Discs almost always come out not long before the next season these days. I just noticed that Westworld's are coming out right before season 2, 13 months after the 1st season premiere.

Well, I'm not going to pay for it twice. I'm 100% sure it'll be out on Blu 4K eventually. It's Star Trek, people want to buy it.

All other Trek series have since made it to disc and iTunes, so I don't really see why DSC would be any different.
The last Star Trek season was also twelve years ago, before Blu-Ray and HD video streaming were invented. Times have changed. Quite a few streaming-first television series have yet to make it to disc. Now, I'm not saying definitively that Discovery will never make it to disc. I'm just saying that it's no longer a sure thing.
Westworld is a premium cable show, not a streaming show so it really isn't a fair comparison.
The other Trek shows weren't exclusive to a new streaming service that is trying to build up subscribers.
That's true. They're both dependent on subscribers, and some HBO subscribers are streaming only
Finally. Got word from someone who consulted with Netflix tech help. DSC is available in 4K to those who have the equipment to play it.

Fantastic scoop. It has not been said in any news articles yet. We'll see in another 10 days. The behind the scenes footage should be all over Entertainment Weekly next week so the cameras should indicate if so, the monitor readouts...
I guess this would be the thread for this question: do we know if the version of the pilot that will air and the version of the pilot that will stream are the same edit? I know The Good Fight had different edits for each, but I think that was to accommodate nudity and swearing, which is probably not a factor here...
Given that the promos say TV-MA I don't think it will be the same version. It will likely be TV-14 version on broadcast and then TV-MA on CBSAA. Just a guess though.
Some of us have been trying to explain why exactly cbs is trying to establish a streaming service. Here are the numbers to back up the changing face of TV.

Well, let's hope their infrastructure has been upgraded sufficiently to take the load they should be expecting from such a potentially massive viewing audience. Years ago, when CBS first introduced this technology it was quite lackluster and had some serious issues with streaming quality, availability and compression quantization. If every Trekkie/Trekker/Trekster/general geek logs onto this thing and they're not ready for it, the load might turn into an unintended and accidental DDOS attack causing their switches and servers to melt down into molten slag.

That's true of anything transmitted via cable/satellite/internet in general because (unless it's a premium where they advertise and charge extra) there is usually some signal or data compression.
