You think they really care about what the customer might already have ?

I suspect they'll cut their losses and stop releasing on HD-DVD. You really think there will be enough demand for HD DVD for Paramount to release not just season 2 but all the Star Trek TOS seasons ? THe only way I see this happening is if there is dramatic turn in HD DVD's fortune to more than offset the impact of the Warner decision.

Yes, but not out of any empathy with HD-DVD owners. It's all about what the customer will buy in the future. - Audiophilander 10:46:23 01/15/08 (0)
Paramount does NOT want to lose potential customers for the second and third seasons of the Original series by switching format horses in mid stream. That would not only screw over those who purchased the first season at a premium price with the promise of future seasons in HD, but it would probably limit the interest in Blu-ray only versions even if they reissued the first season in Blu-ray.
Keep in mind that the 1st season of the original series sold quite well on HD. Food for thought.
