Should be noted if everyone waits for a steep discount, that sends a message to Sentai that people don't want older anime anymore. Sentai takes less risks these days, when something doesn't work, they stop (See: SD Blu-ray, Sentai Kids, SoftCel Pictures). With how few of companies there are dealing with catalog content, you'd see stuff remain without a release. The initial sales are the most important and factor into what gets licensed or not.
Shame Sentai didn't handle this well. When a title really needs the love and care in certain apsects, mainly the video quality, Sentai doesn't do what MediaOCD does, would be nice if at the bare minimum they'd contract the work out sometimes. They can deliver in the translation aspect, though Discotek had to make corrections they didn't do for When They Cry (S1: Sentai didn't fix the Geneon subs from someone that has very few anime TL credits to their name, S2 apparently had some issues from them tweaking the Siren Visual translation, S3 apparently had issues with Sentai's in-house translation).
