Enterprise Possibly Coming to R2 This Christmas
Here's the story from The R2 Project:
You may remember before Christmas we arranged a link through to the a Paramount sponsored on-line survey regarding "Enterprise" on DVD. Paramount wanted feedback on the release strategy, should there be a release every month or one big box set before Christmas. Previous surveys we have run (see: Our On line survey for example ) suggested that readers of this website wanted a box set at Christmas and not featureless disks once a month.
Well it seems that Paramount and their on-line survey (which was also mailed to members of their Latinum card database) agrees with us. In a major "Enterprise" article in a trade publication, Paramount have let it be known that "Enterprise" will be coming to DVD as a boxset just before or after Christmas this year. Paramount's "Star Trek Marketing expert" is quoted as saying about the opinions expressed in the survey:
"They want the product as quickly as they can get it and they know that VHS is the quickest route to market"
"They also said that what they didn't want was DVDs month in and month out with poor extras. They want a DVD box set that is totally comprehensive."
The article also mentions that the extras for the set are already being worked upon although there are no details as of yet. However we can confirm that the VHS series (at least episode one) is being released widescreen (around 1.78:1 letterbox) so I guess that the eventual DVD release will also be widescreen.
