[QUOTE]Originally posted by o2: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] [...] I'd buy it right away (well, I'd wait for it to be on sale, but still). [/qb][/QUOTE]This is why I think that we won't see DS9 in HD any time soon. Please don't get me wrong: It is totally ok to wait for a drop in the price. On the other side, CBS will not invest money in a project where the return-of-investment takes to long or is unsure in the first place. We have the situation, where both project costs and number of customers are pretty clear (for the first you can compare with the costs for TNG remastering, for the second you can apply the rule of three with 1) Number of buyers for TNG DVD, 2) number of buyers for TNG bluray and the 3) nubmer of buyers for the DS9 DVD to estimate the number of buyers for the DS bluray). If the number of DS9 bluray-buyers is smaller then the number of TNG bluray-buyers (assumption 1) and the costs for production are more of less the same (assumption 2), then you have to increase the product price in order to get to the Return of Investment. What is a possible solution for CBS: 1) Reduce the costs of the product, which could result in a minor product quality. 2) Wait until technology creates the same level of quality for less money. 3) Find other ways for covering the production costs, like selling the streaming rights to Netflix, Apple or Amazon. What is a possible solution for the fan base: 1) Signal CBS that we are willing to pay a fair price for a product we desire. [/QB][/QUOTE]
