Sex and the City

DVD Releases

All six seasons of "Sex and the City" have been released commercially on DVD. They have been released officially on Region 1 (USA, Canada) and Region 2 (UK, Europe) formats, but illegal bootleg editions have also surfaced for Region 3 (Korea, Thailand) aswell as Region 0 (Universal) and can even be found on eBay. In addition to their region encoding, releases vary depending on which region they were released in. Region 2 DVD's of "Sex and the City" have been criticised by some fans for having little or no special features, but Region 1 editions have included Director Commentary, Cast Interviews and more.

In addition to standard single season DVD Boxsets of the show, Limited Edition Collectors Editions have also been released that include all 6 seasons in one complete set. Even these vary between Region 1 and 2. While the United Kingdom and Europe got a complete set that came with special "Shoebox" packaging (A reference to Sarah Jessica Parker's characters love for shoes in the show), the USA and Canada version came packaged in a more traditional fold-out suede case and with an additional Bonus DVD including many Special Features.

Aswell as missing out on some Special Features, many fans in the UK and Europe had trouble with the Region 2 edition of the Season 1 DVD. Unfortunately, the show was not converted into aPAL video signal, and remained in it's original American NTSC format. This caused some compatibility problems with some European television sets and DVD Players. Thankfully, the Season 1 boxset is the only one to suffer from this problem, and all subsequent Region 2 DVD releases of the programme were appropriately transferred to PAL Video. In the UK and Europe, "Sex and the City" boxsets were released through Paramount - who own certain rights to the programme's broadcast aswell. American and Canadian DVD's were released through the programme's original broadcasters, HBO.
