At last, better cover art

Sex and the City - The Complete Series

My brother and sister-in-law got me hooked on Sex and the City via Netflix (alas, I have no HBO of my own). It's a great series. So good I've considered acquiring DVD's for my permanent collection.

So I head on over to Amazon to see what the prices are like. Upon landing at the above page, I'm chided not to buy it, because, you see, HBO is going to release a premium edition. What makes the premium edition so shagadelic? Quoth a reviewer:

According to the New York Daily News:

Rhea said HBO is planning a "super-premium" set of "Sex and the City" to hit stores before Christmas.

"I think there is absolutely a super-premium collector's market," she said about "Sex and the City."

Though all seasons have been released in separate installments, Rhea said the complete collection, including additional content and DVD extras not available on the originals, is being developed with "an eye for the collector," including new disc art and lavish packaging.

"It'll be kind of showpiece that you might want to own and preserve, and not use as your everyday set," Rhea said. "I guess it would be kind of like the good china. Or the good shoes."

So you can have your DVD set that you use and the special one for show. The difference, friends, is that the packaging is nicer. I'm sure the superior DVD art makes the jokes much funnier.
