No confusion, just outrage over the price.
Yes, I understand this has been totally remastered for HD, and all that.
Yes, I do see that other HD titles cost more than the same title on DVD.
However, the price difference there, vs. what Paramount is charging seem a
little out of line.
Despite the HD remastering, it's still the same show, same episodes, just
shinier and prettier.
The red/blue/yellow boxes have a MSRP of $71. The HD version of the
material is $220 - that's 3x the price. If that was the norm, then why
aren't movies on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray selling for $45-60 ea? But they
aren't. They're selling for about $30-40 MSRP, compared to $20-30 MSRP
for the same title on DVD. So then, why isn't this version of Star Trek
in HD selling for $90-100? Even $150 would be understandable. But $220?
