I'll wait until this is later re-released in normal case packaging now that my shelf space is at a premium.

I shouldn't have any space problems for the box - after all it has half the discs of the dvd boxset. Has the AR been confirmed yet?

Sounds like a promising set, I agree that the box/packaging is substandard. Much preferred the look of the other set previously posted (New York with a blue tint background). The image on the front of this looks awkward and unnatural.

Trouble is it's thin and long not the greatest of shapes to have on a shelf Since if you have it face on it takes up a lot of shelf space and easily could fall over. Side ways it would be too long and hang over the edge. And it would be too tall to stand on end. I prefer the 15th anniversary Box Set I have to that slim book design just because it's so much easier to shelve.


What I would like to know is why the front is lenticular?

Wut?


But this box reminds me of the ones for releases like 'I Am Legend'. Also by Warner...
Maybe they're creating a similar "Collector's Edition" and then putting all discs into a couple of DigiPaks (2 or 3) maybe with some goodies on top.

But the content seems great. It would be a HUGE upgrade for me from the very barebone DVD-set.
I'm sure it will be available for some time, so I'll be waiting for a price-drop if it's rather expensive.
I know it's a lot of content and probably a nice edition, but that's no excuse to blow a lot of cash at once if it's not a strictly limited edition.
I mean, look at the 'I Am Legend'-box, still available, or at least it still was recently.
Don't think I'll rush on this. XD

From the press release....

Quote:
The Friends: Complete Series Blu-ray box set is presented in highly collectible new packaging consisting of a lenticular box cover, a hard-cover book that holds 21 Blu-ray discs, plus a 32-page episode guide.
It's more Bond 50 than I Am Legend.

Aha, well I only quickly read through everything for now... :P So I thought maybe the image looked "lenticular" or something.
But I'm guessing they're just wanting to make it "fancy" or whatever, just like how they're also dressed up in the image.
I'm guessing that's also the reason why they're overlapping like that and not next to each other like someone mentioned.
Could be nice, I don't see the problem... Wouldn't be as plain as usual at least...


As for other series, as mentioned before, I'd really like to see the other ones in my signature next to 'Friends'.
I can't believe they halfassed the ones in orange. Only release like a single random season in one region/country and that's it. So silly...
Well, at least 'Friends' is coming, finally.
