I am a die-hard S&TC fan. I absolutely LOVE the show - and will definitely buy the 6th season disks - but COME ON!!! Haven't we (S&TC fans) shelled out enough dough for this show. Not only do we have to pay just to watch the show, but we buy the merchandise as well. The fifth season was ok - but full price for an 8 episode season? And now they're breaking the 6th season in 2 releases and charging full price for both? HBO - thy greed runneth over - WAY over!

I just want to state that I am one of the biggest sex and the city fans you'll meet, but I cannot believe that HBO is splitting season 6 up just so that they can charge us twice as much! I haven't even gotten myself to buy season 5 yet, and I'll probably hold off on buying this one as well. Yes, this is one of the best shows that has ever been on television, but considering the dvds have absolutely no special features and HBO is going to be showing every episode again in the upcoming months, I think I'll probably just be taping the episodes and saving myself $65.

I bought the first four seasons on DVD and was happy with them. Charging full price for the very abbreviated Season 5 was not acceptable. Splitting up Season 6 in two sets- not acceptable either. I will never buy either of these seasons, even if they later reduce the price. Someone in HBO's video marketing group should be spoken to. This is grossly insulting to fans.

I was a little shocked to see people saying to the complainers of the price to be quiet. One said why should we be surprised to pay $50 for part of Season 6 when we paid full price for 8 episodes in Season 5. We should be surprised because we also paid full price for Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 and got more than twice as many episodes. Just because they scammed us with Season 5 does not mean it is now OK to scam us in Season 6. 22 episodes of one season may end up costing us $100. 23 episodes of CSI, which are one hour long each is only $64. I love Sex and the City and have every season. It is my favorite show, but It is wrong to charge us so much for part of a season when it could easily be sold together. Just because it "is" does not mean it is right.
How will anyone know something is wrong if we tell them to shutup when someone expresses their dissatisfaction?

Okay,

I bought this for my wife as a gift (like the other Sex in the City dvd sets). We haven't got HBO and so it's a bit of an exciting day when I bring the latest season home. Needless to say, I was pleased when the box from Amazon arrived.

What a letdown to find that this dvd set, priced like the others, is only half of the final season. HBO should really be ashamed at its ridiculous wringing of its customers for extra dollars. HBO dvd division, if you're reading this by chance, please know that YOU SUCK.

Thanks for doing us wrong at the very end.

So are you going to put the rest of the season on the Season Six Part Two disc? Or will there be a Season Six Part Three coming out later? Part Four? Why don't I just send you my bank account number and you can draft it once a month?

Punks.

I won't buy season 5 until it drops in price, and I won't buy part 1 of season 6 either. I am a very loyal fan but I can't justify spending that much money on partial additions to the collection. The pricing on season 5 really burned me. I can be patient; after all, I have HBO On Demand for my cable service, and the reruns are starting on TBS soon...
Sorry HBO. I already pay enough to get your channels. I have adequately supported your profit line this year, and this is the thanks I get?

I'd put off buying season 5 because of the astronomical price (considering how many episodes you actually get). Now they expect you to pay the same price for half of season six!? I love the show, but they released all the other seasons in their entirety. HBO, you're way too money hungry for me. I'm already paying to subscribe...I can't afford to piss my money into the wind on half a season! Disgraceful.

The show was amazing. Loved it, loved the characters, the stories. HBO however is plain and simple greedy with the pricing of the dvd sets for seasons 5 and the split season 6 sets. It is a slap in the face to fans that want to buy them. I bought seasons 1-4 and love them. They are worth the price even though you get 0 extras. No interviews at all, no special dvd behind the scenes nada. There is NO reason to split season 6 up in 2 except for them to make much more money. Greedy and shameful.

I begrudginly coughed up FULL PRICE for Season 5, and now they're BREAKING SEASON 6 INTO TWO PARTS?

I feel like this is joke. How can they treat loyal fans like this? I'm happy to buy the series on DVD, but this is a blatant attempt to take advantage of your faithful and true fans. How obnoxious.

I bought seasons 1-4 but have not shelled out the ridiculous amount they are trying to sell season 5 for~ 8 measly episodes (and the most boring of all six seasons, imo). Now season 6 is coming out, actually HALF the season, at FULL price? HBO sucks! I have all the episodes on tape and will just pick up the dvd later on Ebay once the prices fall. I totally agree with every angry viewer here!! It's companies like HBO that encourage viewers to participate in piracy!!
