I'm pretty sure it will be release in individual seasons and re-release the complete set with and after the new mini series.
I'm not sold on the packaging on this set so I'm hoping that the next set will have a better packaging.No doubt, but even so this set comes with space for the new series, so wether you go for this or the individuals or the next set you wont miss out

I think the complete dvd set has way better artwork than this one.
I have the complete dvd set and I hope the next release will be remastered in 4KI have the individual sets on dvd and i actually prefer the dvd sets artwork and the fact you get a booklet with each season.
But after watching through the HD seasons on netflix the video quality is just outstanding and convinced me to upgrade to this set.

Well Fox just love that cause that's one more selling point to cash in. This version, then the next set with the new mini series, then the individual releases probably with slipcases or digipaks, then the 4K version even though it's not really in 4K just like most other 4K releases.http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/7468/remastering-the-files-hd-jim-hardy-ceo-illuminate/index.html
That wont happen for a good long while. The guys who remastered it at Illuminate studios scanned the original negatives of the series at 1920x1080. They would have done it in 4K if fox asked them but as they said in the article i linked it would have been very complicated and a long process.
Its taken years to get a 1080p set, i wouldnt hold your breath for 4K anytime soon.
How do they come packaged?Received my replacement Season 8 discs from Fox this morning and can confirm the black crush issue is gone. Happy days....
Note: I emailed them on boxing day so this is probably why I have received them the same time as some of the US customers have been reporting. As far as I can see in comparison to the original discs these are new prints. Shadow detail is back and the very dark picture, black crush is gone....

@thewoe @BluSteel2012
I emailed them at [email protected] and they organised the replacement discs for me. I was not told to email Fox UK. But I did send in my request (with full details) on the 26th Dec, and they replied on the 27th telling me my discs would be sent out on the 24th Jan. So I think that is why..
The discs came in there own individual paper envelopes inside a bubble mailer and then inside a large outer plastic bag. Also there are no UK ratings logos on the new discs...
Thanks for the unboxing video @thewoe; the set looks good. However, there appears to be a mystery intruder (1:50 - 1:54) or perhaps you have a cat ?
Did you email [email protected] then get told to email [email protected] for UK querys?
I emailed them and got told to email [email protected] And i have a few times but recieved no reply. Did you get a reply or did they just turn up?
I did a unboxing video.
Nice to see we got a hard box the set comes in, the poor old USA got a crappy floppy box.
