscirebbe circa un mese prima dell'uscita del film!).
Si tratterebbe dell'ennesimo cofanetto che molti sarebbero disposti a comprare, ovviamente per il materiale inedito, ma la domanda sorge spontanea, sarà così solo per gli x-philes degli Stati Uniti? Questa operazione ricalcherà quella dei cofanetti della Mitologia usciti qualche tempo fa solo negli USA?

I nostri cofanetti sono sempre stati più poveri di contenuti. Già i primi dvd "cartonati" contenevano meno materiale rispetto alla versione americana, e non mi riferisco solo alla mancanza dei sottotitoli.
Il problema delle versioni differenti di cofanetti di dvd non riguarda solo X-Files, ma tante serie TV.
Mi piacerebbe che qualcuno, prima o poi, spiegasse il motivo di tutte queste differenze, perché noi fan proprio non riusciamo a capire.

Non voglio neanche pensare che questi cofanetti potrebbero contenere scene inedite tra Mulder e Scully rimaste sul pavimento della sala montaggio (tagliate dalla versione finale degli episodi)... e questi dvd fossero destinati al solo mercato americano... FOX (Mulder) ti prego, occupati tu della FOX!

We investigated this release, though, and found out a few things
Posted by David Lambert

This morning Fox revealed an updated schedule to retailers, showing a July 1st street date for a DVD release called The X-Files - Revelations. Other than the title, date and a cost of $22.98 SRP in the USA (CA$25.98 SRP in Canada), no other information was available. Is this a mystery? An "x-file" to be solved?

We've done a bit of digging, in true X-Files fashion, and found out that this will be a 2-disc release featuring 8 episodes. While we don't have a list of the episode titles yet, the information we have is that this release might perhaps be themed around Mulder and Scully's relationship as it developed throughout the run of the program. There WILL be bonus material on this package, but we're not certain what it is yet, or if it even is new material (as opposed to extras previously seen on the season set releases, OR on the four previous releases themed around the "mythology arc" episodes).

Obviously this package is meant to tie in with the July 25th box office debut of the as-yet-untitled second X-Files film (rumor has it that creator Chris Carter and the studio people at Fox are tussling over what they each think the movie's title ought to be). Due to the tie-in, it wouldn't surprise us if this new DVD release comes with some "movie cash" good towards a free or cheap ticket for the new theatrical film. Box art isn't available yet, but stay tuned and we'll update you with that, AND with all the other details about this mysterious set, just as soon as we get them! Remember, the truth is out there.

Yesterday we revealed (pun intended) that Fox is planning a July 1st release of The X-Files - Revelations. We had learned that this would be a 2-DVD set containing 8 episodes and some extras, but we didn't have the details on what those contents would be. Now our retailer contacts have provided us with an update, which their received from Fox this morning:

• Episodes:
  • Disc 1:
    • Pilot (Season 1)
    • Beyond the Sea (Season 1)
    • The Host (Season 2)
    • Clyde Bruckmans Final Repose (Season 3)
  • Disc 2:
    • Memento Mori (Season 4)
    • Post-Modern Prometheus (Season 5)
    • Bad Blood (Season 5)
    • Milagro (Season 6)
• Extras:
  • Introductions on every episode by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz
  • X-Files Movie Teaser Trailer
  • WonderCon Talent Panel

Total running time is 352 minutes, and - as we said yesterday - the cost will be $22.98 SRP in the USA and CA$25.98 SRP in Canada. We theorized yesterday that the "theme" of this release might be the development of Mulder and Scully's relationship, but as a true-blue fan of the series, these aren't the episodes *I* would pick to demonstrate that theme. We also theorized that there would be "movie cash" included with this release, to get a free or cheap ticket into this summer's new theatrical X-Files film. That will indeed be on there, and it will also be attached for a while to all other DVD sets of The X-Files that have previously been released.

We're still waiting on package art, but stay tuned and we'll let you know when we get it! While you're waiting, you can pre-order this from DVDEmpire for $19.44 as of right now.
