"40 bucks is pretty damn reasonable if you ask me."
At 8 episodes that's $5.00 an episode.
Compare this to the X-Files: 24 episodes for roughly $100 that's 4.17 an episode. Not that far off but considering the series is quite a few years old compared to X-Files and that number is troubling to say the least.
I think the studios are shooting themselves in the foot with this one. Quantum Leap does not have as large a fan base as the X-Files does. My 2 cents

Well, Leap is hitting the stores for pre-order. And all you "60 bucks is too much" people can clam up now. DDD has it for 38.99 and Amazon has it for 41.99 (less StL, of course).

This is a must buy for me, so I will be purchasing it. They better release all the seasons, though.

Honestly I think that everyone will be surprised by how well this sells... there is a much larger fan base for this show than some of you realize... besides, I have spent $40-$60 on lots of things that I have never even seen... the way I see it, most of this show's fanbase can afford it... we aren't teenagers who are surviving on an allowance.

This is awesome! I'm not sure if I've even seen the first season, 'cause I think I started watching on the second one. I wouldn't pay $60 for it, but $40 not too bad.

Some more information, from TVShowsOnDVD.com:
We now have the official specs for the "Quantum Leap - Season 1" DVD release which were not provided in the original announcement of the June 8 release. Universal recently posted these, and so we decided to post them here:
2 "DVD-14" discs (double sided, dual-layer on one side and single-layer on the other)
Disc 1: 3 Hours 9 Minutes run time
Disc 2: 3 Hours 58 Minutes run time
Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 (as broadcast)
Audio: English Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono
Subtitles: French, Spanish, close captioned
Packaging: Digipak with Slip Sleeve
No official word on the extras yet, but we'll bring them to you once they've been announced. Stay tuned for that. Don't forget we have the full-sized cover art already available.

Why would they have DD2.0 mono when the show was produced and aired originally in stereo?
