I completely agree. Plus, wasn't the S1 set $120 MSRP when it had the book in it? If it wasn't $120, it was definitely $100 MSRP when it first came out so I see no reason to expect the Blu-ray to be cheaper than the DVD set.Originally Posted by Brandon Conway
Sounds like this new set (and the seasons to follow) are gonna be STACKED. $100 MSRP (with most sale prices being around $65-70) seems more than reasonable. That's only $2-3 per episode.
I'd like to see The Twilight Zone in the highest qualty possible. And while the DVDs do look great, there's almost no chance that the Blu-rays won't blow them out of the water simply because of the increase in resolution between the two formats.Originally Posted by Joe*A
Question: if one already owns the entire series on standard DVD, why would you shell out more money for the same thing? Is the "improved" quality that important given that the standard DVDs look great as is without BlueRay.
So it is safe to say we can expect each season to be released with even more extras than the previous box sets? I will still hold onto my DVD sets just in case if isolated score tracks etc are not carried over.Originally Posted by Brandon Conway

I agree with you completely. I double dipped on a few movies because the DVD's were really poor or in the wrong aspect ratio, and the BR's were cheap catalog titles. Otherwise, I am happy with high quality DVD's that I already own (Star Trek TOS, TZ), and saving my money to purchase things I don't own yet. I will always consider a BR over a DVD, it just depends on the price difference, and high priced double dips don't qualify. Now if money were no object then I'd be all over this release.Originally Posted by Joe*A
The only reason I'd buy Blue Ray is if I didn't already own the series on standard DVD. This is not an attack on Blue Ray but on double dipping especially if you're essentially buying the same show twice.
That is true, but I doubt I'll buy this series for the third time on disc. I bought it the first time it was released on SD DVD with the Image releases then a second time with the definitive collection. The third time on blu-ray won't happen unless I can purchase them on sale.Originally Posted by TravisR

I also, blasphemously, happen to like the anamorphic quality of the DVD sets filling my screen, and am not a stickler for seeing this 4:3 with bars.
I buy Bds whenever the choice exists on something I don't own. And for the things I do own, I upgrade to the Blu's quite a bit- even on things that might only be a casual interest. I'm fortunate to have a pretty good A/V set-up and the difference in quality is appreciated when the Blu is rendered 'source faithful'.Originally Posted by TravisR
