They'll gladly do something for you. They'll sell you the new set for more
of your hard earned (or not so hard earned) money! How else do you think
they are going to milk consumers for every penny they can? Why should MASH
be different than any other video or music (CD) title that has money making
potential. Anything media companies believe has good sales potential gets
the multiple release treatment, you know umpteen countless different
releases starting with the basic title version and one day ending (if we are
lucky) with the SUPER DUPER SPECIAL RATED UN-RATED ULTIMATE DIRECTOR'S
COLLECTOR'S STUDIO
ACCOUNTANT'S REMASTERED DIAMOND PLATINUM COLLECTION. . . ETC edition. You
don't really think the "ultimate MASH collector's set" is actually going to
be the last version issued - not if it sells and they can continue to make
money?
