Review by C. Tong for Sex and the City: The Complete Series (Collector’s Giftset)

Hi all SATC fans! Like the the first two reviewers, I wondered what the difference between this collection, currently on sale for $109.99, and the “Collector’s Edition” on sale for $196.99. But since all I really wanted was to have all the episodes on DVD I went ahead and ordered the cheaper set. When I received it today, I read the back and toward the end of the top paragraph it said:
“Celebrate the show that explores the day-to-day – and night-to-night, world of single women in this, the definitive collector’s edition.
With that read, I wanted to see if I really got the “Collector’s Edition” so I called my girlfriend who bought her “Collector’s Edition” at the regular price of $300 back a few years ago to compare the difference. Good news! Sounds like they’re the exact same thing! What I received in my $109.99 set is a pink velvet spiral binder with various color pictures of the ladies and scenes from the show and short summaries of each episode. The DVDs are nicely tucked away, by seasons, in pockets of thicker pages after the summaries. The pink velvet spiral binder comes in a plastic sleeve for protection from scratches, etc. There’s no way, however, to see if this DVD set was made in 2007. Everywhere I looked said 2005. Oh well, I’ll be happy if all the DVDs work!
If you want to peek at what this set looks like I suggest clicking on the “Collector’s Edition” for $196.99 and looking at Picture 4 of 9. It’s the picture with the binder (closed and open) with the DVDs nicely scattered in front of it. That is exactly what I received today.
Happy shopping and I hope this helps!

I ordered the 2007 set from Amazon last week, and despite the fact that the package says 2005 on the back, it actually is the newer one that was released on December 18, 2007. You have to look at the UPC…that’s the only discernable difference between them (even the sets currently selling in stores with the free movie ticket say “2005 Home Box Office” in the fine print on the back, but they have the 2008 UPC..i checked at Target the other day!). There are three different releases floating around: 2005, 2007, and the 2008 release that comes with the free movie ticket. Amazon is not even selling the 2008 version at this time so I doubt anyone will be getting the free movie ticket. However, those of you who are disappointed that you believe you received the 2005 set from Amazon, check the UPC on the back to see which one you really have:
2008 # UPC 883929018062
2007 # UPC 026359445828
2005 # UPC 026359866128
Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion.

This is the 2005 edition. However it has all 94 episodes and the Bonus Disc that includes: En-Sex-Lopedia, Sex Essentials, Location Location Location, You can quote me on it, and The Quest list.
I think it is a good deal for the price.

NOTE: This product only gets 1 star because of it’s design flaw, not because of the series itself.
Warning to all buyers, the jackets that the DVD’s are placed in will scratch the DVD. You have to be extra careful when you’re removing and replacing the DVD’s into the jackets. I have to admit, the packaging is enticing and being a big fan of the show I HAD TO HAVE IT. But i’m so disappointed in the product itself. Bummer

I love the series, it’s worth buying. But this series from Amazon is defective. I returned my first one due to the freezing up on discs, particulary Season 3. I received my second one and it has the exact same problem!
