Fox has been re-releasing all of it's older series in the slim-cases for lower prices. They've already done Buffy and X-Files.

Why buy "slimmer" versions of things you already have, even if it's at a lower price? I can't tell you how frustrating it is to look on Ebay at the shiny limited edition sets they have in other countries while over here (the country in which the show was made), we get diddly. We have Buffy, we have our Big Damn Series, now it's time to show Angel the respect it deserves.
Surely if you already have the sets then buying a 'shiny limited edition' complete box set would be pretty much the same as buying slim reissues?
Not that I don't think the US should get a complete series box, but if you've already got the dvds then you're basically paying for a box to put them in, given that the Angel R2 complete set has no bonus disc like the Buffy one.

I just finished the Buffy Chosen Collection and must buy Angel! I'll probably go for the slim reissues. Who wants to wait???

Very true, I hadn't thought of that. On the other hand, purchasing the Chosen Collection (which runs about $198.00 on amazon.com) as a set ends up being somewhat cheaper than buying each season individually. In theory, it would be the same concept for the Angel. Though I'm not sure how this will work out with the new slimmer sets.
And no bonus disc? What sense does that make?

In the UK at least, I've seen several sites where it's cheaper to buy the 5 individual sets than buy the complete box.

Actually I'm not a fan of including bonus discs with these big box sets, mainly because it means there are new features now unavailable to those who had already shelled out for the original DVDs.

I have about given up on an "Angel" complete box set in the U.S. I've only seen one store that has the slim sets (Fry's). I see that Amazon is selling the regular 5-season DVD set for $150.
Hmmmmm.....
