[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Checking Amazon for similar genre shows: Star Trek: TNG (DVD) £16 per 26 episode season, £76 for complete set Battlestar Galactica (new series, DVD) £24 for season 1 (13 episodes), £10 for season 2 or 3 (20 episodes) Quantum Leap (DVD) roughly £10 per 22 episode season Red Dwarf (DVD) roughly £6 per 6 episode season. TNG is a bit more expensive but I wouldn't call it "outrageous". The Quantum Leap DVDs have no extras and extensive music replacement. BSG has slightly less episodes for a third off the price, but I don't think the difference is enought to make TNG seem hugely overpriced. The blu rays are a different proposition, because there isn't anything to compare them with. Modern TV shows are shot in HD for blu ray release. I can't think of any other TV shows that have required the amount of work TNG has received in order to "HD-ize" it, and bear in mind they will receive less money than they would if it was a new TV show because they're still selling a 20 year old 4:3 show. A better comparison might be [i]Enterprise[/i], which WAS a modern HD show. Amazon are showing those seasons for £40 a pop, which is slightly less than TNG, but again not significantly cheaper. Are the blu-rays expensive? Probably. OTOH, a film usually costs at least £13 on blu-ray, so £40 for a 24 episode season with lots of good quality extras seems great value for money. At the end of the day as MinutiaeMan they are priced at what they think people will pay for them. I've bought them, even thought they're showing on satellite TV now. But then, I'm also the guy who's about to spend over £100 on a two-foot tall Transformer (with articulated eyes!), so I'm not the best judge of value. [/QB][/QUOTE]
