Price on Star Trek Seasons

[Ziggaa]

Ok so when i go browsing the dvd section in futureshop or wherever...seasons for most shows can range from 39 bucks to $60 or even $80 at the most...Then I look at the Star Trek seasons.....They are all like $120 or $140 for a season....wtf? Why is the trek stuff so expensive....I am a fan of star trek but i'm not going to pay that much for a season......and they wonder why we download these things....If anyone can explain to me why it gets priced so high compared to other shows that would be great.:gaa:

*Ahem*
. . . BITTORRENT!!

Ah I diddn't say it!

wow thats rediculous. Im normally against downloading stuff you know you like because your not showing your support and cant be called a true fan but thats just a crazy price. Someones taking advantage of their fans.

[Law]

Yeah i have wondered this as well. im not a big Trek fan but I have seen the prices at best buy and its always over 100 dollars. Crazyness.

For TOS, that would be like packaging DOS games on a CD.

They might be able to use computers to digitize the original prints.

I will wait and see on this one.

It's expensive because they know that the hardcores buy Star Trek plates by the room-full at ridiculous prices (http://search.ebay.com/star-trek-plate_W0QQfromZR8QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ3QQsbrsrtZl) :D

God, I wish I had kept all my Trek paraphernalia from when I was a kid!
