The X-Files series

[unkie fester]

Is thete any chance we will be seeing the coomplete series on BD?

[Hooligan68]

I was just wondering the same thing.

This would be one of thoughs day one buys for me, maybe even package them with bolth x-files movies and just call it The X-Files: the complete Conspiracy

Have been waiting and waiting...

I doubt we ever see the X-Files series on Blu-ray. The Blu-ray market is just not big enough to support a show that would need extensive work to get the episodes up to HD quality.

To studios, the blu-ray market for tv shows is secondary to securing them for hd broadcast.

I hope they release them soon

Hopefully Star Trek TNG paves the way for a show such as The X-Files. I still have all the original thick dvd cased seasons!

[Barbossa]

Damn right. The X-Files would really benefit from a re-master and HD release.

X-Files along with a full 24 release would be brilliant.

The X-Files was shot in standard definition, I believe, so I'm not sure how much more detail could be added if it's not there from the outset.

I believe it was shot on film (16mm?) but had the special effects edited on video. Maybe they can do a Star Trek NG type restoration. The DVDS of X-Files are horrible quality

Correct, an HD conversion IS possible and would result in a far superior picture quality to the existing DVDs (I wouldn't say they are horrible, they are perfectly watchable but there is a huge amount of room for improvement).

Given the huge fan-base, I'm surprised that this hasn't yet been done. No doubt the inestimately huge and rich Fox just don't want to spend the money.

Im in!

Looks like it might happen in 2013:
