There are additional features in this the "thicker sets". dvd features for season one not in the slim include:
Interviews with Chris Carter about 12 of his favorite episodes: Pilot, Deep Throat, Squeeze, Conduit, Ice, Fallen Angel, Eve, Beyond The Sea, E.B.E, Darkness Falls, Tooms and The Erlenmeyer Flask

but if you never heck out extras go with the slim versions.(some stores have marked down the thick versions to the same price as the slim)

MISREPRESENTED LISTING, August 26, 2007
This review is from: The X-Files - Seasons 1 - 9 (DVD)
This Amazon-exclusive bundle contains all 9 seasons in the original, collectible boxed set format. This is untrue. This briefcase edition does not contain the thick first release box sets. What it does contain is a booklet with vinyl pages that hold all the discs. Amazon`s listing pictures the boxed sets which is very misleading. If you want the first released thick boxed sets don`t buy this item. Also this item is not exclusively available through Amazon. It has been released outside of the U.S. and contains foreign language not English on the packaging. I hope this posting prevents other buyers from such frustration of receiving something different than what is described.

Not a rip-off, if..., August 2, 2007
This review is from: The X-Files - Seasons 1 - 9 (DVD)
...you care about having the bonus features that are on these sets, to respond to S William Shaw's comment. The slim sets do not come with bonus features (or at least do not have nearly as many bonus features as these sets do).
So, if you care enough about the X-Files to be interested in Behind-the-Scenes stuff and other features, this is the set you want to buy, even though they're more expensive. However, if you just want the episodes, of course you should by the slim sets. For me, I want the features as well, which is why I own these (of course, I did buy them before the slim sets came out).
