No Blu-ray?
[There are no Blu-ray threads I can find in this IMDb forum. Any old ones have been purged, so let this be the current one.]
I haven't watched my DVDs in years and I was just thinking of doing that.
Then I thought "but I should probably get it in Blu-ray -- surely it's been remastered by now. Of course, as most of you know, this has never been done. Here's a thread the capsulizes the reasons nicely:

Take note of the 3rd reply from Eric M. Van written just over 2 years ago:
Given that the cost of CGI goes down continually, I actually think it's inevitable, if that proves to be the only stumbling block. But that may be at least a decade off.
Of course, someone has to do that work.
Any more recent news? Has JMS spoken up on this?
PS: it probably wouldn't hurt for everyone to add their name to the pre-order / waiting lists. Nothing will tell them that it will be worth the cost than a hefty list of waiting customers:
