The Sci-Fi Channel loves to break stuff up just to reissue it again,
have you guys seen what they did with Farscape? Talk about trying to
bleed consumers dry! Anime gets that kinda shit too. BTW how much are
Star Trek boxsets over there? Personally I'm willing to pay over $100
USD per season simply because of the wonderful job they did with them
and the fact they are doing them in 5.1, but I really only liked Deep
Spade Nine enought to buy them.
