A LAW & ORDER Rant!

LAW & ORDER was my favorite television series of all time. Nine of its twenty seasons have already been released onto DVD...and I own all of them. I had even pre-ordered two more seasons that had been announced on Amazon.
However, now I am pissed!
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that they are now releasing onto DVD LAW & ORDER, The Complete Series, a 104 disc set.
In other words, for those of us loyal fans of the series who already own those previously released nine seasons, in order to get the remaining eleven seasons, we are going to have to purchase those nine seasons all over again.
The current price on Amazon is a little under $500.00.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a f.u. to the fans of this series.
If the seasons were released individually, I'm sure the fans would buy them, but this move by Universal is just plain greed.
For my part, I'll pass on this set and keep watching the episodes on cable TV.
In fact, I'm willing to bet that a year or so from now, people will be able to pick this set up for $100-$200, so save your money and be patient.
And, have a creative day.
