I haven't had any luck finding any info about. Any word on upcoming DVD releases of Deep Space Nine season box sets?

TNG's season seven is scheduled to come out in the last week of December, which is, true enough, in winter, but we can be a bit more specific about it. Supposedly DS9 will be released in the same fashion, one season every other month or so throughout 2003. Presumably Voyager follows in 2004. And then Enterprise, someday. I wouldn't be surprised if they start selling it before the show has ended.
Mind you, no announcement regarding DS9 has been made, and if the TNG set is performing poorly I imagine they'll rethink their release strategy. (Though I think they've been selling fairly well.)

Not even rumors about anything new happening with TOS. I would hope, for the sake of region 2 customers, that they would take the existing files and put them in a box set, thus saving you money. But, who knows.
As for a release in the United States, I don't think that would go over very well. Surely the people who want the show have already bought it, and those who kind of like Star Trek but may not want to own the whole show have bought the episodes they wanted and are done.
Of course, that would seem to be an argument for the two episodes per disc format, an argument that is apparently quite flawed, seeing as how Paramount did not pursue it for TNG. So, I don't know. I still find it kind of hard to believe that there are enough people who want the pleasure of watching "Code of Honor" at any time of the day to justify selling the DVDs at all. Sure, I want to, but I am an abnormal, maladjusted person on the fringe of society, and not someone you want to really hang around with much, much less base a marketing assault on. But people seem to love their old TV shows on DVD, and you can't argue with a market that can support a Planet of the Apes TV show boxed set.

No, AFAIK after the TNG seasons, Enterprise will be released on DVD. IIRC autumn or winter 2002.
There won't be Region 2 TOS DVDs AFAIK. The UK market isn't big enough and TOS DVDs in German language are unfortunately impossible. The German episodes were first cutted and then dubbed. So, the Region 1 TOS episodes have scenes, where no German dubbing is available. This means that every episode has to be redubbed. And they don't have the money for that.

It should be noted that the upcoming Enterprise release is region 2 only, and as such doesn't entirely apply to the original question.

In the Uk theres a DVD magazine called DVD Review (original!) and a while back it was in there that DS9 comes out next year exactly as TNG has. then voyager afterwards. maybe they will release the Enterprise DVDs alongside the other shows at a series a year or something. But the DS9 and voyager sets was confirmed by paramount apparently.

Just heard that Paramount plans to do Region 2 TOS season boxes. But at first they have to dub all the scenes that were left out during the original German dubbing.

I don't know but I doubt that anyone would buy an incomplete product.

"Patterns of Force" is more than a little hamfisted, but I wouldn't call it terrible.

i kind of understand the disgust that German fans express in reference to that one, and it could have been done better, but i dont see that as an impetus to censor the whole thing (again). I mean, there are episodes i like a lot less and im not asking they be removed. its part of the set.

Actually, putting aside the question of quality, it does feature several swastikas. I can no longer remember what the German policy on those in films and TV is...
