Yeah I noticed DS9 and VOY sets have gone back up locally.

Might be because there was talk of them being remastered for a bit, and now it's unlikely because there's no money to be made doing it (TNG remasters apparently haven't been highly profitable).

The retail on them is terrible. I was interested right until I saw that they were milking the release again. Looks like there's a complete series BD set available now though, which makes individual seasons on BD look even worse. I think I might pick up the complete release sometime soon, under $20/season isn't too shabby.

Although if I actually had the retail DVDs they would look better via my blu-ray player due to 1080p upscaling.
There aren't any blu-ray remasters of DS9 or Voyager. DVD is the best available.

The mastering is alright, recording quality seems a little hit and miss due to age.

I got all the TNG blu-ray releases as they came out, well sort of. As each new season came out the previous one was reduced in price at JB Hi-Fi so I think the most expensive one I got was S1 'cos I was dead keen

They are well worth having, as is TOS BD set...which has the complete 2nd pilot (not available on any DVD release) plus it's both original and enhanced versions all in the one set.

TNG BD is far better than any DVD version (even if they're upscaled).

Just started watching DS9 a few weeks ago on Netflix. Just watched s3e06 - The Abandoned.

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for? Well it's time you became informed! (A) Almost tits. (B) Barely there. (C) Can't Complain! (D) Damn! (DD) Double Damn!(E) Enormous! (F) Fake. (G) Get a Reduction. (H) Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Aye, all the reviews I've read have mentioned that the transfer quality is stellar.
