Check out the
MSRP for TNG season one
. I've checked this across several websites, and they're all showing the lower price. It seems to apply to the first three seasons of TNG and DS9.

Off-thread a litte, but I'm one of those waiting for a price drop for The Original Series set. Anyone seen any new sets for less than the ~$260.00 range?

I hope that this is a sign that Paramount is re-thinking the "way too high" list prices for these sets.
I have the Deep Space Nine and the Voyager complete series, but not Next Genereation or Enterprise simply due to the costs. If they would make all the season sets in the $50 to $60 range, I would easily buy the rest. It is just silly to think they are so special they can charge what they want.
My gut instinct is this is a test to see how the lower priced sets sell. Unfortunatly most people who would buy them, already did, so I am not sure they will see a large influx of people now buying them... Unless they drop all seasons to the new price range, I doubt it will have much effect.

Except... They have my money, and I'm not alone. Getting TNG and DS9 on DVD was worth the price to me at the time (so was TOS, but I was sort of unemployed then...).
This is just treating TV the same way as features - comes out at one price, stays there a while, and goes down when the pool of people who will buy it at that price dries up. Repeat as needed. It's just taking a little longer.
One thing I do hope is that if Paramount is dropping prices, they'll start putting TOS/TNG/
Enterprise into something more like the DS9 packaging than the unwieldy things they're in now.

I don't think that's even close to being true. I know lots of people who've seen every episode of Star Trek ever aired (at least up until Voyager) but wouldn't shell out the money for these sets. And then there are casual viewers who might by the series if it didn't cost as much as three seasons of The Simpsons.

Oh, man, I hope I'm able to locate DS9 S7 and VOY S1 and S2 at that low a price! Those are the only ones I need to complete my collection. Hope the wife doesn't kill me when I get them - she already knows I plan to get the "Superman" movies SE box set and "Superman Returns" when they come out!

I really hope this holds until the DDD 20% off sale. I'd like to complete my DS9 collection as I only got the first two seasons. However I got em for $40 a piece off of eBay used... and yes they are the legit R1 releases.

Competitive with what? Who else is selling
Star Trek season sets?
