Television on DVDs

If not for the DVDs, I never would have gotten in to "24" or "Alias". There's also "The Apprentice", whose first season was recently released on DVD for about $41.

My question to all is this. Why, if all these other shows are released for between $30 and $45, does Paramount charge $100 for Star Trek? I would TOTALLY buy The Next Generation and Voyager if it were $45, but the $100 price tag just makes me not want to buy it.

Does anyone else think these Star Trek TV shows are WAY too highly priced?

  • I totally agree, here in Canada the Trek sets are $120 (Canadian) while, all others like Highlander, Babylon 5 and others are routinely in the $75 range, totally overpriced. In this price range, they've alienated a routine box-set purchaser like me...

  • yea, they are high. Though I'm a sucker for star trek, so i've bought all seven seasons of tng and ds9. I plan to get the 3 seasons of TOS next. I would have already gotten VOY, my wife and i caught it in its first season on UPN so we just watched it thorough (thank God for TIVO!) anyway, in the end i'll end up getting voyager too - there's just something about saying i have every episode of star trek =) (yea, i dont have the animated series...but they dont count since they arn't generally included in star trek cannon)

  • Why do they charge $100?

    Because the can.

  • They CAN charge $100 (and sell lots of copies), but look at all the business they're turning AWAY because of it.

  • It's because they have to make the money back when they (OVER) paid the actors millions of dollars.



    You didn't watch the first season of the apprentince? I remember at Universal hearing you talk about Donald Trump and how you were interested in real estate. I'm looking forward to the apprentince 2!
