They wanted to charge you 60 bucks for the Box of War starter? Shop elsewhere, dude! I *KNOW* You can get it cheaper somewhere else!
No, but seriously, boxes like that are getting popular. You buy the first volume at a slightly higher price, and it comes with a box or slipcase that the rest of the series fits in while it's being relieased. It's really nice for people like me who are impatient enough that they don't wanna wait for a box set, but still want the box set.
Of course, waiting for a complete box set is always cheaper per DVD in the long run... but I'm impatient!
Other shows that do that include Love Hina, His and Her Circumstances, and Hellsing (THe first volume comes with the first DVD, a box the rest of the series fits in, and a bag of fake medical blood! It's bad-ass and SOOOOO worth it for that bag of blood!
