Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD Details Announced

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the odo-and-pals dept.

l0key432 writes "The first season of Deep Space Nine will be released on DVD in late-February next year in the form of a six-disc box set, Paramount Home Entertainment officially announced on StarTrek.com. The DVDs will contain, of course, all of the season one episodes, newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and many extras. The following six seasons will be released one or two months apart from each other, as the Next Generation box sets were. Good to see this show finally coming out on DVD and getting some of the recognition it truly deserves."

    And this is Deep Space Nine... Not great cinema was it...

    And when the format changes (as it will, you can pay all over again.)

    You can. I won't. I hope that there's too few suckers out there for the studios to make yet another buck off this.

    That was a decent series- but not as good as Picket Fences. Now that's something that deserves some DVDs. The creator, David Kelley, has been TV's golden boy for the past few years. I wonder why they've never tried to put out his old stuff.

    However, sci-fi/fantasy in general will have a better audience for DVD publication than a show in the "real world". Maybe not bigger, but more dedicated. A particular fan can be roped in not just by characters and story, but by technology (setting, props, costume, makeup). For nerdy folks, the opportunity to speculate on the plausibility of imaginary technology can be a big draw.
    (Coincidentally, nerds are more likely to collect DVDs)
