This giant project, this massively popular series, no matter how long ago it was, will always have been a huge chunk of their lives.
And if they didn't like it, some of them would have dropped out early, but they were all there almost each and every episode (if not all).
On top of that, they might be actors, but these actors have become good friends in real life.
That's not a cheesy fan-fantasy, these people have worked and lived together for at least a decade, and I think some even live near to each other.
In any case, I can tell with little doubt, that this was probably the best job each on of them ever had.
And I think they're the kind of people/actors who would be delighted to reunite, even if it was for a special about the series.
They would do it for the fact that they're friends of each other and that they can look back at 10 to 20 years ago, also for the fans.
Because I doubt they'd have like "Friends-conventions" of their own.

I agree that they've moved on to other stuff, but this would be a like a reunion and I'm sure they'd be happy to also do it for the fans.
I don't know if you've seen these people, but they're not the most hesitant and closed up "high profile" actors as you might think.
And really, it's not like some kind of special would need long terms of contracts and shooting.
It would be a get-together. I mean, just think the "Roundtable Reunion" that's included on the 'Firefly'-BD.
Maybe with a little more production and construction to it since it would probably be through Warner Studios, but you get the idea.

Now, that's not to say that I personally expect new stuff of today to be on this release. Just maybe...
But, in all honesty, (if it were my decision) I'd either wait, or at least (also) make a "20th Anniversary Edition" in 2 years from now.
And like I believe I've said before, they could a "Friends - 10/20 Years Later"-special of some kind.
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if someone like David Schwimmer would take the initiative.
He even took on the role of director for a bunch of episodes on this series and even helped out on 'Joey'.
The others, especially Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, don't seem to mind to get their hands dirty in producing.

So I have a feeling there is something around the corner. If it's not on this BD-set, there probably will be some kind of special in 2014.
Even if it's for TV, like they would also do the whole series and other specials, and later it would come to home-video as an extra.
Unless they do want to go the "made exclusively for Blu-ray"-route, that's fine by me.

I can see where you're coming from, but quite often for shows like this there's always a feeling of reluctance on the part of the actors to take part in it any-more. I could be wrong and all 6 of the cast would love to contribute something else to the show, more likely for a 20th anniversary event in a couple of years, but for a set like this I'm not so sure.

I would be interesting if they did an one-off special for the 20th anniversary, showing what happened 10 years after they split.
