Wow! I had sold a friend my original 2-ep per disc DVDs (I had about 25 of the titles), but hadn't pulled the trigger on the new season set DVDs. Looks like I'm going to do that now.
The prices for these on Ebay will be sinking like a stone but some of the poor souls in auctions with bids now that are already higher then DDD... oh, the humanity.
I will pick these 3 up in December when DDD has their next 20% off sale. I am in no rush to buy it before then, although I certainly would understand why people would buy them ASAP. That is a big price drop, about time. Maybe there is a new release in the works ala the complete Twilight Zone collection ????
WOW Great Prices Indeed!! I allready own S1,S2 of TOS.. Does anyone see S3 available individually at ddd ? I only see S1 listed by itself and then the bundle of all 3 sets.
Same reason they dropped prices on TNG and DS9 -- all the geeks who are willing to pay $90 per season have bought the sets and sales dropped. Now they're trying to get more casual fans to buy.
I am a pretty big Star Trek geek and even I wouldn't pay the original price. I had bought about 12 of the 2 disc sets and stopped THAT after awhile! Anyone know more about the rumored HD release?
Interesting how there's rumours of Star Trek TOS being re-issued on HD format. It is a rumour I would bet, but it is within the realm of possibility. The current discs look pretty darn good an HDTV with an old non-upconvert player.
When it comes, it will reveal to a great degree, a lot of stuff they never anticipated we'd see. I'll leave it at that for your imagination.
yoink!! Wow-I can't believe Barnes and Noble changed their price that quick! I ordered it at the price above (grand total-$131.80), and passed the info on here. Here's the latest book I hear Band N is carrying "How To Loose Business In 48 Hours Or Less"-10% cheaper with a member's card.
I pre-ordered the new price (that's how DDD showed it...as a pre-order to be released Aug. 22), so I'll eagerly await them next week. I had the old 2-discers (about 2/3 of them anyway), but since I sold 'em off I haven't seen TOS in a while. It will be fun to watch it again after the break. My old discs certainly looked quite excellent on my HDTV, so I doubt I'll be jumping too quickly after a HD release of the show. Maybe years down the road. Maybe.
