DVD releases

CBS DVD (distributed by Paramount) has released the first nine seasons on DVD in Regions 1, 2 & 4. The final season will be released on August 30, 2010 in Region 2, September 16, 2010 in Region 4 and on November 2, 2010 in Region 1. Due to music licensing issues, most of the original music has been replaced on these DVD releases.[1] Deleted songs include "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover", "Losing My Religion", and "In The Mood". Starting with Season 2, some episodes are edited from their original broadcast versions.

For reasons that were never made clear, the first three season releases used promotional pictures from their succeeding seasons instead of the actual promotional pictures that were taken while the seasons aired. Due to the group pictures from the fourth season being used on the third season DVD and the absence of Shannen Doherty in later seasons, a collage of still photos was used on the fourth season. Jamie Walters was not featured on the covers of any of the seasons that he regularly appeared in (although he did appear in some of the DVD menu still shots for seasons 5 and 6), and Kathleen Robertson was only featured on the cover of the seventh season, even though she had been a regular since season 6, recurring in the entirety of season 5, and made her first appearance towards the end of season 4 (her photo was, however, used in one of the inner cases for the season 6 release).

Hilary Swank who was cast as a main star in the eighth season is featured on the cover of the DVD, even though she left halfway through her only season on the show, while Vincent Young, who joined the cast that same year, is not on the cover at all, or on the cover of the ninth season (he is, however, featured on the tenth season cover), but Lindsay Price, Vanessa Marcil and Luke Perry were all featured on the cover, as were Jason Priestley and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen who both departed the series after a few episodes. Daniel Cosgrove was not featured on the Season 9 cover either even though he was a regular also (He is featured on the season 10 cover).

For seasons 1-8, the DVDs were packaged in individual slim plastic cases which were then housed in a large outer cardboard box. Beginning with season 9, the discs were fitted into a singular standard-sized DVD case. Initial copies came with an outer cardboard slipcase.

The ninety minute pilot episode was released separately on June 15, 2004. a 71-Disc Complete Series Collection is to be released on November 2, 2010 in the U.S.
